Answer:
The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a rule of three.
The real size of the mosquito is 16 mm, which is 100% = 1.
In the picture, the size is magnified 635%, so it is 100+635 = 735% = 7.35. So
16mm - 1
x mm - 7.35
x = 7.35*16 = 117.6
The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of minutes
y ----> the amount of fuel in gallons
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the unit rate or slope
b is the y-intercept or initial value
we have that
The unit rate or slope is equal to
----> initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
substitute
This is going to require a good bit of division. I am going to turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions. Remember that to divide fractions, you take the 2nd fraction, flip it, and multiply.
First (2 1/2)/(1/4) = (5/2)(4) = 20/2 = 10
Next, 3/(1/4) = 3(4) = 12
Lastly, (3 1/4)/(1/4) = (13/4) x 4 = 52/4 = 13
This means we need 10 rows of 12, 13 high. 10(12)(13) = 1560 cubes.
