2. If you used the 23 cm basketball as your Moon sphere, how big

Mathematics

Ok so I heard this question a few times already and couldn't remember how it went so I decided to put my brain to the test, I used my algebra to use and complete it.

If the Earth were shrunk down to the size of a basketball (radius:4.69 inches) the Moon would be a tennis ball (radius: 1.2768 inches, to be exact) 23.5 feet away.

The Sun would be a 42.6-foot sphere (source) located 1.7 miles away.

The closest star, Proxima Centauri, would still be 463,151 miles away – almost twice the distance of the actual moon."

After losing 3 baseball cards, Peter gave half of his remaining cards to Bobby. If Peter gave Bobby 9 baseball cards, how many c
seropon [69]
If Bobby claims Peter started with 21 cards, then we'll work this into our equation.

21 - 3 (that he lost) = 18
18 / 2 (the half he gave) = 9

So this means that he did have 21 cards to begin with. Please reply to this with a list of the answers that can/could be checked!

156 revolutions in 180 seconds. how many revolutions in 2 minutes
Alona [7]
180 seconds is 3 minutes. If you divide 156 by 3, you will get 52. If you are looking for 2 minutes, you have to multiply 52 by 2. The answer is 104 revolutions in 2 minutes.

What is the LCD of 2/7 and 9/10
Ksenya-84 [330]
Assuming LCD means Lowest Common Denominator
Assuming by "and" you mean adding the two

Well, you go by the multiples of 7;
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63,<u> 70</u>
Multiples of 10;
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, <u>70</u>, 80, 90, 100

Straight away you can see the lowest common multiple is 70,

Now to go about adding them,
2/7 * 10 (both sides) , 20/70
9/10 * 7 (both sides) , 63/70

Then you add the two; 20/70 + 63/70  - now we can add them because they share the same denominator
20/70 + 63/70 = 83/70 = 1 whole 13/70 (simplified)

<u>The LCD is 70

Quick tip, </u>to find a common multiple (not necessarily the lowest) multiply the two denominators.

Least to greatest<br> 3/4,5/8,3/7,1/3,2/5
tangare [24]

Answer:

1/3 < 2/5 < 3/7 < 5/8 < 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given inputs:  

3/4 5/8 3/7 1/3 2/5

The least common denominator (LCD) is: 840.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCD:

3/4= 630/840

5/8= 525/840

3/7= 360/840

1/3= 280/840

2/5=  336/840  

Sorting this by the numerators of the equivalent fractions in order from least to greatest:

1/3= 280/840=       < 2/5=  336/840=    <     3/7= 360/840=      <    5/8= 525/840=       <     3/4 = 630/840

Therefore, the sorted inputs in order from least to greatest is:

1/3 < 2/5 < 3/7 < 5/8 < 3/4

Hopes this helps!

Have a good evening! :)

A group of workers can plant 5/8 acres in 4/5 days. What is the unit rate in acres per day?
Mila [183]
In order to find the unit rate of acres per day, or in other words, how many acres can they plant in one day, you must divide 5/8, the number of acres planted, by 4/5, the number of days it took to plant. When you divide the two fractions, first set up an expression:
5/8<span>÷4/5

Then, to make things simpler, turn the division expression into a multiplication statement so that you have 5/8*5/4. Then multiply straight across and you get your answer as 25/32. This means that the workers can plant 25/32 acres per day.</span>
