Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

How many orders of magnitude bigger is 23,000 than 56?
Daniel [21]

Orders of Magnitude are in terms of scientific notation.

23,000 written in scientific notation is 2.3 x 10^4, it's magnitude is 4 ( the number 10 is raised to)

56 in scientific notation would be 5.6 x 10^1, its magnitude is 1.

4 - 1 = 3

2300 is 3 order of magnitudes larger.

The answer is 3.

Jane needs to buy mulch to cover a circular garden
scoray [572]

Answer:

$3089.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is a locus of a point such that its distance from a point known as the center is always constant.

The area of a circle is given by the formula:

Area = πr²; where r is the radius of the circle.

From the image attached, we can see that the garden is circular with a radius of 5.5 yard. Hence:

Amount of mulch needed to cover garden = area of garden = πr² = π(5.5)²  = 95 yd²

Since mulch cost $32.52 per square yard, hence:

Cost of mulch needed = $32.52 per yd² * 95 yd² = $3089.4
