the front and back covers of a textbook are each 0.3cm thick between the covers are 240 sheets of a pare each 0.008 cm thick. how high is a stack of 10 books?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Find the total thickness of the paper and covers combined, and times it by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah can u help me am kind of really stupid at math please:)

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

To find the total height of the paper, multiply 0.008 by 240 (you see why, right)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

And, obviously a book isnt a book without to covers, so multiply 0.3 times 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it answer is 1.92

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the second one is 0.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I right?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

I think so , yeah

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

So, yo would add them to get the full height of one book

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

**you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so if I add them I will get 2.52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after this what next

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup, and that's just one book. To find all 10 books, multiply it by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok if I multiply I will get 25.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that my answer?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup! There you go! Don't forget units, though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you. you been a great help

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

No problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can I ask you one more question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the winner of a marathon ran 26.2 mile in 2 h 14 min. find the average number of minutes for each mile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1 h = 60 min)

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Umm,, sure so you would convert hours to minutes,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can you help me please remember am stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at math

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Ok, we know that theres, 60 min in 1 hr, so how many min are there in 2 hrs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup, and add it to 14, you have 2hrs 14 min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that will be 134

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup, and since you want average, divide 26.2 by 134

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will get 0.1955223

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup! There's your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it not in the answer choice

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Is 0.2 there or 0.196 or 0.20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope none of them is in the answer choice

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

What are the answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.4, 9.2,19.7,29.4,3.6,7.10, 5.1, 4.3, 12.5,18.5, 0.05, 0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that the answer choice

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Oh my bad, minutes per mile. You would divide 134 by 26.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 107.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? am so lost

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

134/26.2 ?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

You see you want minutes per mile, if you ran 26.2 minutes in 134 miles, how many minutes per mile did you run?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can you work it out am so lost confuse tired and my brain is really full. I will never be good in math am jut stupid just like my family and friends say I am

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

No, this stuff isn't hard once you take a second and step back and look at it

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

I also have a calculator, I can't be bothered to work out decimals, so that might be it

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

And you get 5 min per mile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 5 ?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Yup

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

I have to go though, I have school tomorrow, so bye and good luck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye and thanks
