To divide 1/2 by 4, you can treat it as (1/2)/(4/1), and to divide fractions you flip the second fraction and multiply, so:

(1/2)*(1/4)=1/8
So each portion of chocolate was 1/8 pounds.

Compare the surface area-to-volume ratios of the moon and mars. express your answer using two significant figures.

antoniya [11.8K]

we know that

For a spherical planet of radius r, the volume V and the surface area SA is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3} *\pi *r^{3} \\ \\ SA=4*\pi *r^{2}$

The
ratio of these two quantities may be written as

$SAV =\frac{(4*\pi*r^{2})}{(\frac{4}{3}*\pi*r^{3})} \\ \\ SAV =\frac{3}{r}$

we know

$rMoon=1,738Km\\ rMars=3,397 Km$

$\frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3}{rMoon} *\frac{rMars}{3} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{rMars}{rMoon} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =\frac{3,397}{1,738} \\ \\ \frac{SAV Moon}{SAV Mars} =1.9545$

therefore

the answer is

$1.9$

The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is $258.75\ in^3$ .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

$Volume = Length\times height\times width$

Substitute all given value in above formula.

$258.75 = (h-4)\times h\times 3$

Rewrite the equation as:

$258.75 = 3h(h-4)$

$258.75 = 3h^2-12h$

$3h^2-12h-258.75=0$

whole equation divided by 3.

$h^2-4h-86.25=0$

Use quadratic formula with $a = 1, b = -4,c=-86.25$

$h=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

$h=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-86.25)}}{2(1)}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+345}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{361}}{2}$

$h=\frac{4\pm 19}{2}$

For positive sign

$h=\frac{23}{2}$

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

$h=\frac{-15}{2}$

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in

What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (−2, 1) , (−2, 4) , (2, 7) , (6, 4) , and (6, 1) ?

alekssr [168]

First we need the distances of the sides of the polygon, because perimeter = sum of all sides.
$d = \sqrt{{(y2 - y1)}^{2} + {(x2 - x1)}^{2} }$
$d1 = \sqrt{{(1 - 4)}^{2} + {( - 2 - - 2)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9} \: = 3$
$d2 = \sqrt{{(4 - 7)}^{2} + {( - 2 - 2)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {( -4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9 + 16} \\ = \sqrt{25} \: = 5$
$d3 \: = \sqrt{{(7 - 4)}^{2} + {(2 - 6)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{{(3)}^{2} + {( - 4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9 + 16} \\ = \sqrt{25} \: = 5$
$d4 = \sqrt{{(4 - 1)}^{2} + {(6 - 6)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(3)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9} \: = 3$
$d5 = \sqrt{{(1 - 1)}^{2} + {(-2 - 6)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(0)}^{2} + {( - 4)}^{2}} = \sqrt{16} \: = 4$
Now, we add all sides for the perimeter:
p = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5
p = 3+5+5+3+4 = 20 units
