Answer:

The original piece of wood is 108 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7

Let the original piece of wood be x

so the sum of the ratios will be;

5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24

the shortest length would be 5/24 * x

= 5x/24

the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24

From the question;

7x/24 -5x/24 = 9

(7x-5x) = 24(9)

2x = 24(9)

x = (24 * 9)/2

x = 108 cm

The number 360 has many factors. This may be why it was chosen for the number of degrees in a full turn
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Due to having 24 divisors.

Step-by-step explanation:

360 has many factors which might be the reason it was chosen for the number of degrees in a full turn. There are total 24 divisors of 360 number which make it the highest factors among all numbers. All circles are divided into 360 even parts so that the Sun would move through 1 part each day. Each of these parts was describes 1 degree and this division give us the idea that a circle contains 360 degrees so we can say that this is the reason that 360 is chosen in degrees.

A grasshopper sits on the first square of a 1×N board. He can jump over one or two squares and land on the next square. The gras
Helga [31]

Answer:

n=N-1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by imagining this scenario on a small scale, say 5 squares.

Assuming it starts on the first square, the grasshopper can cover the full 5 squares in 2 ways; either it can jump one square at a time, or it can jump all the way to the end and then backtrack. If it jumps one square at a time, it will take 4 hops to cover all 5 squares. If it jumps two squares at a time and then backtracks, it will take 2 jumps to cover the full 5 squares and then 2 to cover the 2 it missed, which is also 4. It will always be one less than the total amount of squares, since it begins on the first square and must touch the rest exactly once. Therefore, the smallest amount n is N-1. Hope this helps!
