It was rounding to the nearest THOUSAND.


We are looking at the thousands place, keep that in mind.


Remember: everything 5 and above is rounded up, everything below 5 is rounded down.


186,789 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


186,899 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


and 185,190 is below 500, it is rounded to 185,000


Only one matches the criteria of the question:


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


therefore the answer is 185,990 miles per second



Have a fantastic day!

How much time will it take for a bug to travel 5m across the floor if it is traveling at 0.5m/s?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Every second the bug travels 0.5m/s or 0.5 meters per second.

Given that, every 2 seconds the bug will travel a full 1 meter.

To solve this one can simply divide 5m by 0.5 and get 10 seconds.

In the figure, parallel lines r and s are cut by line t
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>x = 49</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel, the value of 2x - 8 is equal to 90.

=> 2x - 8 = 90

=> 2x = 98

=> <u>x = 49</u>

A population of bacteria begins with 1500 bacteria and grows to 4500 in one hour.
dezoksy [38]

The function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is; P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

<h3>How to calculate Exponential Growth?</h3>

The formula for exponential growth is;

P = P₀e^(rt)

where;

P = current population at time t

P₀ = starting population

r = rate of exponential growth/decay

t = time after start

Thus, from our question we have;

4500 = 1500 * e^(r * 1)

4500/1500 = e^r

e^r = 3

In 3 = r

r = 1.0986

Thus, the function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is;

P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

For the culture to double, then;

P/P₀ = 2. Thus;

e^(1.0986t) = 2

In 2 = 1.0986t

t = 0.6931/1.0986

t = 0.631 hours

It takes 120 unit cubes to completely fill a rectangular prism. the prism is 10 units cubes high
love history [14]

Answer:

<u>12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, I am pretty sure you are looking for the length.

Since area = length x width, I would say that you could divide as well.

120 = 10 x <u>12</u>

I am pretty sure the length is <u>12.</u>

<u></u>
