Answer:
<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.
The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.
The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.
Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.
The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm
Answer:
Explanation to answers are shown in the attachment
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a long solution but the detailed step by step and appropriate mathematical manipulation has been done as shown in the attachment.
a. If we subtract 75 from 550 twice, we get 400, which is the third member to join. Subtract 75 from 400, we get $325, the fourth member to join.
b. It is not possible that a member would join for free if it was a large family. 75 does not fit into 550 evenly. You can prove this by solving the expression 550÷75.
c. The lowest amount that a member would pay to join is $25.00. It would be the 7th member.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2
To solve, set up a proportion
3.25 cups x cups
---------------- = ---------------
13 servings 28 servings
Now cross multiply
13x = 28 * 3.25
Simplify.
13x = 91
Divide both sides by 13
x = 7 cups
To check your answer, use proportions again, but change the left side to 4.5 cups over 18 servings, use the same steps, if the answer is the same as above, then the answer is correct
