Answer: 2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The monkeys eat 3 ²/₃ buckets of bananas each day. Convert this to an improper fraction:

= 3²/₃ = 11/3 buckets per day

The zookeeper bought 7¹/₃ which is:

= 22/3 buckets

To find out the number of days the bananas will last, divide the buckets bought by the buckets eaten per day:

= 22/3 ÷ 11/3

= 22/3 * 3/11

= 66/33

= 2 days

<em>If dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </em>

Isabelle ordered 3 flower arrangements to send to her sisters. Each arrangement, weighs 6 2/3 pounds. What was the total weight
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the weight of each flower arrangement (each one weighs 6 2/3 pounds) and the total number of flower arrangaments Isabelle ordered (3 flower arrangements).

To make the calculus easier, we can rewrite the mixed number 6 2/3 as a decimal number:

Divide the numerator 2 by the denominator 3 and add the result to the whole number 6:

(6+0.666)lb=6.666lb

If 1 arrangement weighs 6.666 pounds, the total weigth of 3 arrangements can be calculated by multiplying 6.666 pounds by 3:

weight_{(total)}=(6.666lb)(3)\\weight_{(total)}=20lb

Write an equation for the orbit of Saturn in the form x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
frozen [14]

Answer:

  x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the semi-axes and the eccentricity of an ellipse is ...

  e = √(1 -b²/a²)

In order to write the desired equation we need to find 'b' from 'e' and 'a'.

__

<h3>semi-minor axis</h3>

Squaring the equation for eccentricity gives ...

  e² = 1 -b²/a²

Solving for b², we have ...

  b²/a² = 1 -e²

  b² = a²(1 -e²)

<h3>ellipse equation</h3>

Using the given values, we find ...

  b² = 1472²(1 -0.056²) = 2166784(0.996864) ≈ 2159989

The desired equation is ...

  x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1
