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.

A calculator was purchased for $29. The wholesale cost was $20. What was the percent markup?
Oxana [17]
If you would like to find the percent markup, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $20 is $29
x% * 20 = 29
x/100 * 20 = 29
x = 29 * 100 / 20
x = 145%

145% - 100% = 45%

The correct result would be 45%.

Value of the Line integral of xe^y dx over arc of x=e^y from pt (1,0) to (e,1). Please don't bother if you don't know how to do
irina [24]
Parametize C of the line integral as
({e}^{t} ,t)
from 0<=t<1 then
dx = {e}^{t} dt
which means by substituting x with e^t and y with and dx with e^t dt we get
integral \: from \: 0 \: to \: 1( {e}^{t} \times {e}^{t} \times {e}^{t} \: dt )
by adding exponents
integrl \: from \: 1 \: to \: 0 \: of \: ( {e}^{3t}dt )
\frac{ {e}^{3} - 1}{3} - \frac{ {e}^{0} - 1 }{3}
