Importance should be given to all the information’s already given in the question.Number of fossils that Elmer has = 300
Percentage of snail shell fossils = 21%
Then
Number of snail shell fossils that Elmer has = (21/100) * 300
= 21 * 3
= 63
So Elmer has 63 snail shell fossils.I hope the procedure is absolutely clear to you and the answer is also correct. Following this procedure it will be possible for you to solve such question with ease in future.

There are three different cubes such that the first cube is 64 times the volume of the second, and the volume of the second cube

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio between the volumes of the first and the second cube is 64, the ratio between the sides is the cubic root of the ratio between the volumes, so:

$V1 / V2 = 64$

$s1 / s2 = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4$

Doing the same for the second and third cubes, we have:

$V2 / V3 = 1/27$

$s2/ s3 = \sqrt[3]{1/27} = 1/3$

So the ratio of the first cube side and the third cube side is:

$s1 / s3 = (s1/s2) * (s2/s3) = 4 * (1/3) = 4/3$

What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a pentagon?

jek_recluse [69]

Hi,

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with x sides is equal to (x-2) times 180 degrees. A pentagon has got 5 sides, so the sum of the measures of its interior angles is 180(5-2) = 180(3) = 540 degrees.

I hope this helps. If I was not clear enough or if you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
