3/100*x= 180
3x=180*100
3x= 18000
x=18000/3

algol [13]

Answer:

$1\times 10^4\ times$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, $w=0.0003\ m$

Width of Rhinovirus is, $W=0.00000003\ m$

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

$w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

$\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w$

Therefore, the grain of salt is $1\times 10^4\ times$ wider than Rhinovirus.

Alex buys 2 1/2 pounds of grapes. He buys 1 1/4 times as many pounds of apples as grapes. How many pounds of apples does he buy?

galina1969 [7]

Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds
