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

aniked [119]

Answer:

a = 33 degrees, b = 147 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, and to solve for the angle on the other side of 109 degrees is 71 degrees, so to solve for a, have 180 minus 71 and 76. Then the sum of 71 and 76 is angle b since its the result of a subtracting from 180.

Nady [450]
<span>you can solve all quadratic equations using this method:
---
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=4, and c=4
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
1 4 4
into this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
this quadratic has ONE real root (the x-intercept), which is:
x = -2
x = -2
