East to West distance in the map: 36 inches

Use of the scale: 36 in * 500 feet / in =18,000 feet

Conversion to miles: 18,000 feet * 1 mile / 5,280 in = 3.4 miles

Answer: 3.4

A teacher needs 70 lengths of string cut to 40cm each. If balls of string are 10 m long, how many balls will be needed.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is 10 meters. Since 100 centimeters are in a meter, each ball has 100*10 = 1000 centimeters.

The teacher needs 70 strings each 40 centimeters. The total amount they need is 70*40 = 2800 centimeters.

Since a ball has 1000 centimeters, 2800 centimeters will need 3 balls for a total of 3000 centimeters.

Claire for to a show sale. Everything on the shelf is 35% off the marked price. She falls in love with a pair of red heels that
lyudmila [28]
Percentage of discount on the Marked price = 35%
Marked price of the pair of red heels that Claire falls in love with = $64.99
Then
Amount of discount on the
marked price of the pair of red heels = (35/100) * 64.99 dollars
                                                           = 0.35 * 64.99 dollars
                                                           = 22.746 dollars
                                                           = 22.75 dollars
Then
Price of the red heels after discount = (64.99 - 22.75) dollars
                                                           = 42.24 dollars
Percentage of sales tax that needs to be given by Claire = 7.5%
Amount of sales tax that needs to be given by Claire = (7.5/100) * 42.24 dollars
                                                                                     = 316.80/100 dollars
                                                                                     = 3.168 dollars
                                                                                     = 3.17 dollars
Then
The total price of the
red heels that Claire has to pay = (42.24 + 3.17) dollars
                                                   = 45.41 dollars
So Claire has to pay a total of $45.41 for the pair of red heels she has fallen in love with.

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu
Tresset [83]

we know that

1 Kw=1000 w

The company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw

Step 1

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*0.9

Cost=$0.117

b) In a year

\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\  hour

0.9*365=328.5\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*328.5

Cost=$42.71

Step 2

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*0.18

Cost=$0.0234

b) In a year

\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\  hour

0.18*365=65.7\ kw\  hour

Cost=0.13*65.7

Cost=$8.54

Step 3

Find the difference in cost

Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars

therefore

the answer is

34.17 dollars
