We are given : The mass of a grain of sand =
Bag contains = 10 kilograms of sand.
Let us concert 10 kg into grams first.
1 kg = 1000 grams.
10 kg = 10 × 1000 = 10000 grams = 10^4.
Therefore, bag contains 10^4 grams of sand.
Therefore, number of grains of sand are in the bag of sand of 10^4 grams =
The mass of a grain of sand in grams ÷ The mass of a grain of sand.
=
=
Therefore, grains of sand are in the bag of 10kg sand.
In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?
Answer:
325,452 meteors
Step-by-step explanation:
We all know that :
We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes
SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :
365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes
For Perseid meteor:
So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.
x meteor - 525600 minutes.
1.2x = 525600
x = 438000
∴ 438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.
For Leonid meteor shower:
So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.
x meteors - 525600 minutes.
x = 112548
112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.
Finally , the numbers of more meteors that fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e
438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452
325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = {9, 10, 11}
x = {2, 3, 4 , 5}
Maximum value of x + y = 11 + 5 = 16
Minimum value of y -x = 9 - 2 = 7
