Answer: 223 days

Step-by-step explanation:

From Kepler's third law, the orbital period of planet around the sun is related with the semi-major axis of the orbit as:

p² = a³

where p is the orbital period in years and a is the semi-major axis/ distance to the star in AU.

It is given for Venus, a = 0.72 AU, then

p = √(0.72 AU)³ = 0.61 years

1 year = 365 days 222.9 days ≈ 223 days

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first, take 22 minutes and divide it by 60 minutes, which is the number of minutes in an hour. Then, add two to the value, and multiply it by six square meters per hour, which is the rate that David can paint the wall. From there, you get 14.2 square meters which he painted in 2 hours and 22 minutes. Divide 14.2 square meters by the length of 11 meters to get 1.290 meters. Since they asked you to round to the nearest meter, you get 1 meter.

Answer:

12 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

If a child ticket costs 5 dollars

then 125-5=120

120 divided by 10(the cost of each ticket for an adult)

So there are 12 adults
