If I were stranded on an island and could only have one item. I would want a yacht.
Answer:
86.7%.
Explanation:
Considering the diagram, the path of the tip of the blades is a circle.
Hence, determine the circumference of the circle.
C = 2πr = 2π * 3 ft = 6π ft.
Then determine how long the blade edges are all together.
6 in * 5 blades = 30 inches
Therefore, to determine the fraction of the circumference of 30 inches, convert circumference to inches
6π ft * (12 in ÷ 1 ft) = 72π in.
Hence, the probability of Gerald’s randomly timed shot hitting a blade of the windmill
=> 30 ÷ 72π
=> 30 ÷ [72 * (22/7)]
= 13.3%.
Finally, the probability of his shot getting past the blades is then 100 – 13.3 = 86.7%.
There are many benefits that come with diversifying a retirement account with gold or Bitcoins (or other cryptocurrencies).
Gold is an extremely reliable and solid way to store money, since it's a way to safeguard possessions by protecting one's buying power/conditions (gold is not affected by devaluation the way regular currencies are).
Bitcoins and other cryptos may also seem as an alternative to regular retirement fund options or even gold, but it ain't (at least for now). Even though cryptocurrencies are still very unstable (monetarily speaking), they are (or were according to some experts) a way to store and easily transfer money anywhere. They are very promising in terms or transfers, safety measures (crypto-exchanges and users can get hacked, but the cryptos themselves operate in a relatively safe way), and even though it may be a way to earn some extra money (through trading/speculation), they are not comparable to gold when it comes to monetary safety (stability); that's why they might be a good investment option but the investor must be extra careful about putting a large portion of their retirement fund into them.
In other words, Gold is mainly reliable and stable (a way to protect you buying power and worry less about inflation/devaluation), and Bitcoins are an opportunity to make more money and a reliable and cheap way to transfer money anywhere
Whitman wanted to express that America is a country constituted by several parts that make a whole that works well. Each individual of the country doing their part is what forms the nation.
A choir is a group of people in which each one has a part to sing that might not be special on their own but form a harmony when they are sung together,
