Answer:

1.65 X 10^-3 (i don't know if your teacher wants you to also add the unit at the end, but if your teacher does, then just add metric ton at the end. :-) )

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to bring the decimal point to the right of the first number, so you move the decimal point 3 times to the right, which would give you 1.65 metric ton.

So you should know that moving a decimal point to the right would make the power negative, and moving the decimal point to the left would make the power positive.

In this situation, the power would be negative, and a negative three, because you moved the decimal point 3 times to the right.

Hope this helped :-) <3

20 = –d + 16 –4 –6 4 –10

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

d=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

20 = –d + 16

Subtract 16 from each side

20-16 = –d + 16-16

4 = -d

Multiply each side by -1

-1 *4 = -1 * -d

-4 =d

Mark is flying a kite and realizes that 300 feet of string is out. Mark anchored the kite to the ground. The angle of the string

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The kite is 202.7 feet above the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is depictedd in the picture attached

we have to find the height.

Trigonometric ratios will be used to find the height.

So,

$sin\ (42.5) = \frac{h}{300}\\ 0.6756=\frac{h}{300}\\0.6756*300=h\\202.68 = h$

The height is 202.68 feet

Rounding off to the nearest tenth

202.7 feet

Therefore, the kite is 202.7 feet above the ground ..

Can you please help me out

Taya2010 [7]

The bag contains,

Red (R) marbles is 9, Green (G) marbles is 7 and Blue (B) marbles is 4,

Total marbles (possible outcome) is,

$\text{Total marbles = (R) + (G) +(B) = 9 + 7 + 4 = 20 marbles}$

Let P(R) represent the probablity of picking a red marble,

P(G) represent the probability of picking a green marble and,

P(B) represent the probability of picking a blue marble.

Probability , P, is,

$\text{Prob, P =}\frac{required\text{ outcome}}{possible\text{ outcome}}$ $\begin{gathered} P(R)=\frac{9}{20} \\ P(G)=\frac{7}{20} \\ P(B)=\frac{4}{20} \end{gathered}$

Probablity of drawing a Red marble (R) and then a blue marble (B) without being replaced,

That means once a marble is drawn, the total marbles (possible outcome) reduces as well,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Prob of a red marble P(R) =}\frac{9}{20} \\ \text{Prob of }a\text{ blue marble =}\frac{4}{19} \\ \text{After a marble is selected without replacement, marbles left is 19} \\ \text{Prob of red marble + prob of blue marble = P(R) + P(B) = }\frac{9}{20}+\frac{4}{19}=\frac{251}{380} \\ \text{Hence, the probability is }\frac{251}{380} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the best option is G.
