After clarification we see the respective diameters are
We're asked about the ratio
Now we can go through the choices.
A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.
It would be more proper to say the diameter of cell A is 100 times the diameter of cell B, but yes, this is TRUE.
B. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 100 times greater than cell a.
FALSE. 10 to the minus 4 is 100 times bigger than 10 to the minus 6, so a is bigger.
C. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 2 times greater than cell b.
FALSE. We already calculated its 100 times bigger.
D. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 2 times greater than cell a.
FALSE.
True.
If the clock loses 1 second every hour that passes then after 4 hours it will be 4 seconds off, 5 hours will be 5 seconds off, etc. It would continue and turn into minutes and hours off.
Answer:
21.6 or 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles have same angles. This means that they are proportion.
50/27 = 40/x
when you cross multiply to solve x, 50x = 1080
so x = 21.6
If you have to nearest whole number, it will be 22
Answer:
c correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 91 1/6 gallons
b) 2502 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...
(261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal
We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:
a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)
Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get
1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal
It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.
___
b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.
(miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)
Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...
(18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi
139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
