Answer:
Jake has 9 sheep left
Step-by-step explanation:
As the question says, Jake has 12 sheep and all but 9 die. This means that he has 9 sheep left.
That's not a good question at all. It's a lot like asking
"What are the statements for News and President Obama ?"
There are at least a hundred formulas that are useful in trigonometry.
One of the most useful is:
In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse
is equal to the sum of the squares of the two short sides.
Pythagoras is the name of the ancient Greek mathematician who
discovered that formula. The formula is so useful that it's known
by his name, in his honor.
Just measure the width (or height, if you'll be stacking the pennies
a mile high) of a penny, then divide 5280 feet by whatever you find.
This is a great activity for a class, and in fact a good way to start
the project. First take one penny, and work out an answer. Then get
100 pennies, and measure them; do the same calculation to see how many
pennies it will take to make a mile. There will probably be a
difference, because you can measure 100 pennies more accurately than a
single penny. Or maybe you have a micrometer that will measure one
penny precisely. Which is better can be a good discussion starter. And
don't forget to try it in metric, too.
Just to illustrate, using a very rough estimate of a penny's width,
let's say a penny is about 3/4 inch wide. The number of pennies in a
mile will be
5280 ft 12 in 1 penny
1 mile * ------- * ----- * ------- = 5280 * 12 * 4/3 pennies
1 mi 1 ft 3/4 in
This gives about 84,480 pennies. (This method of doing calculations
with units is very helpful, and would be worth teaching.)
If we measure 100 pennies as 6 ft 1 in, we will get
5280 ft 100 pennies
1 mile * ------- * ----------- = 5280 * 100 * 12 / 73 pennies
1 mi 6 1/12 ft
This gives us 86794.5205 pennies in a mile.
