Why is it important to include both a number and a unit when describing a measure?

1 answer:

3 0

We need to know the "unit of measure" ( ie metre, gram etc) and

the number of units.

ie 10 (No of Units) Metre (Unit of measure)

I use 3 fifth size strips to model 3/5.I want to use tenth size strips to model an equivalent fraction.How many tenth size strip

Yuri [45]

3/5= 3 fifth size strips
You want to find an equivalent fraction with the denominator of ten, correct? Then you would multiply the fraction in a way that will allow you to have a denominator of ten.
So...
3/5*2/2=6/10
You would need 6 tenth size strips.

Illinois license plates used to consist of either three letters followed by three digits or two letters followed by four digits.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 is 0.000028 approximately.

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI is 0.002548 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Illinois license plates used to consist of either three letters followed by three digits or two letters followed by four digits.

Part (A)

Let A is the ways in which plates consist of three letters followed by three digits and B is the ways in which two letters followed by four digits.

Here repetition is allow. The number of alphabets are 26 and the number of distinct digits are 10.

The numbers of ways in which three letters followed by three digits can be chosen is: $26\times 26\times 26 \times 10 \times 10 \times10$

$26^3\times 10^3=17576000$

The numbers of ways in which two letters followed by four digits can be chosen is: $26\times 26\times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times10$

$26^2\times 10^4=6760000$

Hence, the total number of ways are 17576000 + 6760000 = 24336000

Randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 that means the first two letter can be any alphabets but the rest of the digit should be 2222.

Thus, the total number of ways that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 number are: $26^2=676$

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the number 2222 is:

$\frac{676}{24336000} \approx 0.000028$

Part (B)

The number of ways in which chosen plate contains the sub-string HI:

If three letters followed by three digits plate contains the sub-string HI, then the number of possible ways are:

$26\times 1\times10^3+1\times 26\times10^3$

If two letters followed by four digits plate contains the sub-string HI, then the number of possible ways are:

$1\times 10^4$

Thus, the total number of ways that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI are:

$1\times 10^4+26\times 1\times10^3+1\times 26\times10^3$

$62000$

From part (A) we know that the total number of ways to chose a number plate is 24336000.

The probability that a randomly chosen plate contains the sub-string HI is:

$\frac{62000}{24336000} \approx 0.002548$

A carpenter bought 750 nails. Each nail has a mass of 5.2×10−3 kilogram. What is the total mass, in kilograms, of the nails the

lawyer [7]

The total mass, in kilograms, of the nails the carpenter bought is 3.9 kilogram

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that carpenter bought 750 nails

Each nail has a mass of $5.2 \times 10^{-3}$ kilogram

To find: total mass, in kilograms of the nails bought

The total mass of the nails bought can be found out by multiplying number of nails bought by mass of each nail

Number of nails bought = 750

Mass of each nail = $5.2 \times 10^{-3}$ kilogram

total mass of the nails bought = number of nails bought x mass of each nail

$\text {total mass of the nails bought }=750 \times 5.2 \times 10^{-3}$

$\text {total mass of the nails bought }=3900 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{3900}{1000}=3.9$

Thus the total mass of nails bought is 3.9 kilogram
