Given:

The diameter of cloud-water droplet is

$10^{-5}$

The diameter of pinhead is 0.001.

Explanation:

Divide the dimater of cloud-water droplet by dimater of pinhead to determine the times as great is the diameter of a pinhead as the diameter of a cloud-water droplet .

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{0.001}{10^{-5}} \\ =0.001\cdot10^5 \\ =100 \end{gathered}$

So diameter of a pin-head is 100 times the diameter of water-droplet.

Lucy spends 4 hours a week babysitting. Her sister Lily spends seven eighths as much time babysitting. Does Lily babysit for mor

olganol [36]

Answer:

Lily babysit for less than 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lucy spends in a week babysitting for 4 hours.

Lily spends seven-eighths of 4 hours.

Now, to find whether Lily babysit for more than 4 hours or less than that.

Number of hours Lucy babysit = 4 hours.

So, to get the hours Lily babysit:

$\frac{7}{8}\ of\ 4\ hours.$

$=\frac{7}{8}\times 4\\\\=\frac{28}{8} \\\\$

On simplifying we get:

$=\frac{7}{2} \\\\=3\frac{1}{2}\ hours.$

Thus, Lily spends $3\frac{1}{2}\ hours$ for babysitting which is less than 4 hours.

Therefore, Lily babysit for less than 4 hours.

What is 4 to the 6th power over 4 to the 8th power?

andreev551 [17]

4⁶ / 4⁸

Since the 'bases' are the same on top and bottom, you can
just subtract the bottom exponent from the top one.

4⁶ / 4⁸
= 4⁶⁻⁸
= 4⁻²
= 1/4²
= 1/16

Minny has two coupons, but can use one of them. The first one is for $5 off an item; the second coupon is for 20% off an item. T

joja [24]

Let's first solve for the $5 off coupon,

$28 - 5 = 23$

The final total is $23.00 with $5 off.

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

Now for the final price of the 20% off coupon,

$20\% = 0.2$

0.2 or 0.20 is decimal form of 20%. Easier to multiply than in percent form!

$0.2 \times 28 = 5.6$

$5.6 or $5.60 is 20% of 28, we're not done yet!

Lastly, subtract 20% off of 28 (5.6) from 28,

$28 - 5.6 = 22.4$
$22.4 or $22.40 is the final after 20% off!

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

Q. Which is less after the discounts??

$23.00 or $22.40

A. $22.40 of course which was the 20% off.

Part A : Which coupon should she use ?

Answer : Well, to get a lower price, less to pay, the 20% off coupon is better!

Part B: How much money will she save by using the better coupon?

Answer : $5.6 / $5.60 is the amount she'll save!

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

I hope that helps you out!!

Any more questions, please just ask me!!
