Answer:

B. 0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the movement of an object and are required to find the total displacement.

Now, as we know that 'displacement' refers to the length of the shortest path between two points.

i.e. We are required to find the shortest path the object covers.

Now, we can see from the figure below that the given movement,

40 m north → 40 m west → 40 m south → 40 m east,

will bring the object back to the original position ' O '.

Hence, the total displacement will be 0 m.

Recycling one glass bottle can save enough energy to power an oven for 7.5 minutes. A glass bottle weighs 500 grams. Glass used
musickatia [10]

This is a units conversion problem: you have time and you want to convert that to money. Any units conversion problem involves multiplication by 1 in various forms. When you are given 7.5 min = 1 bottle = 500g, you know that (500 g)/(7.5 min) = 1 because the numerator and denominator are equal. (Of course, you are aware that 500 g = 0.500 kg.) The idea is to choose the forms of 1 that cause units you don't want to cancel, leaving only the units you do want.


6\,h\times \dfrac{0.500\,kg}{7.5\,min}\times \dfrac{60\,min}{1\,h}\times \dfrac{5\,p}{1\,kg}\\\\=\dfrac{6\cdot 0.500\cdot 60\cdot 5\,p}{7.5\cdot 1\cdot 1}=120\,p


The glass for recycling that would save enough energy to power an oven for 6 hours costs 120p.

What is 3.57 as a fraction
Ainat [17]
357/100
because .57 is the same as 57 hundriths which translates to 57/100. Now you have 3 and 57/100 and to make thing into an improper fraction you follow these steps.
1. mulitply the whole number (the number in front on the fraction) by the denominator (the lower part of the fraction). In our case, multiply 3 and 100. You get 300.
2. Add your answer to the numorator (the upper part on the fraction). 300 plus 57 equals 357.
3. Use your answer as the new numorator and keep the original denomanator.
