I agree with the author. By using the metric system we know the exact amount of a medicine we took, whether it's in mg or mL. This way every doctor can prescribe the same amount.
If we were using some other units this may not be the case. For example, british and american inch were different until 1950's.
Example: if you go to a surgery and a doctor needs to cut "1 inch from the left part" it may cause a mistake as this unit is different in different countries. But if he needs to cut "2.5 cm from the left part" he knows exactly where to cut.
Another benefit of using metric system is that it is being used in almost every country in the world.
Answer:
3710.67 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is a^2 h/3
a = 22 h = 23
First, do 22 squared which is 484.
Now do 23 divided by 3 which is 7.666666667
Now multiply 484 and 7.666666667 together to get
3710.666667 or 3710.67 mm
Answer:
H = 45
J = 45
K = 135
Step-by-step explanation:
The total should be 360 degrees, and we know that J and H are the same since, uh I don't know (forgot the vocab word for it).
45 + 45 = 90
360 - 90 = 270
270/2 = 135
135 is the degree for I and K since, uh I don't know (forgot the vocab word for it).
So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.
you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
2.4 is how much they get.
