Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Cos 300 = Cos ( 360 - 60)
= Cos 60
As a number, half-gallon can be represented as 0.5.
In order to answer this question we will define each term:
whole numbers are numbers that can be defined as a <span>number without fractions which are greater or equal than 0. E.g. 2 0 1 5 6 85
</span>
integer numbers are numbers that can be defined as a number without fractions but which can be either equal to 0 or greater and lower than 0
E.g. -9 -68 8 0 59
rational numbers are any number that<span> can be expressed as a fraction p/q of two integers E.g. 0.5 = 1/2 1 = 1/1 1.25 = 5/4
</span>
irrational numbers are those which have an approximate value E.g. pi = 3.14...
√2 = 1.41.....
real numbers are all of the above
From all those kind of choices the most accurate representation is rational numbers.
Just measure the width (or height, if you'll be stacking the pennies
a mile high) of a penny, then divide 5280 feet by whatever you find.
This is a great activity for a class, and in fact a good way to start
the project. First take one penny, and work out an answer. Then get
100 pennies, and measure them; do the same calculation to see how many
pennies it will take to make a mile. There will probably be a
difference, because you can measure 100 pennies more accurately than a
single penny. Or maybe you have a micrometer that will measure one
penny precisely. Which is better can be a good discussion starter. And
don't forget to try it in metric, too.
Just to illustrate, using a very rough estimate of a penny's width,
let's say a penny is about 3/4 inch wide. The number of pennies in a
mile will be
5280 ft 12 in 1 penny
1 mile * ------- * ----- * ------- = 5280 * 12 * 4/3 pennies
1 mi 1 ft 3/4 in
This gives about 84,480 pennies. (This method of doing calculations
with units is very helpful, and would be worth teaching.)
If we measure 100 pennies as 6 ft 1 in, we will get
5280 ft 100 pennies
1 mile * ------- * ----------- = 5280 * 100 * 12 / 73 pennies
1 mi 6 1/12 ft
This gives us 86794.5205 pennies in a mile.
