Karl is making a pot of chili. The recipe calls for 3/8 cup of chili powder, but Karl only wants to use half as much so it won’t
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Recipe's requirement : 3/8 cups

Karl wants to use half : 1/2

The given question involves fractions. When the number of cups has to be divided into half, it will be multiplied with 1/2.

So,

Multiplying the chili powder requirement of the recipe to 1/2

=\frac{3}{8} * \frac{1}{2}\\= \frac{3}{16}

Hence,

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Answer:

6.85 × 10⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of scientific notation is for scientists to write very large, or very small, numbers with ease.

Calculating scientific notation for a positive integer is simple, as it always follows this notation:

a x 10b

Follow the steps below to see how 68,500,000 is written in scientific notation.

Step 1

To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

Original Number: 68,500,000

New Number: 6.8500000

Step 2

Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

New Number:6.8500000Decimal Count:1234567

There are 7 places to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3

Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation.

Remember, the notation is: a x 10b

a = 6.85 (Please notice any zeroes on the end have been removed)

b = 7

Now the whole thing:

6.85 x 107

Step 4

Check your work:

107 = 10,000,000 x 6.85 = 68,500,000

If a wheel with a radius of 70 inches spins at a rate of 600 revolutions per minute, find the approximate linear velocity in mil
Ainat [17]
This is the concept of speed:
ω=600 rev/min=600*2π rad/min=1200 rad/min
v=rω=70*1200π =84,000 in/min
converting the above in miles per hour we get:
84000 in/min
=(84000*1.6*10^(-5)*60)
=80.64 mph
