Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi ( written as the Geek letter π) is a universal constant  found by dividing the circumference of a circle by it's diameter. So if you measure the diameter of a circle you can calculate it's circumference by multiplying by π.

Circumference = π * diameter.

It's value to the nearest hundredth is 3.14 but its actual value is a decimal number that goes on without bounds. That is in Maths it is irrational and can't be written accurately as a fraction.

Answer:

Pi is a number that is approximated by 3.14, or 22/7. It is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle. This ratio can be rearranged to find circumference of a circle by multiplying pi times diameter.

Kathryn bought a magazine for $4 and five erasers. She spent a total of $14. How much did each eraser cost?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Each eraser costs $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an equation</u>

4 + 5a = 14

4 = shows that cost for one magazine

5a = shows that 5 erasers cost a each

14 = total price

<u>Step 2:  Solve for a</u>

Subtract 4 from both sides:  4 + 5a - 4 = 14 - 4

Divide by 5 from both sides:  5a / 5 = 10 / 5

Answer:  a = 2

1.) You need to buy grass seed for a new lawn. The lawn will cover a rectangular plot that is 60 feet by 90 feet. Each ounce of
galina1969 [7]
Part A:
First, we will need to compute the area of the lawn.
We are given that the lawn is a rectangular plot with dimensions 60 ft and 90 ft.
Area of rectangle = length * width
Area of lawn = 60 * 90 = 5400 ft^2
Now, we will compute the number of ounces.
We are given that:
<span>Each ounce of grass seed will cover 120 square feet. Therefore, to know the number of ounces needed to cover 5400 square feet, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 ounce ---------> 120 square feet
?? ounce --------> 5400 square feet
Number of ounces needed = (5400*1) / (120) = 45 ounces

Part B:
We know that one ounce is equivalent to 0.0625 pounds.
For the lawn, we need 45 ounces, this means that:
number of pounds needed for the lawn = (45*0.0625) / (1) = 2.8125 pounds
which is approximately 3 pounds.
We know that each bag weighs one pound, therefore:
number of bags needed = 3 bags

Hope this helps :)
