Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So \frac{72}{x+72} is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24

x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}

x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72

x = 228

Thus, the answer is 228 males.

Answer:

<em>A. Length of a Tour Bus                       ↔     #2.      1.1 × 10¹ meters</em>

<em />

<em>B. Width of an apple                             ↔      #3.     4 × 10⁰ centimeters</em>

<em />

<em>C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite    ↔    #6.     8 × 10² kilometers</em>

<em />

<em>D. Thickness of a human hair               ↔     #5.      9 × 10¹ micrometers</em>

Explanation:

<u><em>A. Length of a tour bus.</em></u>

The length of a tour bus should be measured in meters. It sure is way less than 1 kilometer and way more than a few centimeters. It could be about some meters, more than 5 meters, may be between 10 meters and 15 meters.

The measurement in the box # 2. is 1.1 × 10¹ meters, which is equivalent to 1.1 × 10meters = 11 meters. Thus, this is a reasonable length.

<u><em>B. Width of an apple.</em></u>

The most appropiate unit to measure the width of an apple should be centimer. It certanly is shorter than 1 meter and bigger than 1 mm.

The width of an apple could be, more or less, around 8 centimeters. The only measurement in the boxes that is in that order is that in the box #3., 4 × 10⁰ centimeters, because 10⁰ = 1, so 4 × 10⁰ = 4 × 1 = 4centimeters.

<u><em>C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite</em></u>

The distance from Earth to a satellite should be measured in kilometers.

You can find in the internet that the distances of the satellites are between 700 kilometers and 36,000 kilometers.

The number in the box #1 is too big, in the order of ten trillions of kilometers, because one trillion is 10¹²; thus that is notreasonalbe (too big).

The number in the box #6 is  8 × 10² kilometers, which is equal to 8 × 100 = 800 kilometers.

Thus,  8 × 10² kilometers (box #6) is the most reasonable measurement for the distance from Earth to a Satellite

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>D. Thickness of a human hair</em></u>

Of course, kilometers, meters, centimeters and even milimeters are units too big to measure the thickness of a human hair.

One micrometer is 10⁻⁶ meters or 10⁻³ milimeters.

In the internet you can find that diameter of the humar hairis in the range from 17 micrometers to 181 micrometers.

The measurement in the box #5. is 9 × 10¹ micrometers, which is equivalent to 9 × 10 = 90 micrometers.

Thus, 9 × 10¹ micrometers is the most reasonable measurement fot the thickness of a human hair.

9d + d + 2d - 4 = 6d<br><br> A: 2/3<br> B: -2<br> C: 2/9<br> D: -9 <br><br> Please comment
jonny [76]
<span>9d + d + 2d - 4 = 6d
Add d to 9d
10d+2d-4=6d
Add 2d to 10d
12d-4=6d
Subtract 12d from both sides
-4=-6d
Divide -6 on both sides
Final Answer: 4/6 or 2/3 *Both answers are equivalent to each other.</span>
