Elden [556K]

Answer:

138 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcello thinks it better to have more water balloons on hand that he actually needs fo the water balloon fight, so he rounds up the number of balloons needed to 276 from 275.

Then he divides 276 by 2, obtaining 138. He needs to buy 138 packets of balloons. This way, he will have acquired the required 275 balloons plus 1 left over.

The scale on a map is 1 :50000.

mestny [16]

Answer:

The actual area of the field in square kilometers is $30000000 km^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale : 1 cm = 50000 km

Area of field on map = $1.2 cm^2$

Now , 1 cm = 5000 km

$1 cm^2 = (5000 km)^2$

We are supposed to find the actual area of the field in square kilometers.

So, the actual area of the field in sq. km = $1.2 \times (5000)^2$

Actual area of the field in sq. km $=30000000 km^2$

Hence the actual area of the field in square kilometers is $30000000 km^2$
