The required number of weights used in chemical balance to weigh 237g is 4,1,1,7 respectively.

What is mathematical expression?

A mathematical expression expression in mathematical is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Here, it is given that :

A chemical balance needs to weigh 237g using weights of 50g, 20g, 10g and 1g.

Now, let us find the number of weights for each weight type :

For 50g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 4 that is :

50g x 4 = 200g

Now, for 20g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 1 that is :

20g x 1 = 20g

Now, for 10g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 1 that is :

10g x 1 = 10g

Now, for 1g weight the maximum number of weights needed will be 7 that is :

1g x 7 = 7g

Adding all the weights we get :

200g + 20g + 10g + 7g = 237g;

which is the required weight and the number of weights used is 4,1,1,7 respectively.

A dollar bill is worth _____ pennies. When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as ______ of a dollar. 100:10 10

Hey there! :D

A dollar bill is worth 100 pennies.

$1.00-> .01*100 <=== same thing

When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as 100:1, because there are 100 pennies in a dollar. One penny would just be one out of 100.

I hope this helps!

Which is not equivalent to the rest 13/20 66% 195/300 0.6500

Hey there! :)

Let's change all the fractions and percents to decimal.
_____________________________________________________________

When changing fractions to decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator
When changing percents to decimal, remove the % sign and move the decimal to places to the left.
_____________________________________________________________

13 ÷ 20 = 0.65
66% = 0.66
195 ÷ 300 = 0.65
0.6500 = 0.65
_____________________________________________________________

The answer is 66% because it is the only one that isn't equivalent to 0.65

Hope this helps :)
