like with sound - the further away you are, the lower the volume of the sound (as the sound volume is the indicator of the amplitude of a sound wave, or the brightness of a light is the indicator of the amplitude of a light wave).

the same for any other type of wave (like the seismic wave of an earthquake).

so, the larger the distance, normally the smaller the amplitude.

22. One kilometer is approximately 0.62 mile. What fraction represents this length?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

One kilometer is $\frac{31}{50}$ miles

Explanation:

To convert a decimal to a fraction:

1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1

2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point

3- Simplify the fraction you have

Now, for the given problem:

The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:

Step 1:

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}$

Step 2:

We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}$

Step 3:

We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:

$\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}$

Hope this helps :)

one-gallon jugs of water are shipped in cartons containing 12 jugs. how many cartons are needed for 876 jugs to be shipped?

lana66690 [7]

My best guess is that 73 cartons are needed. Here's how:

876/12 ( because the jugs are shipped in cartons containing 12) = 73

This is just a guess, I'm sorry if someone proves me wrong, but this is what I have.
