Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model means that the ratios stay the same.

Therefore, Earth's diameter divided by Pluto's diameter is equal to the ratio of Earth's model's diameter divided by Pluto's model's diameter.

We can write this as

8000 / 1500 = 32/ Pluto's model's diameter. Representing Pluto's model's diameter as P, we can say

8000 / 1500 = 32 / P

multiply both sides by 1500 to remove a denominator

8000 = 32 * 1500 / P

multiply both sides by P to remove the other denominator

8000 * P = 32 * 1500

divide both sides by 8000 to isolate the P

P = 32 * 1500/8000

= 6 inches

Near the equator, the earth rotates approximately 34 kilometers every 32 seconds. what is the speed of earth's rotation near the
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The earth rotates 34 km every 32 seconds. We can simplify this by dividing both sides by 32. Now, we have 34/32 km every 32 seconds. Now, to further simplify this, we need to convert 34/32 to a mixed number 34/32 = 1 2/32 which then can be simplified to 1 1/16. So, near the equator, the speed of Earth's rotation is 1 1/16 km per second.

The population of Canyon Edge is 210,000, and the rate of population growth is 12.5%.
sergejj [24]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x&#10;
 Where,
 A: initial population
 b: growth rate
 x: number of years.
 We then have the following function:
 y = 210000 * (1,125) ^ x&#10;
 For x = 4 years we have:
 y = 210000 * (1,125) ^ 4&#10;&#10; y = 336379
 Answer:
 
the formula for exponential growth is:
 
y = 210000 * (1,125) ^ x
 
The population of Canyon Edge after 4 years is:
 
y = 336379
