1 answer:
Answer:
Total weight of gravel on the roof =
Step-by-step Explanation:
The area Adams planned to cover with gravel can be divided into 3 rectangles as shown in the diagram attached.
We would have 3 rectangles. See the attachment below to check out how we arrive at the dimensions of the 3 rectangles.
Area of rectangle = L*W
Area to be covered by gravel = area of rectangle 1 + area of rectangle 2 + area of rectangle 3
Area to be covered with gravel =
Total weight of gravel on the roof = 12 pounds per square foot multiplied by total area of the roof to be covered =

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.
We will see that the bacteria is<em> 300 times larger than the virus.</em>
We know that:
The diameter of the virus-cell is:
The diameter of the bacteria cell is:
So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to <u>compare the numbers</u>.
Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus <u>the bacteria should be the larger one.</u>
But let's prove this with math, remember the property:
Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the <u>diameter of the bacteria in the numerator</u>, thus <u>if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.</u>
So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.
