In the Inca civilization what was the quipo used for?

1 answer:

5 0

It involved knots in strings called quipu. The quipu was not a calculator, rather it was a storage device. Remember that the Incas had no written records and so the quipu played a major role in the administration of the Inca empire since it allowed numerical information to be kept.

Answer:

Rock

Explanation:

Let's calculate the density of each object:

Rock:

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{8.5\ g}{4.5\ mL}=1.9\ g/mL$

Pencil:

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{2.4\ g}{4.5\ mL}=0.53\ g/mL$

Therefore the rock is denser.

You weigh a 24K gold chain and find that it weighs 400 grams. Determine home many moles of gold atoms you have

makkiz [27]

Answer:

2.03 moles of Gold

Explanation:

Gold is one of the most precious metal metal used in many applications and mainly as a jewellery. In terms of purity it is categorized in Karats. 24 Karat is considered the purest Gold (i.e. 100 % Gold) while other Karats (14, 18, 22 e.t.c) are alloys with other metals and gyms.

Data Given:

Mass of Gold = 400 g

A.Mass of Gold = 196.97 g.mol⁻¹

Calculate Moles of Gold as,

Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

Moles = 400 g ÷ 196.97 g.mol⁻¹

Moles = 2.03 moles of Gold

Convert the scientific notation to a decimal number. Type the correct answer in the box. 4 × 10-5 cm = cm

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm$

Explanation:

Given

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = [\ ]cm$

Required

Solve

Apply law of indices

$4 * \frac{1}{10^5}cm = [\ ]cm$

Evaluate 10^5

$4 * \frac{1}{100000}cm = [\ ]cm$

$4 * 0.00001cm = [\ ]cm$

$0.00004cm = [\ ]cm$

Hence:

$4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm$
