Answer:

Approximately 3,333 acres per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find out how many hours are in 3 days.

There are 24 hours in one day.

24 times 3 = 72.

There are 72 hours in 3 days.

So the wildfire is destroying 240,000 acres every 72 hours.

240,000 divided by 72 = 3,333.3333, which is about

3,333 acres per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

240000 acres in 3 days.

1 day = 24 h

3 days = 24×3 = 72 h

acres destroyed per hour = 240000 / 72 =

= 3,333.333333...

At 7:00 am, the temperature was -4℉. At 9:00 am, it was 8° warmer. What was the temperature at 9:00 am? *

4℉.

What we know about Degrees is that there is a Positive type and a negative type.

(i.e: 30℉ is positive and -30℉ is negative.)

If the temperature was -4℉ at 7AM, then it is negative. If it goes up by an amount that is more than 4 then that negative will go up to a positive temperature. In this case: At 9AM it was 8° warmer.

Warmer is a keyword. If it is warmer by an amount, Negative temperatures will go up to a positive and positive temperature will just go up. If it gets cooler, negative temperatures will go down further and positive temperatures will go down to a negative.

So lets work out this problem with our newfound knowledge.

-4° F at 7AM

8° warmer at 9AM

-4 + 8 = 4.

The temperature was 4° at 9AM.

Kobotan [32]

If the volume of this pyramid is 234 units, the height of the pyramid is equal to 13 units.

<h3>How to calculate the volume of a pyramid.</h3>

Mathematically, the volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:

$Volume = \frac{1}{3} \times base\;area \times height$
