Answer:

12.0 to 3 dig digs You must include the 0 to get 3 significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

This is a Pythagorean Problem. Use the formula

c ^2 = a^2 + b^2

Givens

a = 8 - 7 = 1 cm

b = 12 cm

c = ?

solution

c^2 = 1^2 + 12^2

c^2 = 1 + 144

c^2 = 145 Take the square root of both sides

√c^2 = √145

c = 12.04

c = 12.0 to 3 sig digs.

Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for 'x', isolate it. This means to keep 'x' on one side of the equal sign, while moving the other numbers to the other side. The numbers on the other side will tell you what 'x' equals to.

When 'moving' a number to the other side, you cancel it out where it originally is by doing reverse operations. (Reverse operation pairs are addition/subtraction and division/multiplication). To keep an equation balanced, what you do to one side you have to do to the other.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17=10$ Keep 'x' on the left and move everything over.

$\frac{3}{8}x-17+17=10+17$ Add 17 to both sides. "-17" cancels out on the left.

$\frac{3}{8}x=27$ Simplified right side

$\frac{3}{8}x/\frac{3}{8}=27/\frac{3}{8}$ Because 3/8 originally multiplies with 'x', do the reverse: divide both sides by 3/8.

$x=27/\frac{3}{8}$ To divide a fraction, change to multiplication and flip the fraction's top and bottom numbers.

$x=27*\frac{8}{3}$ Combine the factors into one fraction.

$x=\frac{27*8}{3}$ Multiply 27 by 8 in the numerator.

$x=\frac{216}{3}$ Simplify the fraction by dividing top by bottom.

$x=72$ Final answer, solved for 'x'

Ginger takes 10 nickels to buy pencils at the school store.How many cents does ginger have to spend

S_A_V [24]

For this problem, you don't need to know how much the pencils cost. You're only finding how much the 10 nickels are worth.

Start by knowing how much one nickel is worth. A nickel is worth five cents in US currency. Since you know the worth of one nickel, you can find the worth of ten nickels by multiplying ten nickels by five cents (0.05).

Multiply 10 by 0.05.

10 * 0.05 = 0.5

0.5 is equal to 50 cents in US currency, so this means that Ginger has 50 cents to spend to buy pencils at the school store.
