Why is it better to use the metric system, rather than the English system, in scientific measurement?

Answer:

Because the metric system is acknowledged by all countries except for the US, therefore, to put it only in a format understood by Americans would make it harder for the larger population of the scientific community to understand. If it's in the metric system, it can easily be understood for peer review and or involvement

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint and midpoint.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

endpoint is (29, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for midpoint is $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2} )$

So, let $(x_{2} , y_{2} )$ be the coordinates of the endpoint you are looking for.

$x_{1} = -9$ and $y_{1} = 7$

$(\frac{-9 + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{7 + y_{2} }{2} )$ = (10, -3)

$\frac{-9 + x_{2} }{2} = 10$ $\frac{7 + y_{2} }{2} = -3$

-9 + $x_{2}$ = 20 7 + $y_{2} = -6$

$x_{2} = 29$ $y_{2} = -13$

endpoint is (29, -13)

If Ryuk eats 7 apples for every 50 names Light writes in the death note, how many apples will he have eaten after Light writes 5

alex41 [277]

Answer:

70 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

7 apples x apples

-------------- = -------------

50 name 500 names

Using cross products

7 * 500 = 50x

Divide by 50

7 * 500/50 = 50x/50

70 =x
