Answer:

14 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

10^3 = 1000

14,000 lb/1000 = 14 lb

Since the weight of the elephant is 1000 times the weight of the cat, then the weight of the cat is one-thousandth of the weight of the elephant. To find one-thousandth of a number, divide the number by 1000. 14,000 lb divided by 1000 is 14 lb.

P.S. I feel much better for the cat.

The cat weighs 140 pounds as 14,000 (the elephant) divided by 100 as it is 100 times the amount is 140.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray

1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in³

A crane is lowering a concrete block from a height of 270 feet above the ground at a constant rate of 2.5 feet per second. Which
iogann1982 [59]

The function would be h = 270 - 2.5s, where h is the height (in feet) and s it the time (in seconds) that has passed.

The 270 represents the initial value, which is given. We are told that the initial height of the block is 270 feet.

2.5s represents the feet that it has descended. We know the block is lowered at a rate of 2.5 feet per second. Multiplying this by s, the time, will give us how much it has descended.
