Harriet works at the Mint, where new coins are made. Old and fake coins are also destroyed there. Harriet has 10 bags of $1 coin

s. All 10 bags contain the same number of coins. Harriet knows that nine bags contain only good coins and that one bag contains only fake coins. The fake coins are all about 0.5 gram short. Harriet has forgotten which bag contains the fake coins.
Harriet has a set of scales for weighing like the ones in the illustration. What is the lowest number of times she can weigh bags on the scales in order to find the bag of fake coins?

4462 mm² in m²
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

0.004462m²

612000m²

0.0482m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion

1mm² = 10^-6m²

4462mm² = x

Cross multiply

1 * x = 4462 * 10^-6

x = 4462 * 10^-6

x = 4.462 * 10^3 * 10^-6

x = 4.462*10^{3-6}

x = 4.462*10^-3

x = 0.004462m²

Hence 4462 mm² in m² is 0.004462m²

0.612 km² in m²

1km² = 10^6m²

0.612km² = y

Cross multiply

1 * y = 0.612 * 10^6

y = 0.612*1,000,000

y = 612000m²

Hence 0.612 km² in m² is 612000m²

482 cm² in m²

1cm² = 0.0001m²

482 cm²  = z

z = 482 * 0.0001

z = 0.0482m²

Hence 482 cm² in m² is 0.0482m²

Determine the y intercept for the following equation y=2x-8
Orlov [11]

Answer: The y-intercept is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple to understand once you memorize the slope intercept formula!

y=mx+b

m stands for the slope which is rise/run

The b is the y-intercept, which is the answer you are looking for! the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis!
