Tema [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A microscope 250 times greater than the regular one.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a ratio where the numerator is the measure on the map, or the blueprint, divided by the real measure of it.  Both on the same units whether on the numerator or denominator.

So if a microscope has a scale of 250:1 then I have a represented microscope 250 times greater than its real measure. Instead of usually reducing it, the scale of 250:1 enlarges this device 250 times.

If Casey deposits $16 into his lunch account each week, how much will be deposited in 5 weeks? If Casey decides to buy lunch for
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The exact number would be 26.66666667 but it would be 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually when dealing with decimals anything 5 and up would be rounded up but since we are dealing with money we don't round up. Since his friends lunch cost $3 every lunch the most he will be able to buy is 26. He will have about $2.5 left over which he cannot buy a lunch with so thats why you dont round up.

Solve for x. 8(9x-4)-2=3+2
gavmur [86]
So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side 
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>
