Answer:

You have a 25%, or 1/4 chance that you will choose a yellow paper clip.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, you want to find the total number of paper clips.

6 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 5 = 20 total paper clips

<u>This is your denominator.</u>

2) From the problem, we can understand that there are 5 yellow paper clips.

<u>This is your numerator.</u>

3) From the numerator and denominator we have from above, your fraction is 5/20.

4) This can be simplified into 1/4, which is 25%.

There are two similar purses. The blue purse has a volume of 837 cm? and the red purse has a volume of 248 cm3, If the width of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The width of the blue purse that is similar to the red purse is approximately 50.6 cm.

<h3>How to Determine the Linear Measurement and Volume of Similar Solids?</h3>

If two solids, A and B, has a linear measure a and b respectively, and they are both similar to each other, the ratio of their volumes and their linear measures would be expressed as:

Volume of solid A/volume of solid B = a³/b³.

We are given two purses that are similar to each other:

Volume of Blue purse = 837 cm³

Volume of Red purse = 248 cm³

Width of Red purse = 15 cm

Let width of Blue purse be = x

Therefore we would have the following ratio:

Volume of blue purse/volume of red purse = (width of blue purse)³/(width of red purse)³

Plug in the values

837/248 = x/15

Cross multiply

(248)(x) = (837)(15)

248x = 112,555

Divide both sides by 248

248x/248 = 112,555/248

x = 50.6 cm

The width of the blue purse is approximately 50.6 cm.

Stephanie makes $6.60 an hour plus tips working at a restaurant. On a particular day, she worked 8 hours and made $78.80. Write

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Here is what'd you do:

Ignore the $78.80 at the moment and focus on the $6.60 an hour and she worked 8 hours.

So, basically you'd do 6.60 * 8 (or 660*8 if you aren't allowed a calculator)

For 660*8 you'd get:
5280. move the decimal over twice.

$52.80 , if you are allowed a calculator you would have just done 6.60 * 8

So now you know she got $52.80 just working hourly.

Subtract $78.80 from $52.80

Your Answer:
Stephanie made $26 from tips.

The question the narrator asks in lines 30-31

Leviafan [203]

The correct option is D) reaching the North Pole has no foreseeable

benefit to humanity.

The question the narrator asks in lines 30-31 ("Will it . . . railway") most nearly implies that reaching the North Pole has no foreseeable benefit to humanity.

<h3>What is North Pole?</h3>

The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth's axis, located in the Arctic Ocean approximately 450 miles (725 kilometers) north of Greenland.

Some key features regarding North Pole, here

Such a geographic North Pole doesn't really correlate with the magnetic North Pol.
That in the early 21st century was located north of a Queen Elizabeth Islands in situated in the northern Canada at roughly 82°15′ N 112°30′ W (it is gradually going to migrate northwest)—or with geomagnetic North Pole, which is located at approximately 79°30′ N 71°30′ W.
Every year, the geographic pole, which is located at a depth of roughly 13,400 feet (4,080 meters) in the ocean and is covered with floating pack ice, receives 6 months of full sunlight then 6 months of total darkness.
