A newly hatched snake is 20 cm long.The snake grows to a length of 2.76 m. How much did the snake grow by?
To find out how much the snake grew by, we need to subtract its initial length (20 cm) from its final length (2.76 m).
First, we need to convert the final length from meters to centimeters, since the initial length is in centimeters:
2.76 m = 2.76 * 100 cm/m = 276 cm.
Now we can subtract the initial length from the final length to find out how much the snake grew:
276 cm - 20 cm = 256 cm.
Therefore, the snake grew by 256 cm.
Liana starts with a number and counts up in steps of 6 until she reaches the number 29.
Which number could she have started from?
To find out the possible number that Liana could have started from, we need to look for a number that, when counting up in steps of 6, eventually reaches 29.
We can start by finding the difference between 29 and any number we choose. If the difference is divisible by 6, it means that we can reach 29 by counting up in steps of 6.
Let's check some numbers:
1. If we start from 1, the difference between 29 and 1 is 28. But 28 is not divisible by 6, so it is not a possible starting number.
2. If we start from 2, the difference between 29 and 2 is 27. Again, 27 is not divisible by 6, so it is not a possible starting number.
3. If we start from 3, the difference between 29 and 3 is 26. This time, 26 is divisible by 6 (26 ÷ 6 = 4 remainder 2), so it is a possible starting number.
Thus, Liana could have started from the number 3.
Bruce bakes a selection of 18 cakes.
6 have pink icing, 8 have chocolate icing and the rest have yellow icing.
What fraction of cakes have
pink icing?
To find the fraction of cakes with pink icing, we need to divide the number of cakes with pink icing (6) by the total number of cakes (18).
Fraction of cakes with pink icing = 6/18
Now, we can simplify this fraction. Both 6 and 18 are divisible by 6:
Fraction of cakes with pink icing = 6/18 = 1/3
Therefore, 1/3 of the cakes have pink icing.
To calculate how much the snake grew by, we need to find the difference between its final length and its initial length.
First, let's convert the initial length of the snake from centimeters to meters:
20 cm = 20/100 = 0.2 meters
Now we can find the growth of the snake by subtracting the initial length from the final length:
2.76 m - 0.2 m = 2.56 meters
Therefore, the snake grew by 2.56 meters.
To find out how much the snake grew by, you need to subtract its initial length from its final length.
The initial length of the snake is given as 20 cm, which needs to be converted to meters to match the final length. Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, you can divide 20 cm by 100 to convert it to meters:
20 cm / 100 = 0.2 m
Now you can calculate the growth of the snake by subtracting the initial length from the final length:
2.76 m - 0.2 m = 2.56 m
Therefore, the snake grew by 2.56 meters.
