Each time you fold the piece of paper, you double its thickness. So we can write an equation to represent the thickness of the paper: 
t=thickness
f=# of folds

t=0.0038(2)^f

Let's solve for f.
(2)^f = (t/0.0032)
f= log(base 2) of (t/0.0032)

The paper needs to be thicker than one mile- or, converted into inches, thicker than 63360 inches.

So, f = log(base 2) of (63360)/(0.0032)
f = 24.24

The paper must be thicker than one mile, and we can't have a friction for our answer, so we round up to the next greatest integer. The answer is 25 times.

Hope this helps!!

Several students were asked how many blocks they walk from home to school each day. The results are shown in the line plot. How
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

25 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line plot is a simple graph that shows relationship among the values in a data using a number line.

From the line plot, each dot represents a student. While the number on the line shows the number of blocks walk each day by each student.

It can be deduced from the line plot that;

Only 1 student walks through 7 blocks, 2 walk through 5 blocks, 8 walk 4 blocks, 5 walk 3 blocks, 5 walk 2 blocks and 4 walk through 1 block to school each day.

So that;

1 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 25

Therefore, the number of students who took part in the survey is 25.

Thomas buys 6 souvenirs for his friends and family. Each gift takes up 1/15 of his suitcase. If he has two suitcases, how much r
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of souvenirs bought by Thomas = 6

Space that each souvenir takes of Thomas suitcase = 1/15

Number of Thomas suitcases = 2

2.  How much room is left for his own belongings in his suitcases?

Let's find out how much space the souvenirs take:

Number of souvenirs * Space that each souvenir takes

6 * 1/15 = 6/15 = 2/5 (Dividing by 3 the numerator and the denominator)

The souvenirs take 2/5 of one suitcase.

Now, we can calculate the room that is left for Thomas' belongings.

2 Suitcases - 2/5 for the souvenirs

2 - 2/5 = 10/5 - 2/5 = 8/5 = 1 3/5

<u>Thomas still has 1 3/5 suitcases available for his own belongings.</u>
