<h3>Answer:  2 inches</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

The area of any given sheet of paper is 8.5*11 = 93.5 square inches.

Divide the volume over this area to get the height of the stack

187/(93.5) = 2

The stack is 2 inches tall.

Extra info: The thickness of each piece of paper is 2/500 = 0.004 of an inch which approximates to about 0.1016 mm.

Ellen purchased a dishwasher, which cost $315 before the 9.22% sales tax. She used the machine an average of 10 times per week f
Natasha2012 [34]
Given:
Cost of dishwasher : 315 before sales tax
sales tax : 9.22%

Total cost = 315 * 1.0922 = 344.043

Average of 10 uses per week for the next 6 years before replacing it.
There are 52 weeks in a year.

10 uses per week * 52 weeks per year * 6 years = 3120 average uses

cost for water = 0.09 ; cost for electricity = 0.13 ; total cost per use = 0.22

0.22 * 3120 = 686.40 cost of use

purchase cost =    344.043
cost of use      =    <u>686.40</u>
lifetime cost     1,030.443

Find two numbers whose sum is 15 and the product is 36
ycow [4]
The two numbers are 3 and 12.

I got these numbers by factoring 36.

1 * 36    sum : 37
2 * 18    sum : 20
3 * 12    sum : 15

It is easier to find the factor of a number and solve for the sum. Than to find the addends of a number and solve for the product.

There are 9 factors of 36 while 14 addends of 15.
