You are baking cookies for your class. There are 23 total students in your class and you have baked 12 cookies. Write and solve

an equation to find the additional number x of cookies you need to bake in order to have 2 cookies for each student. Write your equation so that the units on each side of the equation are cookies per student.

(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies

Solve the equation or inequality 3/2t-16=4/3t-6

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em>t=60</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2t-16=4/3t-6

(subtract 4/3t from both sides)

3/2t-16-4/3t=-6

(add 16 to both sides)

3/2t-4/3t=-6+16

(simplify)

1/6t=10

(divide by 1/6 (or multiply by 6 on both sides)

t=60

9. The average diameter of an atom is 2 x 10-8 m. What if the average diameter of an atom was 1 cm? How tall would you be?

ozzi

Answer:

You'd be $2 * 10^{-6}$ times tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the previous and new diameter by D1 and D2;

$D_1 = 2 * 10^{-8}m$

$D_2 = 1\ cm$

To determine how tall you'd be, we need to divide D2 by D1;

$Ratio = \frac{D_2}{D_1}$

Substitute values for D2 and D1

$Ratio = \frac{2 * 10^{-8}m}{1\ cm}$

Convert cm to m

$Ratio = \frac{2 * 10^{-8}m}{1 * 0.01\ m}$

$Ratio = \frac{2 * 10^{-8}m}{0.01\ m}$

Convert denominator to exponents

$Ratio = \frac{2 * 10^{-8}m}{10^{-2}\ m}$

$Ratio = \frac{2 * 10^{-8}}{10^{-2}}$

Apply Law of indices

$Ratio = 2 * 10^{-8} * 10^2$

$Ratio = 2 * 10^{-8+2}$

$Ratio = 2 * 10^{-6}$

Hence;

<em>You'd be </em> $2 * 10^{-6}$ <em> times tall</em>

A car company sells a scale model to of the size of one of its cars.

mixer [17]

Answer:

$w = 13500$ --- real windscreen

$v = 408$ --- scale volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$k = \frac{1}{10}$ --- scale factor

See attachment

Required

Complete the table

To get the windscreen (w) of the real car, we do the following computation

$w = \frac{w_{scale}}{k^2}$

This gives:

$w = \frac{135}{(1/10)^2}$

$w = \frac{135}{1/100}$

$w = 13500$

Next, the volume (v) of the scale mode

We make use of the following computation

$v = v_{real} * k^3$

So, we have:

$v = 408000 * (1/10)^3$

$v = 408000 * 1/1000$

$v = 408$
