Answer:

Assuming that the longest blue whale on record  was about 18 scuba divers in length and a scuba diver is 6 feet length, we want to estimate the length of the whale.

Length of the whale = 18*6

You can multiply mentally by  using compensation. Substitute a number for 18 that is easy  to multiply.

20*6 = 120

Now adjust. Subtract 2 groups of 6, or 12.

120 - 12 = 108

and that is the length of the whale in feet

Simplify (92 – 3 × 7) ÷ (7 – 3)
Illusion [34]

Answer:

17 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: (92 - 3*7)/(7-3)

PEMDAS so parenthesis first. Then multiplication so 7 times 3 is 21. For 7 minus 3 would be four. Like this: (92-21)/4

Subtraction: 71/4

Answer: 17 3/4

If log10 y = 2. what does y equal?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

log_{10}  (100) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

log_{10}  (y) = 2

Now, by logarithm rules, we know

if  log_{b}(x) = z

, then x =b^{z}

Comparing here, b = 10  and  z = 2

⇒ y  =   10^{2}  = 100

or, log_{10}  (100) = 2

8. complementary angles = 90°
3x+3+10x-4 = 90
13x-1 = 90
13x = 91
so x = 91/13= 7
then K = 3(7)+3 = 24°
so L = 10(7)-4 = 70-4 = 66°

9. P is three less than twice of Q
so P = 2Q-3
supplementary angles = 180°

P+Q = 180
(2Q-3)+Q = 180
3Q-3 = 180
3Q = 183
so Q = 183/3 = 61°
then P= 2(61)-3 = 122-3 = 119°

10. B is two more than three times of C so B= 3C+2
complementary angles = 90°

B+C= 90
(3C+2)+C=90
4C+2=90
4C= 88
so C= 22°
then B = 3(22)+2= 66+2 = 68°

A light bulb consumes 960 watt hours per day how long does it take to consume 4320 watt hours
VARVARA [1.3K]

Since we need to determine how long it takes for the watt hours to consume 4320 watt hours, we would need to divide.

We would simply divide.

4320/950= 4.5

The 4.5 represents how long it would take for the light bulb to consume 4320 watt hours.

Therefore, the answer would be 4.5 days.

<u>Answer</u>

4.5 days

<u>Recap</u>

1. We read the problem and determined that in order to solve the problem we would need to divide.

2. We then divided 4320/960= 4.5

3. We came to the conclusion that 4.5 days would be the answer.
