Answer: 56

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

The diameter of each U.S. penny = $\dfrac{3}{4}$ inch.

The length of the row of pennies = 42 inches

Then , the number of pennies in that row will be :

$=\text{Length of row}\div\text{Diameter of each penny}\\\\=42\div\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=42\times\dfrac{4}{3}\ \ \text{[Flip divisor fraction, multiply the original number by its reciprocal.]}\\\\=56$

Hence, the required number of pennies. = 56

What is 403,000,000,000,000 in scientific

frozen [14]

Answer:

(A) 4.03 x 10^14

Step-by-step explanation:

403,000,000,000,000

Scientific notation is of the form

a * 10 ^b

where a is a number from 1 to a number less than 10

Put the decimal in the number

403,000,000,000,000.

We need to move the decimal 14 places to the left to get the number to be between 1 and 10

4.03000000000000 so the b is 14

Since we moved it to the left b is positive

We can drop the extra zeros at the end (after the last nonzero digit)

4.03 *10^14

Joy is making a fruit salad. For every 2 cups of blueberries that Joy uses in the fruit salad, she uses 3 cups of strawberries.

Igoryamba

Joy will need to use 9 cups of strawberries for 6 cups of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cups of blueberries used for 3 cups of strawberry = 2

Ratio of cups of blueberry to strawberry = 2:3

Joy wants to use 6 cups of blueberries.

Let,

x be the cups of strawberry for 6 cups of blueberries.

Ratio of cups of blueberries to strawberries = 6:x

Using proportion;

Ratio of cups of blueberry to strawberry :: Ratio of cups of blueberries to strawberries

$2:3::6:x$

Product of extreme = Product of mean

$2*x=3*6\\2x=18$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\x=9$

Joy will need to use 9 cups of strawberries for 6 cups of blueberries.
