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:

1 + \frac{1}{5}  \\ \\ = 1 + 0.2 \\  \\ = 1.2

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 = \frac{525600}{1.2}

x = 438000

∴  438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.

For  Leonid meteor shower:

4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67

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.

4.67x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{4.67}

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:

350.82

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, you must add up all of the areas of each shape of the prism in order to get the sum surface area.

The rectangle's area (lw):

7.21*14=100.94

The triangle's area (\frac{1}{2}bh):

\frac{1}{2} (6)(8)

\frac{1}{2} (48)=24

Now add up all the sides. (3 Rectangles, 2 Triangles.)

100.94 + 100.94 + 100.94 + 24 + 24

=350.82

The total surface area is 350.82 cm squared.

sashaice [31]
The dependent variable is the cost of the pizza.

The Independent variable (or what you manipulate) is the toppings of the pizza, and the dependent variable (or what changes because you manipulated something) is the total cost of the pizza
