The first one is correct I think.
The first step to do is to calculate first the total
household waste generate for the two years. That is:
total waste generated = 23,400,000 tons + 48,100,000 tons
total waste generated = 71,500,000 tons
Now, to write either a very big number or a very small number
in a form of scientific notation simply means to write it in a decimal form
such as: 12.5 * 10^10
Now to write 71,500,000 in scientific notation, the decimal
form is 7.15, however we still need to find out the * 10^n factor. The value of
n depends on the number of places the decimal point was moved. If the movement
was from right to left, the value of n is positive and if the movement was from
right to left, the value of n is negative. Since the decimal point was moved by
7 places, hence the complete scientific notation is:
7.15 * 10^7 tons
Let x = number of adult tickets
Let 2x = number of student tickets.
So, x + 2x = 336
3x = 336
x = 112
They sold 112 adult tickets.
Answer:
The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is given by the following formula:
In which r is the radius and h is the height.
Two cones:
Both have the same height.
The sharing-size cone has 3 times the radius of the skinny-size cone.
Skinny:
radius r, height h. So
Sharing size:
radius 3r, height h. So
About how many times more popcorn does the sharing cone hold than the skinny cone?
The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.
