Answer:

i feel as if in the United States, both the metric system and the English system of measurement are used, although the English system predominates. This discussion question has three parts:

Look around you to find something in the U.S. that is measured in metrics. Describe it to the class.

Give an example of how you think the metric system will be used in your future career.

Do you think the U.S. should switch to metric system exclusively? Why or why not?

This week we learned about the metric and U.S. customary measurement systems. Please upload and submit your responses to the following questions in at least 150 words:

In reflecting on both measurement systems, what did you find most important?

Explain how both measurement systems could relate to your life, community, or current/future career.

Given a rectangular pyramid and a rectangular prism that have the same base and same height, how do their volumes compare? If th

Luden [163]

We know that
volume of a rectangular prism =B*h------> equation 1
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height

volume of a rectangular pyramid=(1/3)*B*h-----> equation 2
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
volume of a rectangular pyramid=(1/3)*volume of a rectangular prism

the answer part a) is
volume of a rectangular pyramid=(1/3)*volume of a rectangular prism

Part b) If the pyramid was full of water, how much of the prism would it fill up?

the answer part b) is
If the pyramid was filled with water, the prism would only fill 1/3 of its volume

Part c) Name another pair of three-dimensional objects that have a relationship similar to this

cones and cylinders

volume of a cylinder =B*h------> equation 1
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height 

volume of a cone=(1/3)*B*h-----> equation 2
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
volume of a cone=(1/3)*volume of a cylinder

You take the four Aces, four $2$'s, and four $3$'s from a standard deck of 52 cards, forming a set of $12$ cards. You then deal

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Probability each player gets an ace, a $2 and a $3 = 0.0374

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways to divide the card in triples among four players = 369600 ways

The total number of ways to share the cards such that no card is repeated in each triple = 13824 ways

Probability each player gets an ace, a $2 and a $3 = 13824/369600

Probability each player gets an ace a $2 and a $3 = 0.0374

A student claims that the expression “9 times the sum of a number and 13” is translated to the algebraic expression 9n + 13. Is

Alex73 [517]

9*13+n
I think that is correct, try and split up the question.
9*
A sum of a number AND 13
So that means that 9 is multiplying by the SUM (adding) of 13 and a number (n)

What is the scale factor of polygon qrstu to poligon defgh

koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two polygons are similar, corresponding sides will have a constant ratio. So, the ratio between ST and FG will be the same as the scale factor between the two shapes.

$\dfrac{FG}{ST}=\dfrac{15}{36}=\dfrac{5}{12}$

Therefore, the correct answer is choice A. Hope this helps!
