Daniel [21]2 years ago

4 0

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.

The 32 students in Ms.Byrd's art class made a project with construction paper. Eleven students used red construction paper, 8 st

Mice21 [21]

Answer: The correct answer is C. 13/32

Step-by-step explanation: There are 32 students, and 11 + 8 = 19. SO in order to figure out how many students used blue, we need to subtract 19 from 32. that gives us 13. So:

13 out of 32 students, or

13/32

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2l+2w, where l represents the length and w represents the width. What is

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Replace l with 110 and w with 120

P = 2(110) + 2(120)

P = 220 + 240

P = 460 feet

a local high schools cheerleading squad is selling snow cones during lunch to raise money for a national cheerleading competitio

svlad2 [7]

We have:

Volume of cone = 535 cm³ at the maximum
Height of cone= 8cm

We know the formula to find volume of cone is $\frac{1}{3} r^{2} \pi h$

We need to find the radius of the base of the cone
$535= \frac{\pi r^{2}8} {3}$
$535*8= \pi r^{2}$
$\frac{4280}{\pi}= r^{2}$
$r= \sqrt{ \frac{4280}{ \pi} }$
$r=36.9$ to the nearest one decimal place

The width of the opening of the cone is the diameter of the circle. Diameter is twice the radius, hence 2×36.9=73.8 cm

The slope of the line whose equation is x-3y= 1 is 0-3 -1/3 0 0 1/3

insens350 [35]

x-3y= 1

The equation needs to be rewritten in proper Slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

x-3y = 1

Subtract x from each side:

-3y = 1-x

Divide both sides by -3:

y = 1/-3 - x/-3

Simplify:

y = 1/3x - 1/3

The slope is 1/3
