According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the blue whale is the largest animal on Earth. Blue whales wei

gh approximately 3×105 pounds. Narwhals, which are also a type of whale, weigh approximately 2×103 pounds. How many times heavier is the blue whale's weight than the narwhal's weight?

Answer: The blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Weight of Blue whale = 3\times10^5\text{ pounds}

Weight of Narwhal = 2\times10^3\text{ pounds}

Number of times blue whale's weight  is heavier than the narwhal's weight = =\dfrac{\text{Weight of Blue whale}}{\text{Weight of Narwhal }}

=\dfrac{3\times10^5}{2\times10^3}\\\\=1.5\times10^{5-3}\ \ \ [\dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\\=1.5\times10^2\\\\=1.5\times100=150

Hence, the blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.

What is 35 percent of 70
11111nata11111 [884]
35 Percent of 70 is 24.5
We assume, that the number 70 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 70 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70=100%. We know, that x is 35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35%. <span>Now we have two simple equations: 1.)70=100% 2.)x=35%</span>where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that: 70/x=100%/35% Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest tenth.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The Perimeter of the Figure to the nearest tenth is 18.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Please note I have attached an edited version of your sketch to aid my solution. Now this question can be solved in multiple ways. Here, we shall see one of them. Looking at the original sketch, we can see that the figure is actually a combination of a Triangle (Figure 1 in my sketch) and a rectangle (Figure 2 in my sketch). So we can simply find the sides of a Triangle and the sides of a Rectangle and add them. Perimeter on Figure 1:The Perimeter of a Triangle is given by the Sum of the three sides as:

AT=a+b+c

Perimeter on Sketched Figure:The perimeter of the total figure will be two sides of the triangle and the three sides of the rectangle (as the one adjacent between Fig. 1 and 2 can not be taken into account). Thus we need to find 5 different sides and add them together. Now since the figure is on a graph paper, we can read of the size of some sides, thus the left side of the triangle is  units and the base of the triangle is also  units. Now to find the last unknown side we can take Pythagorian theorem, since our triangle is a Right triangle, (i.e. one angle is 90°). Pythagoras states that the squared of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs of the triangle (where the hypotenuse side is always across the 90° angle. So here we can say that: where  is the hypotenuse and our unknown side. So plugging in values and solving for   we have: units.

Perimeter on Figure 2:

The Perimeter of the Rectangle is given by:

Ar=2(w+l)

Answer:

Probability of event E = (4/10) = 0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that n(E) is the number of outcomes in E

n(S) is the number of outcomes in S

And with each outcome having equal likelihood of occurring,

SetS = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

n(S) = 10

Event E = {1, 4, 7, 9}.

n(E) = 4

Probability of event E = n(E)/n(S)

Probability of event E = (4/10) = 0.40

Hope this Helps!!
