Answer:

5.1 cm

. . . . . .

All we have to do is convert our 51mm to centimeters.

We divide the length value by 10 to get our centimeters.

51 divided by 10 = 5.1

All we have to do is move our "invisible decimal"

In my way, every whole number has an invisible decimal at it's end.

For ex: '60.'

We can get into exponents. 10 is 10¹, any exponent is the number of zeros at the end of a number may have. Ex: '10² = 100'

We can move our decimal to the left since we are dividing. The amount of exponent numbers are the amount you move it, multiplying and dividing are different things with that.

Let's get back on topic.

Moving our decimal to the left with dividing is 5.1 since 10¹ has a "1" as it's exponent, making us move it "1" to the left.

Multiplying is going the right way.

I hope this helps.

Two planes start flying towards each other simultaneously from two different cities. The distance between the cities is 960 mile

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

257.5 mph

332.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial distance between the two planes is 960 miles, while the final distance (after t=1.5 h) is 75 miles, so the total distance covered by the two planes in 1.5h is

$d=960-75=885$ miles

Calling v1 and v2 the velocities of the two planes, we have the following equations:

(1) $v_1 = v_2 + 75$ --> velocity of plane 1 exceeds velocity of plane 2 by 75 mph

(2) $v_1 t+ v_2 t=885$ --> the total distance covered by the two planes is 885 miles (t=1.5 h is the time, and the products v1 t and v2 t represent the distance covered by each plane)

Substituting t=1.5 h, the second equation becomes:

$1.5 v_1+1.5 v_2=885\\v_1 + v_2 = 590$

By substituting (1) into this last equation, we find:

$(v_2+75)+v_2 = 590\\2v_2 + 75 = 590\\2v_2 = 515\\v_2=257.5$

And substituting this back into eq.(1), we find

$v_1 = 257.5 + 75=332.5$

So, the speeds of the two planes are

257.5 mph

332.5 mph

The amount of money Sally earns, P, varies directly with the number, n, of necklaces she sells. When Sally sells 15 necklaces, s

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Equation: $P = 10n$

$P = 40$ when n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Direct Variation: P ∝ n

When n = 15, P = 150

Required

Determine the equation

Her earnings if she sold 4 necklaces

P ∝ n

Convert variation to equation

$P = kn$

When P = 150, n = 15 (Substitute these values in the given equation)

$150 = k * 15$

Divide both sides by 15

$\frac{150}{15} = \frac{k * 15}{15}$

$10 = k\\k = 10$

Substitute k = 10 in $P = kn$

$P = 10 * n$

$P = 10n$ ------- Equation that relates P and n

When she sold 4 necklaces, n = 4

Substitute n = 4 in the formula above

$P = 10 * 4$

$P = 40$

Jeff is a bird watcher. Every year in the first week of spring, he visits the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania. Last year

erma4kov [3.2K]

If the values are accurate there will be <span>84 Turkish vultures, 14 bald eagles, 28 northern goshawks, and 49 red-tailed hawks.
Jeff's observation accounted for 25 total birds. 175/25 is 7. Multiply the original values by 7 to get an estimate of the total birds in the sanctuary this year.
