A student wants to know the approximate distance between London and Beijing. Using a string, she finds that the distance on a gl

obe between London and Beijing is about 36 centimeters and between London and New York is about 22 centimeters. The actual distance between London and New York is about 5000 kilometers. If she lets d represent the approximate distance in kilometers between London and Beijing, what is d rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer:

8182 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

A correct proportion to use is 22 over 5,000 = 36 over d

Cross multiply to get 22d = 5,000 x 36. Then, solve d. d = 8181.81.......so the approximate distance rounded to the nearest whole number from London to Beijing is 8182 kilometers.

Hope This Is Right.....

Answer: 8182

Step-by-step explanation: a good proportion to use is 22 over 5000= 36 over the mystery number.( in this case, we will use D). then we cross multiply 22xd=5000x36. then we solve for D which is about 8181.81. therefore the rounded answer is 8182.

hope this was helpful!

For the first question, all you need to know is that the (amount you want) divided by (the amount of cards total) is the probability of getting the amount you want at random. for example, if there are 3 red marbles in a bag of ten marbles, you divide 3 by 10 (0.30) the probability of picking up a red marble is 30%. try adding up how many cards you want to pick up by the number of cards total.

What is 2,871,000,000 in scientific notation
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

2.871*10^9

Step-by-step explanation:

add a decimal point at the end of the number ( 2,871,000,000.) then count how many places it takes to move the decimal point between the first and second number (2.8) then write the rest of the numbers higher than "0" after, giving you the 2.871

to show that the number written is in scientific notation you add 10 to the power of the amount of times you moved the decimal place. In this case, because the decimal point was moved a total of 9 times, it would be 10 to the 9th power (10^9).
