In your BIO 111 course, you learn that human hair can vary in diameter, but one estimate of the average diameter is 50 microns o

r 50 x 10-6 meter. How many 10-nanometer (is 10 x 10-9) particles could be stacked across the diameter of a human hair?

Answer:

5000 particles of size 10 nanometer should be stacked

Step-by-step explanation:

Average diameter of the of the human hair = 50 micron = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Now,

let the number of 10 nanometer i.e 10 × 10⁻⁹ m particle be 'n'

thus,

n × 10 × 10⁻⁹ m = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore to find the number of 10 nanometer i.e 10 × 10⁻⁹ m particle,

n = \frac{50\times10^{-6}}{10\times10^{-9}}

or

n = 5000

Hence,

5000 particles of size 10 nanometer should be stacked

BartSMP [9]

you would change the denominators to the least common multiple, in this case, 12. then you would change the fractions to 8/12, 14/12, and 7/12. you would add those, and get 29/12. divide 29 by 12, and get 2. add the rest to get 2 5/12.

Answer:

<h2>M(-a, b)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula of a midpoint:

\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

We have the points P(-2a, 0) and Q(0, 2b). Substitute:

x=\dfrac{-2a+0}{2}=\dfrac{-2a}{2}=-a\\\\y=\dfrac{0+2b}{2}=\dfrac{2b}{2}=b

A train leaves Westchester at 6:30. What time should it arrive at Middlewich
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

a). 6:51

b). 6:30 am

c). 34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Train leaves Westchester at 6:30.

   From the arrival - departure table in column (2),

   Arrival time of the train at middlewich = 6:51

b). Kate has to reach Southam before 9:00 am

   Therefore, time of the latest train that she can catch to get to work on time is 6:30 am

    By this train she can reach at 07:19 at Southam.

c). Duration of journey from Westchester to Eastwick = 06:34 - 06:00

                                                                                        = 00:34

                                                                                        ≈ 34 minutes

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has a slope of 9/4 and contains the point (3, −4).
ozzi

Answer:

y+4 = 9/4(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=slope and b=y-intercept (probably useful for later on in the school years)

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

Substituting in what we know

y--4 = 9/4(x-3)

y+4 = 9/4(x-3)
