The first thing we need to know is how much grass the grasshopper needs to eat.
We have:
"must eat half its body weight in grass each day":
(2 grams) * (1/2) = 1 gram
Then,
"1 blade of grass weighs 0.1grams"
Then the amount you need to eat is given by:
N = (1) / (0.1)
N = 10 blades of grass
Answer:
the grasshopper needs to eat 10 blades of grass each day
Answer:
38.5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
9/ (x+2) = 2/9
Using cross products
9*9= 2(x+2)
Distribute
81 = 2x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
81-4 = 2x+4-4
77= 2x
Divide each side by 2
77/2 = 2x/2
38.5 = x
