Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Millie.
First we can realize that the number of cubes of each type does not matter, only the ratios between them. We see that if there are x yellow cubes, there are 3x blue cubes. And therefore, there are 5*3x green cubes, or 15x green cubes. This means that the cubes are in a 1:3:15 ratio, or that for every 1 yellow cube, there are 3 blue and 15 green cubes.
Now we can find the probability of picking a yellow cube. Since there are 18 non-yellow cubes for every yellow cube, this means that there is a 1/19 possibility of picking a yellow cube.
B. 54
Because 54+13=67
67+54=121
Its 12 because 4 times 12 is 48 if you add 7 to 48 you get 55
Multiply the weight in tonnes by the conversion factor ( 1 tonne = 1000 kg) to get the weight in kg's:
170 tonnes x 1000 = 170,000
Now convert to scientific notation, by moving the decimal point to have only 1 digit to the left of the decimal.
To do this, you would need to move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 1.70000
Now remove the 0's and multiply the number by 10 raised to the number of paces the decimal was moved to get:
1.7 x 10^5 kg's.
