Just measure the width (or height, if you'll be stacking the pennies
a mile high) of a penny, then divide 5280 feet by whatever you find.
This is a great activity for a class, and in fact a good way to start
the project. First take one penny, and work out an answer. Then get
100 pennies, and measure them; do the same calculation to see how many
pennies it will take to make a mile. There will probably be a
difference, because you can measure 100 pennies more accurately than a
single penny. Or maybe you have a micrometer that will measure one
penny precisely. Which is better can be a good discussion starter. And
don't forget to try it in metric, too.
Just to illustrate, using a very rough estimate of a penny's width,
let's say a penny is about 3/4 inch wide. The number of pennies in a
mile will be
5280 ft 12 in 1 penny
1 mile * ------- * ----- * ------- = 5280 * 12 * 4/3 pennies
1 mi 1 ft 3/4 in
This gives about 84,480 pennies. (This method of doing calculations
with units is very helpful, and would be worth teaching.)
If we measure 100 pennies as 6 ft 1 in, we will get
5280 ft 100 pennies
1 mile * ------- * ----------- = 5280 * 100 * 12 / 73 pennies
1 mi 6 1/12 ft
This gives us 86794.5205 pennies in a mile.
Answer: The range of the medians of the numbers left and right of the median of the entire data set.
Answer:
x ≤ 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, get x alone by multiplying both sides by 3 (to get rid of the fraction)
3 (1/3x) ≥ 3(2.5)
x ≤ 7.5
(The sign will flip whenever you multiply or divide in an inequality)
Since the sign is 'less than or <u>equal to</u>' you need a closed dot on 7.5, and it will be a ray pointing left, because x will be a number smaller (aka less than) than 7.5
Answer:
a = c - 3b/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b - 3b = c - 3b
2a = c - 3b
2a/2 = c/2 - 3b/2
therefore your answer is a = c - 3b/2
Answer:
Connor is 15, so we multiply Connor's age by 3, because that's how old Sadie is, but -5.
So our answer comes out to 40.
Sadie is 40 years old.
Glad i could help, have a nice day <3
