Answer:

14\ pounds

Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is 10^3 times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:

e=10^3c

If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:

e=14,000

We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.

Then we get:

14,000=10^3c\\\\\frac{14,000}{10^3}=c\\\\c=14

A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi
Grace [21]
I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$2.25/km

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost charged for a total taxi ride of 14\frac{2}{9}\ km was $32. To get the cost per km, we divide the cost charged for the total taxi ride by the total distance that was traveled by the taxi. The cost per km is given by:

Cost per km = \frac{Cost \ of\ money\ charged}{Total\ distance}=\frac{\$ 32}{14\frac{2}{9} \ km}=\frac{32}{\frac{128}{9} }=   \$2.25/km

Therefore the cost per kilometer is $2.25 per kilometer. Each kilometer traveled by the taxi cost $2.25.

Luden [163]
To answer this question you should begin with the coin that has a higher value.  If you start with the dime and then just add the correct number of pennies to total $0.40, you will see that you will need 3 dimes ($0.30) and 10 pennies ($0.10).  

I used a guess and check strategy starting with 2 dimes.
