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

If a copier contains 60% letter-size paper and 40% legal-size paper, what is the ratio of letter-size paper to legal-size paper?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The ratio is 3/2 or 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the ratio of letter-size paper to legal-size paper, divide the percentage of letter-size paper by the percentage of legal-size paper

so

\frac{60}{40}

Simplify

\frac{60}{40}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}

therefore

The ratio is 3/2 or 3:2

Answer:

x = -26

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by the lowest common multiple of 4 and 3, which is 12.

3(x+2) = 4(x+8)

3x + 6 = 4x + 32 --- distribute the 4 and 3

6 = x + 32 --- subtract 3x from both sides

-26 = x --- subtract 32 from both sides

x = -26
