10,000 sheets of paper is 85cm.
1 sheet of paper is xcm. K?
Since it's like 1 sheet of paper + 1 sheet of paper + (until you get 10,000 sheets of paper) is 85cm, you divide 85 by 10,000 to get the thickness of 1 sheet of paper.
85/10,000 = 0.0085
Therefore, 1 sheet of paper is 0.0085cm thick. :)

To find the thickness of one paper, you set up proportions. 10,000 sheets/85 cm=1 sheet/ x cm. Then you cross multiply and get,
85=10,000x
Then find x,
x=.0085
Or .0085 cm
Another way to find it is just to divide 85 by 10,000 from the start because you need to find the thickness of one paper, not ten thousand. 
Hope this helps.

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?
kkurt [141]
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor. 
                          x + 1
                        ------------------------------------
                  x+1| x²+2x+1
                        - x²+x
                         ----------------------
                                 x +1
                               - x + 
                             ------------

Kelly ordered 10 pizzas for a party. 30% of the pizzas have 12 slices each. The remaining 70% of the pizzas have 8 slices each.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The total number of slices is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Kelly ordered 10 pizzas for a party

step 1

30% of the pizzas have 12 slices each

so

The number of pizzas for 30% is equal to

0.30(10)=3 pizzas

The number of slices is

3(12)=36 slices

step 2

70% of the pizzas have 8 slices each

so

The number of pizzas for 70% is equal to

0.70(10)=7 pizzas

The number of slices is

7(8)=56 slices

step 3

Find the total number of slices

36+56=92 slices

I think Mr. Han is around the 60 or 70 age.

I am really sorry that I couldn't answer this problem.  Try starting with 21 and multiply that by 3.  To check if you can do it, add 43 to the number you multiply 3 with.  Again, i am really sorry that i only wrote a hint.  Good luck finding the answer!

A mattress store sold 1,330 mattresses in one year. If 30% of the mattresses sold were king size mattresses, how many king size
kodGreya [7K]

The total number of mattresses that are sold in a year = 1,330

Percentage of King size mattresses sold = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Next, we have to calculate the actual number sold by using the formula given below:

Number of king size mattresses sold = Total mattresses sold in a year * percentage of king size mattresses sold

Number of King Size mattresses sold = 1,330*0.3 = 399

Number of king size mattresses sold = 399
