In this question weight of a flea and an ant is given, but their units are different. So comparing and finding out the weight of flea and ant would be difficult. First thing that needs to be done is to bring the units of both the flea and the ant under same unit. 
Weight of flea = 8 decigrams
Weight of ant = 3 milligrams.
Now let us convert the weight of the flea from decigrams to milligrams.
We already know that
1 decigram = 100 milligram
Then
8 decigrams = 100 * 8 milligrams
                     = 800 milligrams
Then 
The weight by which the flea is greater than the ant = (800 - 3) milligrams
                                                                                   = 797 milligrams.
So the flea weighs 797 milligrams more than the ant.

In a pen of goats and chickens there are 25 heads and 90 feet. How many goats and chickens are in the pen.
Anna [14]

Answer:

5 chickens, 20 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up two equations and use substitution

There are 25 total goats and chickens, so

G + C = 25

Goats have 4 feet and chickens have two, so

4G + 2C = 90\\

By solving for G in the first equation,

G = 25 - C\\

We can now use substitution,

G = 25 - C\\4G + 2C = 90\\4(25 - C) + 2C = 90\\100 - 4C + 2C = 90\\-2C = -10\\C = 5\\

We have 5 chickens, so we have 20 goats.

Let's double check:

5(2) + 20(4) = 90\\10 + 80 = 90\\90 = 90\\

It checks out!

A=10 combine like terms which gives you a+2=12 then subtract two from both sides which gives you 10

A= π r2 and v=3.14d

---Volume(v=3.14d):

3.14(15) equals 47.1

47.1 rounds to 47

nearest hundreth would be 0 that rounds to .1 or .10,which rounds to 47
v=47

---Area(π r2)

3.14(7.5)^2 is 3.14(56.25)
176.625

176.625 rounded to the nearest hundreth is 176.630.

Answer:

The area of a circle with the diameter of 15 is 176.630.

Selecting either a polygon or an area will sometimes reveal the area . True or false
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer with explanation:

→A polygon is a simple closed curve. So , a closed curve occupies area.

⇒When we use the word area, it describes two dimensional closed geometrical object.It is not necessary that ,the shape is polygon only, it should be a simple closed curve.For,example, Circle, Combination of Part of curve and line segments, but it should be a closed curve.

⇒There are some open curves , which occupies area ,but the curve is not closed from both sides, so we can't predict it's area precisely.Therefore , open curves does not come into consideration when we use the word area.

Therefore, Here "Sometimes" word is used.

So, Yes ,Selecting either a polygon or an area will sometimes reveal the area

→True Statement
