Answer:

2.1 standard drinks

(or 2 if you need to round to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ABV (alcohol by volume) percentage is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol (as a percentage) of the total volume of liquid in a drink.

So for 16% wine, this means that 16% of the volume of the wine is pure alcohol.

Therefore, if 16% of 8 fl oz is pure alcohol, this means that 1.28 fl oz of the 8 fl oz is pure alcohol (since 0.16 × 8 = 1.28).

One standard drink ≈ 0.6 fl oz pure alcohol

To calculate the number of standard drinks, divide the total amount of pure alcohol found by the amount in one standard drink:

1.28 ÷ 0.6 = 2.1

Therefore there is approximately 2.1 standard drinks in 8 fl oz of 16% wine.

A triangular pyramid and its net are shown. Rain uses Calculations below to conclude that the surface area of a triangular pyram

Harman [31]

Answer:

Rain is correct, calculates correctly, 238.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangular pyramid is shown with the dimensions.

The surface area of the triangular pyramid is given by :

$A=\frac{1}{2}\left(a \times b\right) + 3\left(\frac{1}{2}\times b\times s\right)$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\left(10 \times 8.7\right) + 3\left(\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 13\right)$

$A=43.5+(3\times 65)$

$A=43.5+195$

$A=238.5 \ \text{inche}^2$

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular pyramid is = 238.5 square inches.

7^16/7^12=7^-18/? what is the missing denominator

creativ13 [48]

$\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\qquad \qquad 
a^{{{ n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{ n}}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{7^{16}}{7^{12}}=\cfrac{7^{-18}}{x}\implies x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{12}\cdot 7^{-18}\implies x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{12-18}
\\\\\\
x\cdot 7^{16}=7^{-6}\implies x=\cfrac{7^{-6}}{7^{16}}\implies x=\cfrac{7^{-6}\cdot 7^{-16}}{1}\implies x=7^{-6-16}
\\\\\\
\boxed{x=7^{-22}}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{7^{22}}$
