The titanic had about half as many plates as they did pieces of silverware .About how many plates did they have ?
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Since the titanic was scheduled to reach on April 17 after leaving on April 10, this means that 7 days was spent on the voyage. The total amount of meat available was 75000 pounds, hence:
number of meat per day = total amount of meat / number of days = 75000 / 7 = 10714 pounds per day.
2) Total number of silverware is 44000. Hence:
Total plates = half of total silverware = 44000/2 = 22000
3) There are 3000 potatoes in a ton, and a total of 40 tons was available on the titanic. Hence:
Total number of potatoes = 40 tons * 3000 potatoes per ton = 120000 potatoes

<h3>Answer: 33%</h3>
===========================================================
Explanation:
1/3 converts to the decimal form 0.333333... where the 3's go on forever
5/3 is a similar story but 5/3 = 1.666666.... where the '6's go on forever
The notation indicates that the 6's go on forever.
So,
The horizontal bar tells us which digits repeat. As another example,
The three dots just mean "keep this pattern going forever".
----------
Everything mentioned so far has the decimal portions go on forever repeating some pattern over and over.
The only one that doesn't do this is 33% which converts to the decimal form 0.33
The value 0.33 is considered a terminating decimal since "terminate" means "stop". So this is the value that doesn't fit in with the other three items mentioned.
