Hello there,
The answer to your question is 1 meter as its more sensible. As if you were to use 1 millimeter it will take you a long time to measure the iron board and the result will be inaccurate. Thus to prevent inaccuracy, 1 meter is a better estimate.

Hope this helps :))

Landon finds that the school cafeteria has 8,000 milliliters of grape juice, 4.2 liters

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

1) Part A)

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

2) Part B)

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Explanation:

1) Data:

Grape juice: 8,000 mililiters

Cranberry juice: 4.2 liter

Orange juice: 12,000 mililiters

There are 1,000 mililiers in 1 liter

2) Part A:

Table:

The table is garbled. This is what the tables could look like:

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

You can see that the table shows a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number of liters:

1,000/1 = 1,000
5,000/5 = 1,000
8,000/8 = 1,000

14,000/14 = 1,000

number of mililiters / liters = 1,000

3) Part B)

Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to mililiters so he can compare the amounts of the different juices:

i) One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to  multiply  the number of

liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter.

As demonstrated above there is a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number on liters, then you must multiply the number of liters by the proportionality constant to find the number of mililiters.

ii) This means there are  4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters.

That is the product 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.

iii) The cafeteria has the greatest amount of  orange juice, the second greatest amount of  grape  juice, and the least amount of  cranberry juice.

Rank the amounts:

12,000 > 8,000 > 4,200

How do you simplify 3(j-2k)+4 ?

masha68 [24]

Answer: 3j-6k+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to distribute the 3 to the j and the -2k since they are both in the parentheses. So it would look like (3*j) +(-2k*3)+4 and if you simplify that it is 3j-2k+4. After that there are no like terms so that is your answer.

How do you solve this? Matt had some candy to give to his four children. He first took two pieces for himself and then evenly di

Rasek [7]

You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = 18 pieces.
