Mrs. Jenkins has petri dishes to divide evenly among the students. She wants to make sure she has enough petri dishes. The number of dishes each student gets depends on the number of students. The more students that decide to do the bacteria experiment, the fewer the number of petri dishes each student gets.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok, suppose that there are M Petri dishes, where M is an integer number.

If there are N students in the class, then the number of Petri dishes that each student gets is:

# = M/N.

(always that N divides M)

If not, we will have a remainder, R,  of Petri dishes such that:

M ≥ N

R < N

This means that:

The total number of Petri dishes must be equal or larger than the number of students.

If M is larger than N, and N does not divide M, then the remainder of the quotient will be smaller than N.

Now with this, you can replace the numbers and do the math.

"The more students that decide to do the bacteria experiment, the fewer the number of Petri dishes each student gets."

You can easily see this because the equation for the number of Petri dishes that each student gets is:

# = M/N.

Here, N is in the denominator, then if the number of students in the class increases, the denominator in the operation increases, which means that the quotient will be smaller.

Answers

The shapes in the three groups are quadrilaterals

The shapes in group A and B belong to parallelograms and rectangles

How to determine the shapes?

From the complete question, we can see that the shapes in the group A have opposite parallel sides and the angle between the adjacent sides is not 90 degrees.,

This means that the shapes in group A are parallelograms

Similarly, the shapes in the group B have opposite parallel sides and the angle between the adjacent sides is 90 degrees.

This means that the shapes in group A are rectangles

Hence, the shapes in group A and B belong to parallelograms and rectangles

Problem 3

Answer: Choice A and Choice C

-----------------------

Explanation:

Think of stacks of coins. Let's say we had 2 stacks of 10 quarters each. The quarters are identical, so they must produce identical volumes. Those sub-volumes then add up to the same volume for each stack. Now imagine one stack is perfectly aligned and the other stack is a bit crooked. Has the volume changed for the crooked stack? No, it hasn't. We're still dealing with the same amount of coins and they yield the same volume.

For more information, check out Cavalieri's Principle.

With all that in mind, this leads us to choice C. If the bases are the same, and so are the heights, then we must be dealing with the same volumes.

On the other hand, if one base is wider (while the heights are still equal) then the wider based block is going to have more volume. This leads us to choice A.

I answered this question before with the exact radius, and I remember the answer being this.

Formula:

V=4

3πr3=4

3·π·33≈113.09

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 113.1 cm³

The volume of a sphere of radius r is V = (4/3)πr³.

If the radius is 3 cm and the answer is to be expressed to the nearest tenth, then we get:

V = (4/3)(3.14159)(3 cm)³

  = (4/3)(84.82 cm³

   = 113.1 cm³
