Answer: 1.94 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of $100 dollars = 6.14 inches

Lenght of North Carolina = 500 miles long.

Now, in 1 billon = 1,000,000,000

If we divide it by the value of each bill, we will found the number of bills, we have:

N = 1,000,000,000/100 = 10,000,000 bills.

Knowing that each bill is 6.14 inches long, the length of the N bills together is:

6.14in*10,000,000 = 61,400,000 in

Now we need to write this in miles; 63,360 inches is one mile.

Then 61,400,000 in = (61,400,000/63,360) = 969.1 miles.

Now we can find that:

969.1mi/500 mi = 1.94

This means that with 1 billion dollars all in $100 dollar bills we can stretch them 1.94 times along the length of North Carolina.

Ivanna will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an a

natka813 [3]

First, let's make these two into equations.
The first plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.
Our equation would then be
C = 40 + 0.16m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
The second plan has an initial fee of $51 and costs an additional $0.11 per mile driven.
So, the equation is
C = 51 + 0.11m
where C is the total cost, and m is the number of miles driven.
Now, your question seems to be asking for one mileage for both, equalling one cost. I would go through all the steps I've taken to try and find this for you, but it would probably take hours to type out and read. In short, I'm not entirely sure that an answer like that is possible in this situation, simply because of the large difference in the initial fee of the two plans, along with the sparse common multiples between the two mileage costs.

Each side of an equilateral triangle measure 11 centimeters. To the nearest tenth of an centimeter, what is the length of the al

Orlov [11]

The length of the altitude is 9.5 cm.

The altitude bisects the base of the equilateral triangle (this is because the two sides emerging from the vertex are equal). This gives us a right triangle with leg 5.5 and hypotenuse 11. We use the Pythagorean theorem:

5.5² + h² = 11²
30.25 + h² = 121

Subtract 30.25 from both sides:
30.25 + h² - 30.25 = 121 - 30.25
h² = 90.75

Take the square root of both sides:
√h² = √90.75
h = 9.5

Sterile fruit flies are used in an experiment where the proportion that survives at least days is given by . if the experiment b

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

fruit flies at the beginning of the experiment = 200 fruit flies

rate of increase of fruit flies = 5 per hour

to calculate the number of flies after 14 days.

time = 14 days = 14 × 24 = 336 hours

flies after 14 days = initial number of flies + rate of increase × time

= 200 + 5 × 336

= 1880 fruit flies.

hence,Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.
