Answer:

Distance of Sun and Mercury = 58,000,000 km.

In Scientific notation, it would be: 5.8 × 10⁷ Km

Diameter of a human hair = 0.0025 cm

In scientific notation, it would be: 2.5 × 10⁻³ cm

Before Comparison, we need to bring centimeter to Kilometers or vice-versa, so we can easily calculate then, here, we will go from cm to Km.

2.5 × 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁵ Km = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

Now, we can compare the values, 

5.8 × 10⁷ Km > 2.5 × 10⁻⁸

[ reason. - power of smaller number is in negative, it means, it is denominator, which would be very small as compared to other ]

19.  What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ.  If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.  

x-5+5x-12=25  First, combine your like terms.  You will end up with 6x-17=25.  Add the opposite of -17 to both sides.  6x = 42  Divide both sides by 6.  x = 7.  Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2

20.  (5x-6)/2 = x+6  Multiply each side by 2.  5x-6 = 2x +12  Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well.  3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3.  x=6   To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2.  This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.

21.  On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units.  If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4.  The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.

23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x.  Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x.  Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x  Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2.  If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8

Solve 2x + 5y = –13. 3x – 4y = –8
disa [49]
If you would like to solve 2x + 5y = - 13 and 3x - 4y = -8, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>2x + 5y = -13  /*4
3x - 4y = -8     /*5
</span>_________________
8x + 20y = -52
15x - 20y = -40
_________________
8x + 15x + 20y - 20y = -52 - 40
23x = -92    /23
x = -92 / 23
x = -4

<span>2x + 5y = -13
</span>2 * (-4) + 5y = -13
-8 + 5y = -13
5y = -13 + 8
5y = -5
y = -1

(x, y) = (-4, -1)

The correct result would be D.) <span>(-4, -1).</span>

In the following sequence, each number (except the first two) is the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, .
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Fibonacci Series has been explained and the general term and shortcut to find the corresponding term has been attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Fibonnaci is a beautiful series in mathematics where the term in the series is the sum of the previous two terms of the corresponding term in the series.

Its general form is denoted by

X_{n} =X_{n-1}+X_{n-2},

where X_{n} represents the n^{th} of the Fibonnaci series.

The special thing about the Fibonacci series is that the more number of terms we proceed the ratio of the two consecutive term comes closer to the value of the Golden Ratio(φ) whose value is 1.618034.

But there is another method to find out the terms of the the Fibonacci series, which takes into account the value of φ. The formula for the following is as follows

Carmela mixes 3/4 kilogram of walnuts, 1/2 kilogram of almonds, and 1/4 kilogram of pecans together. She divides the mixed nuts
Evgesh-ka [11]

Amount of walnuts=\frac{3}{4} kg

Amount of almonds=\frac{1}{2} kg

Amount of pecans=\frac{1}{4} kg

Total amount=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}

LCM is 4 so sum is = \frac{3+2+1}{4}=\frac{6}{4} =\frac{3}{2}

As given, Carmela divides the mixed nuts into 3/10 kilogram bags so number of bags will be:

\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{10}}

= \frac{3}{2}\times\frac{10}{3} = 5

Hence, answer is 5 bags.
