Answer:

a) 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³ or 1.8 × 10^-12 cubic meters

b) 7.1 × 10^-6 mm² or 7.1 × 10^-6 square millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We are assuming that the shape of the bacteria is a sphere.

Hence, Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³

Diameter = 1.5 μm

Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2

= 0.75μm

We are told that the volume should be in cubic centimeters

Converting 0.75μm to centimeters

1 μm = 1 × 10^-4 cm

0.75 μm =

Cross Multiply

= 0.75 μm × 1 × 10^-4 cm/ 1 μm

= 0.000075cm

Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³

= 4/3 × π × (0.000075)³

= 1.767145867 × 10^-12 cm³

Approximately as 2 significant figures = 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³

b) The formula for the Surface area of a Sphere = 4πr²

Diameter = 1.5 μm

Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2

= 0.75μm

We are told that the surface area should be in square millimeters

Converting 0.75μm to millimeters

1 μm = 0.001 mm

0.75 μm =

Cross Multiply

= 0.75 μm ×0.001mm/ 1 μm

= 0.00075mm

Surface Area of a Sphere

= 4 × π × r²

= 4 × π × 0.00075²

= 7.06858 ×10^-6 mm²

Approximately to 2 significant figures

= 7.1 × 10^-6 mm²

Answer:

7 small pillows.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's get rid of the whole parts of fractions -> 1 3/4=7/4, 12 1/4=49/4

2. To find how many pillows she can make divide the available fabric by the amount needed -> (49/4)/(7/4)=49/7=7.

Answer:

Heyo. The answer is 60.48

Step-by-step explanation:

This is pretty easy, all you have to do is multiply the length, height, and width. Remember this. LxHxW. Thats is the formula. You do 4.2 cm, multiplied by 3.2 cm, then multiply that by 4.5 cm. Hope this helps! :)
