12. The geographic grid apportions the globe into hemispheres of 180 lines of longitude. Based on your knowledge of basic geomet

ry, what portion of a sphere does 180 degrees equal? __________________ The grid also defines so-called "central meridians" centered on every 15 degrees of longitude. How many central meridians would there be for a complete sphere? ________________________ Compare this answer to the number of hours in a day. How does it compare?

Answer:

For the first question, 180 degrees equals to a half of the sphere. For the second question, you need 24 central meridians for a complete sphere, which are exactly the hours in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sphere is basically a 3D circle. As a circle has 360 degrees, 180 degrees would be half of a circle. Imagine you are on a satellite over the north pole or the south pole and you have a way to cut the earth by the middle. You will get two halves of sphere.

About the second question, you may need to have in mind that a day is the time spent for the earth to rotate all 360 degrees over its own axis. British fellow, on XIX century, decided they were the center of the world. As previously, back in the days, some other people decided a day had 24 hours, they decided to draw this lines and divide the earth in 24 pieces, so they could knew which time was on every point their extense kingdom had.  As I said, a circle has 360 degrees, (360 degrees)/(24 hours) equals to 15 degrees.

Answer:

<h2>(4x + 3) + (-2x + 4) = 2x + 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x + 3) + (-2x + 4)

= 4x + 3 - 2x + 4         <em>combine like terms</em>

= (4x - 2x) + (3 + 4)

= 2x + 7

15PTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!<br> (dont write random answers pls!)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

to find the answer, you need to find the measure of the angle on the other side of the 142. and since it's a straight line, those two angles measures are =to 180 (they're supplementary angles). so the measure of that angle is 38 degrees. to find the measure of the remaining angle, you subtract the angle measures you already know from 180 (because the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180.) to, the answer is:

180-90-38= 52 degrees or A

Jack use the place value chart below to show 1,826.5. Jack divided 1,826.5 by a number to get a quotient of 18.265 which he wrot
Annette [7]

Answer:

<h3>100</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number we are looking for be x. If Jack divided 1,826.5 by the number to get a quotient of 18.265, to get the number we will solve the equation;

1,826.5/x = 18.265

Cross multiply

1826.5 = 18.265x

Divide both sides by 18.265

18.265x = 1826.5

18.265x/18.625 = 1826.5/18.625

x =  100

Hence Jack divide 1,826.5 by 100 to get a quotient of 18.265

Howhowhow?how??? how would you calculate
Liula [17]

Ok sooooooooooo

Lets say your two fractions are

13/26 and 20/40

you can divide the bottom number by the top one and if you get the same answer for both then they are equivalent. For these you get 2 for both, which means they are equivalent.

another example would be if your fractions are

2/5 and 4/10

You can say well 2*2 equals 4 And 5*2 equals ten so these are equivalent fractions.
