- 9. (45, 50) connect from goal line to goal line a football field is 100 yd long. one hundred yards is about how many meters? use a unit multiplier to make the conversion and round the answer to the nearest meter. (1 meter ≈ 1.1 yd)
- (43, 48) a. write ¹⁄₆ as a decimal number rounded to the nearest hundredth.
b. write ¹⁄₆ as a percent.
- (51) how many pennies equal one million dollars? write the answer in scientific notation.
- (51) compare: 11 million ○ 1.1 × 10⁶
- (27) which even two - digit number is a common multiple of 5 and 7?
the figure shows the dimensions of a window. refer to the figure to answer problems 14 and 15.
- 14. (29) estimate what is the approximate perimeter of the window in feet?
- 15. (29) estimate what is the approximate area of the window in square feet?
Problem 6 (assuming we solve part a first)
Step1: Define total as 1
Let the total fraction of rocks be \( 1 \) (since the sum of fractions of all types of rocks should be 1).
Step2: Find fraction of metamorphic (assuming five eighths are metamorphic? Wait, the original text: "Five eighths of the rocks in the box were metamorphic. The rest were igneous." So to find igneous, subtract metamorphic from 1.
Fraction of igneous \( = 1 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8 - 5}{8} = \frac{3}{8} \)
Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines. In the figure with lines intersecting at \( P \), \( \angle QPT \) and \( \angle RPS \) are vertical angles, and \( \angle QPR \) and \( \angle TPS \) are another pair.
Step1: Write the number in digits
Six hundred ten thousand is \( 610000 \)
Step2: Convert to scientific notation
Scientific notation is \( a \times 10^{n} \) where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer. For \( 610000 \), we move the decimal 5 places to the left to get \( a = 6.1 \), so it's \( 6.1 \times 10^{5} \)
