Answer:

The area of the Iris is 4 times greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to realize that we cannot solve this problem without knowing the radius of the iris. because from the information given, the radius of the iris could well be the size of the galaxy and contract from width of 4mm to 2mm and we wouldn't know!

The average radius of the iris is 6mm, so we take this value.

Now, initially the width of the iris is 4mm, that means the radius of the pupil is:

6mm-4mm=2mm

Therefore it's area A is:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (2)^2=4\pi

When the iris contracts to 2mm, the radius of the pupil becomes:

6mm-2mm=4mm

Then it's area is A:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (4)^2=16\pi

To find how many times greater this final area is than the initial area, we just divide it by the initial area:

\frac{16\pi }{4\pi } =4

This is 4 times greater than the initial area.

How many 0.3's would it take to make 3? Explain your reasoning. ​
grin007 [14]
10. Since it you want to find how many 0.3s it would take to make 3, you would divide 3 by 0.3 or move the decimal over one spot to the right making it 10.
