Answer:

65.57

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1</u><u>:</u>

\frac{y}{79} :\frac{17}{100}

y · 100 = 17 · 79

100y = 1343

100y ÷ 100 = 1343 ÷ 100

y = 13.43

79 - 13.43

65.57

<u>Method 2</u><u>:</u>

100% - 17% = 83%

\frac{y}{79} :\frac{83}{100}

y · 100 = 83 · 79

100y = 6557

100y ÷ 100 = 6557 ÷ 100

y = 65.57

The radius of Earth is about 3960 miles. The radius of the moon is about 1080 miles. a. Find the surface area of Earth and the m
Molodets [167]

A) The formula for surface area of a sphere is A = 4*PI*r^2

using 3.14 for PI:

Surface area for Earth = 4 * 3.14 x 3960^2 = 196,960,896 miles^2

Surface area of the moon: 4 * 3.14 * 1080^2 = 14,649,984 miles^2

B)Divide the Surface of the Earth by the moon:

196,960,896 / 14,649,984 = 13.44

The Earths surface is 13.4 times larger than the moon.

C) Multiply the surface of the Earth by 70%:

196,960,896 * 0.70 = 137,872,627.2 million square miles of water.

Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = Five tenths

and

0.05 = five hundredths

This is because 0.5 is like 50 cents and 0.05 is like 5 cents

The rest are wrong because A: 0.05 simply can't be bigger than 0.5

B is wrong because they aren't equal to each other

and D is wrong because 0.05 + 0.5 = 0.55
