<span>x/9 = 8/36 </span>
<span>x = 9 * 8/36 [multiplying each side by 9] </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span> </span>
<span>x/90 = 4.4/12 </span>
<span>x = 90 * 4.4/12 [multiplying each side by 90] </span>
<span>x = 33 </span>

<span>Both proportions should be expressed as lemon juice to water, or water to lemon juice. Either way would give a correct answer: </span>
<span>2/7 = j/28 [lemon juice to water] </span>
<span>8 = j [multiplying each side by 28] </span>

<span>7/2 = 28/j [water to lemon juice] </span>
<span>7j = 56 [multiplying each side by 2j] </span>
<span>j = 8 [dividing each side by 7] </span>


<span>The length proportion is 24 in to 32 ft. </span>
<span>The actual house is 24 ft tall. </span>
<span>Let x represent the doll house height, in inches. Then </span>
<span>x/24 = 24/32 </span>
<span>x = 24 * 24/32 = 18 inches</span>

Physicists estimate that there are between 10^78 and 10^82 atoms in the universe. How do these two numbers compare with one anot
Ann [662]

Answer:

These two values show the range of maximum and the minimum possible approximation of the amount of atoms in the universe.

10000 of the small universe will fit into the big universe.

Step-by-step explanation:

These values are a representative of the possible number of atoms in the universe. They both give a range of possible numbers, within which the number of atoms in the universe can be assigned a a particular value. The range is used to indicate that the value cannot be be exactly determined to be a particular exact number.

The two numbers given are

10^82, and 10^78

If the the larger number of 10^82 is correct, we'll have

10^82 ÷ 10^78

==> 10^(82 -78) = 10000 of the small universe will fit into the larger universe.
