Intel estimates that about 12 quintillion transistors are shipped around the globe each year. If that represents 10,000 times th
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quintillion = 10¹⁸ or (1000000000000000000)

∴ 12 quintillion = 12 × 10¹⁸

12 quintillion = 10,000 × Number of ants on Earth

Let the number of ants on Earth = n

12 quintillion = 10,000 × n

dividing both sides by 10,000

12 quintillion ÷ 10,000 = n

n = \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10,000} \\n =  \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10^{4}}\\n = 12\ \times\ \frac{10^{18}}{10^{4}} \\applying\ the\ second\ law\ of\ indices\ (\frac{x^m}{x^n} = x ^{m-n})\\ n = 12\ \times\ 10^{(18 - 4)\\n = 12\ \times 10^{14}\\in\ standard\ form\\n = 1.2\ \times 10\ \times\ 10^{14}\\\therefore n = 1.2\ \times\ 10^{15}

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵

Kiran wrote the expression x-10 for this number puzzle: "Pick a number, add -2, and multiply by 5."
ioda

Answer:

If you pick the number 2, you will get (2) - 10 = 8

But the way he said it, it would be:  (2) - 2 * 5 = 0

The correct way would be to write the expression:  (x - 3) * 5

Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Emilio bought an ant farm that had 15 ants in it already. He read somewhere that
Nina [5.8K]

The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that there are 15 ants initially and the ant population increases by 25% each week.

This is an exponential rate of increase that can be modeled by the following equation:

Number of ants after n weeks = Initial number of ants * (1 + rate of increase) ^{n}

Step 2:

Rate of increase = 25% = 25 / 100 = 0.25

Number of weeks = 12

Number of ants  after 12 weeks = 15* (1 + 0.25 )^{12} = 218.27 (rounded off to 218)

Step 3:

Answer:

The number of ants in his farm after 12 weeks is 218.
