What is the most useful about mathematics for human kind?

1 answer:

6 0

It's useful so when you go to the grocery store you know how much of whatever you need and you can multiply, divide, and subtract if needed. Without mathematics we wouldn't be able to calculate things. If you're a cashier for example, you need to know how to count change and count the money the person gives you. If you're a customer, you need to know how much to give the cashier and that involves mathematics. I hope this helped!!!

How many seconds will light leaving Los Angeles take to reach the following locations (a) San Francisco (about 500km), (b) Londo

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

c) It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

d) It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can solve this problem by using this following formula:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

In which s is the speed(in km/s), d is the distance(in km) and t is the time(in s).

The light speed is 299 792 458 m / s = 299,792.458 km/s, so $s = 299,792.458$

(a) San Francisco (about 500km)

Find t when $d = 500$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{500}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 500$

$t = \frac{500}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.0017s$

It takes 0.0017s for the light to reach San Francisco.

b) London(about 10,000km)

Find t when $d = 10,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{10,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 10,000$

$t = \frac{10,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 0.033s$

It takes 0.033s for the light to reach London.

(c) the Moon (400,000km)

Find t when $d = 400,000$ . So

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{400,000}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 400,000$

$t = \frac{400,000}{299,792.458}$

$t = 1.334s$

It takes 1.334s for the light to reach Mars.

(d) Venus (0.3 A.U. from Earth at its closest approach).

Each A.U. has 149,59,7871 km.

So 0.3 A.U. = 0.3*(149,597,871) = 44,879,361.3. This means that $d = 44,879,361.3$ . So:

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

$299,792.458 = \frac{44,879,361.3}{t}$

$299,792.458t = 44,879,361.3$

$t = \frac{44,879,361.3}{299,792.458}$

$t = 149.7s$

It takes 149.7s for the light to reach Venus.

There is 12/15 of a pizza left. How many 3/10 pieces can be made from the leftover pizza? Show work please!

Katyanochek1 [597]

How many 1/3 pieces can be made from 2 pizzas, we know it is 6 and it is arrived by dividing 2 by 1/3 or multiplying by its reciprocal 3/1.

Hence to find how many 3/10 pieces can be made from 12/15 pizza, we have to divide 12/15 by 3/10 or multiplying by its reciprocal 10/3, i.e.

12/15 times 10/3= 8/3 or 2 2/3

What does that mean? This means that while 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, 2/3of 3/10 i.e. <span>2/3×3/10=2/10=1/5</span> or one-fifth of pizza will be left out.

So the answer is 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, and one-fifth pizza will be left out.
