Use dimensional analysis:

$\frac{10.6cm}{1}*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.106m$

Since we multiplied a numerator and a denominator by centimeters, we are only left with meters.

This answer is already is three significant figures by default.

A school has a goal of getting at least 2000 boxtops. They have 872 so far. They have 8 days left to get it. At least how many d

True [87]

Answer:

School needs to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total requirement of box tops = 2,000

The number of box tops they have already received = 872

So, the box tops left = Total number required- Number of tops received

=2,000 - 872

= 1,128 box tops are left so far.

Number of days left = 8

So, number of minimum tops needed each day = $\frac{\textrm{Total tops required}}{\textrm{Number of days left}}$

= $\frac{1128}{8} = 141$

Hence, they need to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Heidi spent a total of $60 on clothing items she bought 2 pairs of shorts for 10 dollars each she bought some t-shirts for 4 eac

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2 pair shorts and for t-shirts and sandals possible cases are

1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Heidi on the clothing items is $60.

Now , she bought 2 pairs of short for $10 each , so, the money spent on shorts will be $20.

Thus money for other stuffs should be $40.

Let she bought x t-shirts for $4 each , thus money spent on t-shirts will be 4x dollars.

Also let she bought y sandals for $12 each , so money spent on sandals will be 12y dollars .

Thus , 4x + 12y = 40. (since 40 dollars were remaining for other clothing

items)

So, x + 3y = 10.

So, the possible cases are 1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.
