The density of platinum is approximately 21 grams per cmº.
Which of the items cannot be platinum?
You must show your working.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Multiply the density with the volume. You get 2418.2 grams or 2.4182 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Item B

Step-by-step explanation:

A:

density = mas/volume = 42 g / 2 cm^3 = 21 g/cm^3    

This may be platinum.

B.

density = mass/volume = 87.5 g / 5 cm^3 = 17.5 g/cm^3

This cannot be pure platinum.

C.

density = mass/volume = 147 g / 7 cm^3 = 21 g/cm^3

This may be platinum.

Answer: Item B

Luke has 9/10 yard of colored ribbon. He plans to cut the ribbon into pieces. Each piece will be 1/6 yard long. How many whole pieces can luke make from the ribbon?

Answers

Answer:

He can make 5 ribbons and 2/5 yards is left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the colored ribbon = 9/10 yards

Luke plans to cut the ribbon into pieces.

Each piece will be 1/6 yard long.

We need to find the number of pieces that Luke can made from the ribbon. Let he can make x pieces.

[tex]x=\dfrac{\dfrac{9}{10}}{\dfrac{1}{6}}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{10}\times 6\\\\=5.4\\\\=5\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Marcus bought a booklet of tickets to use at the amusement park. He used 50% of the tickets on rides, 13of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage. Marcus says he used 10% of the tickets in the batting cage. Do you agree? Explain.

Answers

Given :

Marcus bought a booklet of tickets to use at the amusement park.

He used 50% of the tickets on rides, 13% of the tickets on video games, and the rest of the tickets in the batting cage.

To Find :

Marcus says he used 10% of the tickets in the batting cage.

Solution :

We know sum of all the percentage should be equal to 100.

So,

( % used on rides ) + ( % used on video game ) + ( % used in batting cage ) = 100

Let, % of ticket spend on batting cage is x.

50 + 13 + x = 100

x = 100 - ( 50 + 13 )

x = 37%

So, Marcus used 37% in batting cage.

Therefore, the statement by Marcus that he use 10% of the ticket in the cage is wrong.

No, i do not agree. To find this out, we will have to convert all of them into either decimals or percents. Let's convert these all into percents. A percent means 'out of 100', so if we add the percents all together, they should equal to 100. The rides is 50%. To convert 1/3 into a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator. You will get a decimal, so then multiply that by 100 or move the decimal two places to the right. So, 1 divided by 3 is equal to approximately 33%. Let's add 50 and 33 together. The total is 83%. So, like I said, a percent is out of 100. Subtract 83 out of 100 and you will get 17. So, the remaining percent has to be 17 percent, not 10%.

Hope it helps :)

Gas mileage is the number of miles you can drive on a gallon of gasoline. A test of a new car shows it can drive 370 miles on 20 gallons of gas. How far could you drive on 65 gallons of gas?

Answers

Answer:

1202.5  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that.

A test of a new car shows it can drive 370 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

We need to find how far you could drive on 65 gallons of gas.

20 gallons of gas = 370 miles

1 gallon = 18.5 miles

For 65 gallons of gas, multiply 65 and 18.5.

65 gallons = 18.5 × 65 miles

= 1202.5  miles

Hence, 1202.5  miles you could drive on 65 gallons of the gas.

Max built a rectangular Prism and a rectangular Pyramid using beach sand. The prism and the pyramid have the same base area and the same height. The amount of sand Max used to build the Prism is how many times the amount used to build the Pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

Three times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Figures: Rectangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid

Let the dimension of the prism be:

[tex]l = length[/tex]

[tex]w = width[/tex]

[tex]h = height[/tex]

Amount of sand used is the volume (V1) and it is calculated using;

[tex]V_1 = l * w * h[/tex]

[tex]V_1 = lw h[/tex]

Since the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, the its dimension would be:

[tex]l = length[/tex]

[tex]w = width[/tex]

[tex]h = height[/tex]

Amount of sand used is the volume (V2) and it is calculated using;

[tex]V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]V_1 = lw h[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)[/tex]

Substitute lwh for V1 in the second equation

[tex]V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3

[tex]3 * V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1 * 3[/tex]

[tex]3 * V_2 = V_1[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]V_1 = 3 * V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_1 = 3 V_2[/tex]

Hence, the amount of sand used in building the prism is three times the amount of sand used in building the pyramid

Eileen collected 78 empty cans to recycle

Carl collected 62 empty cans to recycle

They pack equal number of cans in 7 boxes

= 62 + 78/7

= 140/7

= 20

This question is incomplete, as the playground diagram and dimensions are missing. However, I'll answer on a general terms.

What this question requires is to calculate the perimeter of the playground.

Assume that the playground is rectangular and the dimensions are: 2  meters by 3 meters.

The distance walked will be calculated using the following perimeter formula.

[tex]Distance = 2(2m + 3m)[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 2(5m)[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 10m[/tex]

If it is a square with 5m as the length of one of its side, the distance would be:

[tex]Distance = 4 * 5m[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 20m[/tex]

So basically, all you need to do is calculate the perimeter of the playground.
