Answer:

25 Paper Clips

Step-by-step explanation:

100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).

100/4 = 25

So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. ... Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals. The minerals can form crystals when they cool.

2. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion, and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes.

3. The three types of metamorphism are Contact, Regional, and Dynamic metamorphism. Contact Metamorphism occurs when magma comes in contact with an already existing body of rock.

Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Dahasolnce [82]

Note: you may have unintentionally missed to add the complete question. Therefore, after a little research, I am able to find the complete question which I am attaching to solve your query, which anyways would clear your concept.

The complete Question:

Keenan gives Tisha half of his strawberries. Tisha keeps 4 of the strawberries she got from Keenan and gives the rest to Suvi.

a) Write an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi. Use k for the number of strawberries Keenan started with.

b) Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Answer:

Part a)

An expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi will be: $n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

Part b)

Keenan could not have started with 6 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi. Use k for the number of strawberries Keenan started with.

Let $k$ be the total number of strawberries which Keenan has.

So,

$\frac{k}{2}$ is the number of strawberries Keenan gave to Tisha.

As Tisha keeps 4 strawberries and gives the rest to Suvi. Let $n$ be the number of strawberries which Suvi has.

So,

$n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

$\frac{k}{2}=n+4$

$k=2n+8$

Therefore, an expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi will be: $n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

b) Could Keenan have started with 6 strawberries? Use your expression to explain why or why not.

Considering the expression for the number of strawberries Tisha gives to Suvi

$n=\frac{k}{2} -4$

Putting $k = 6$ in the expression

$n=\frac{6}{2} -4$

Solving the expression

$n=3-4$ ∵ $\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{2}=3$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:3-4=-1$

$n=-1$

So, Keenan would have started with 6 strawberries, then Suvi would have -1 strawberries. Since, strawberries cannot be negative as Suvi cannot have negative number of strawberries.

Therefore, Keenan could not have started with 6 strawberries.
