Yep!
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.
Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.
Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sammi has 2 1/3 feet of rope.
To write this type of fraction = 2 + 1/3 - The integer 2 in the expression is the amount of feet of rope that was cut.
Thus to know the number of 1/2 foot pieces produced, let this number be x. Thus, we have 1/2 of x pieces = 2
x/2 = 2; x = 2x2 = 4.
Thus, Sanmi has 4 pieces of 1/2 foot long piece each of rope.
(6, 2 )
substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y
6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 
= 2
the ordered pair is (5, 2 )
Answer:
The length of the insect in decimeters is: 0.035 decimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The metric table help us to know:
1 decimeter =100 millimeters
To answer the question we need to know how many decimeters are 3.5 millimeters, so:
The length of the insect in decimeters is: 0.035 decimeters
