Mrs.Magee's farm covers 14 1/3 acres. She grows corn on 5/8 of her farm. On how many acres does Mrs.Magee grow corn?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

C. 8 23/24
One way you can solve this is by dividing 14 1/3 by 8, because it is the denominator of 5/8, then multiplying the quotient by 5, because it is the numerator of 5/8.

About 8% of the U.S. population catches the flu each season. Assuming everyone has equal probability of catching the flu, about

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1).

Explanation:

The odds of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.

When you know the probability of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.

Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:

Odds = p / ( 1 - p)

You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.

Therefore:

Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)

According to the United States Census Bureau, on September 11, 2014, the population of the United States was increasing by 11 pe

Papessa [141]

Answer:

317,988,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that according to the United States Census Bureau, on September 11, 2014, the population of the United States was increasing by 11 people every 12 seconds.

Let us find number of people increased in 1 minute as:

$11\times \frac{60}{12}=11\times 5 =55$

Now, we will convert 11 years into minutes and multiply by 55 to find increase in population in 11 years.

$\text{11 years}=11\text{ years}\times \frac{365\text{ days}}{\text{year}}\times \frac{24\text{ hours}}{\text{days}}\times \frac{60\text{ min}}{\text{hour}}$

$\text{11 years}=11\times 365\times 24\times 60\text{ min}$

$\text{11 years}=5,781,600\text{ min}$

Upon multiplying 5,781,600 by 55, we will get:

$\text{Population increase in 11 years}=5,781,600\text{ min}\times \frac{55 \text{ people}}{\text{min}}$

$\text{Population increase in 11 years}=5,781,600\times 55 \text{ people}$

$\text{Population increase in 11 years}=317,988,000 \text{ people}$

Therefore, the population of United States would increase 317,988,000 in 11 years.

On an average day, a garden snail can travel about 0.05 mile. The snail travels 0.2 times as far as the average distance on day

daser333 [38]

Answer: 0.04 miles

SOLUTION

Given,

Average daily distance of a garden = 0.05 mile.

Distance traveled on day 1 = 0.2 times as far as the average distance

= 0.2 x 0.05 miles

= 0.01 miles

Distance traveled on day 2 = 0.6 times as far as the average distance

= 0.6 x 0.05 miles

= 0.03 miles

Total distance traveled in two days

= Distance traveled on day 1 + Distance traveled on day 2

= 0.01 miles + 0.03 miles

= 0.04 miles

1- mass of earth is 1/95 of the mass of Saturn. if mass of earth is 5.97 x 10^24 kg.find mass of Saturn. show your all work out.

amm1812

Answer:

5.6715 * 10^26 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mass of earth = 1/95 the mass of saturn

If Mass of earth = 5.97 x 10^24 kg

Let the mass of saturn = x

5.97 x 10^24 kg = 1/95 * x

5.97 x 10^24 kg = x / 95

x = 95 * 5.97 x 10^24 kg

x = 567.15 * 10^24

x = 5.6715 * 10^26 kg

Mass of saturn = 5.6715 * 10^26 kg
