Answer:

Two things we need to remember:

Speed of light = c = 299,792,458 m / s

This means that the light in one second covers a distance of 299,792,458 m

And for a circle of radius R, the is:

C = 2*pi*R

where:

pi = 3.14

Then if the radius of the earth is 6,378.1 km, then the of the earth is:

C = 2*(3.14)*6,378.1 km = 40,054.468 km

And we know that 1 km = 1000m

Then the circumference of the earth is:

C = (40,054.468*1000) m = 40,054,468 m

Now we need to see how many times the light can encircle the earth per second. (we assume that the light can move in a circular path, this is not really accurate to the reality)

We know that in one second the light can cover a distance of:  299,792,458 m

And the circumference of the earth is: 40,054,468 m

The quotient between these two distances is the number of times that the light can encircle the earth:

N = (299,792,458 m)/(40,054,468 m)  = 7.5

So light could encircle the earth 7.5 times per second.

Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75%
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

In Adam's expression, d represents the original price of the game. 0.75d represents 75% of the original price; this is the amount of the discount, since everything is 75% off.  Taking the difference of the original price and the discount, d-0.75d, gives us the total price of the game. In Rena's expression, 0.25 represents 25%.  This is because taking 75% off of the price means we still pay 100-75 = 25% of the original price. Multiplying the original price, d, by the 0.25, gives us 25% of the original price; this is the total price.
