How are units of length and capacity similar in the metric system

1 answer:

8 0

In the metric system, each of the common kinds of measure -- length, weight, capacity -- has one basic unit of measure. To measure smaller amounts, divide the basic unit into parts of ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on. To measure larger amounts, multiply the basic unit by ten, a hundred, or a thousand, and so on.
Length:
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
1 centimeter (cm) = .01 meter (m)
1 millimeter (mm) = .001 meter (m)
Weight:
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
1 milligram (mg) = .001 gram (g)
Capacity:
1 milliliter = .001 liter (l)

What is two filths plus one eighth

pantera1 [17]

Answer: 21/40

Step-by-step explanation:

25+18=?The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(2/5, 1/8) = 40

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(25×88)+(18×55)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

1640+540=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

16+540=2140

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

25+18=2140

Work out the curved surface area of this solid cone. give your answer rounded to 1 DP

GuDViN [60]

The Lateral Area of a cone, or the curved wrapping of the cone, can be found by this formula: $\pi rl$
The "r" stands for radius length, and the "l" stands for slant height (that is the official symbol). We are given that the radius length is 8 so we can plug that in.

$\pi 8l$

The slant height is 17. (Slant height is the distance from the vertex point of a cone to any point on the circumference of its circle base).

$\pi$ 8x17
Simplify
$\pi$ 136 cm squared

I'm not quite sure what DP is, but if it means exact value leave the pi symbol. Pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter, so 3.14 is not necessarily the most exact in all circles. Hope this helps!

What is 0.72 bar as a fraction

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.72 is the same as 72100 (try putting both into a calculator!) as you can view 1.00 as 11 . Reducing the fraction gives you 72100 = 1825 .
