Answer:
<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.
The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.
The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.
Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.
The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm
Answer:
140
Step-by-step explanation:
20+4(s)=
20+4(30)=
20+ 120=
140
1/2 x > 0.4x
where Robert's spending is greater than Rosa's spending.
Allowance of Rosa = Allowance of Robert
let x = allowance
Rosa : video games = 0.4(x) ; pizza = 2/5 (x)
Robert : video games = 1/2 (x) ; pizza = 0.25 (x)
let us assume that their allowance is 100 each week. so, x = 100
Rosa : video games = 0.40(100) = 40
pizza 2/5 (100) = 200/5 = 40
total spending: 40 + 40 = 80
Robert : video games = 1/2 (100) = 50
pizza 0.25 (100) = 25
total spending: 50 + 25 = 75
Spending on video games
Rosa = 40
Robert = 50
Robert spent more of his allowance on video games than Rosa.
1/2 x > 0.4x
