Answer:

She will need to purchase 16 rolls of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the total length of ribbon

Use the expression below;

T=R×N

where;

T=total length of ribbon Ruby has

R=length per roll

N=number of rolls

In our case;

T=120 meters, but since 1 meter=3.28084 feet

T=(120×3.28084)=393.7008 feet

R=25 feet

N=n

replacing;

393.7008 =25×n

n=393.7008/25

n=15.748 rounded up=16

She will need to purchase 16 rolls of ribbon

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins

Initial population growth is 60cells

Growth rate r?

Population growth is modeled as

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

Where,

Po is the initial growth at t= 0

Po= 60

P(t) is population at any time t.

Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)

Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120

Then, P(t) = 120cells

So, applying the formula

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

120 = 60•exp(⅓r)

120/60 = exp(r/3)

2 = exp(r/3)

Take In of both sides

In(2) = r/3

Cross multiply

r = 3In(2)

r = 2.079 /hour

The growth rate is 2.079/hour.

In a jar there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. What percent of the jar is filled with orange candies
Nastasia [14]

Answer: 25 percent of the jar is filled with orange candies

Step-by-step explanation:

In the jar, there are 3 yellow candies, 3 blue candies, and 2 orange candies. This means that the total number of candies inside the jar would be the sum of the yellow, blue and orange candies. It becomes

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 candies.

The percent of the jar filled with orange candies would be expressed as

number of orange candies/total number of candies × 100

It becomes

2/8 × 100 = 25%

The ratio of the heights of two similar cylinders is 1:3. If the volume of the smaller cylinder is 67cm^3, find the volume of th
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

  • 1809 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the scale factor:</u>

  • k = h/H = 1/3

Since the cylinders are similar, the other dimensions should have same scale factor of 1/3.

<u>The volumes are:</u>

  • v = 67 cm³
  • V = x

<u>Ratio of volumes is the cube of the scale factor, as the volume is the product of 3 dimensions:</u>

  • v/x = k³
  • 67/x = (1/3)³
  • x = 67*27
  • x = 1809 cm³

The quotient is 71 2/3 what is the divisor
Genrish500 [490]
The divisor is 3.
It is 3 because to make the whole number and the remainder a mixed number you take the whole number then for the numerator you write what is left over(remainder) and for the denominator you will write the divisor. In this case the denominator is 3 so the divisor is 3.

Hope I helped ! :D
