Loihi is an underwater volcano with an elevation of 969 meters below sea level. Mauna loa is 5,138 meters higher then loihi. What is the elevation of mauna loa?
To find the elevation of Mauna Loa, we need to add the elevation of Loihi (969 meters below sea level) to the height difference (5,138 meters).
Elevation of Mauna Loa = Elevation of Loihi + Height Difference
Elevation of Mauna Loa = -969 meters + 5,138 meters
Elevation of Mauna Loa = 4,169 meters above sea level. Answer: \boxed{4,169}.
The teacher bought 8 1/2 pounds of candy for the class party. If she puts 1/4 pound of candy into each bag, how may bags will she have?
To find the number of bags the teacher will have, we need to divide the total weight of candy (8 1/2 pounds) by the weight of each bag (1/4 pound).
First, let's convert the mixed number 8 1/2 to an improper fraction.
8 1/2 = (8 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 17/2
Now, we can divide the total weight by the weight of each bag.
Number of bags = Total weight of candy / Weight of each bag
Number of bags = (17/2) pounds / (1/4) pounds
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal.
Number of bags = (17/2) pounds * (4/1) pounds = (17/2) * (4/1) = (17 * 4) / (2 * 1) = 68/2 = 34
Therefore, the teacher will have 34 bags. Answer: \boxed{34}.
A baker has 4 dozen eggs to make pound cakes. He will use 1/2 dozen eggs per cake. How many pound cakes can the baker make?
To find the number of pound cakes the baker can make, we need to divide the total number of eggs (4 dozen) by the number of eggs used per cake (1/2 dozen).
First, let's convert the number of eggs to a common unit.
1 dozen = 12 eggs
So, 4 dozen = 4 * 12 = 48 eggs.
Next, let's convert the number of eggs used per cake to a common unit.
1/2 dozen = 1/2 * 12 = 6 eggs.
Now, we can divide the total number of eggs by the number of eggs used per cake.
Number of pound cakes = Total number of eggs / Number of eggs used per cake
Number of pound cakes = 48 eggs / 6 eggs
Number of pound cakes = 8
Therefore, the baker can make 8 pound cakes. Answer: \boxed{8}.
To find the elevation of Mauna Loa, we need to add the elevation of Loihi with the elevation difference between the two. Let's calculate it step by step:
1. The elevation of Loihi is given as 969 meters below sea level.
2. Mauna Loa is stated to be 5,138 meters higher than Loihi.
To find the elevation of Mauna Loa, we need to add the elevation difference between Mauna Loa and Loihi to the elevation of Loihi:
Elevation of Mauna Loa = Elevation of Loihi + Elevation difference between Mauna Loa and Loihi
Elevation of Mauna Loa = 969 meters below sea level + 5,138 meters
Calculating the sum:
Elevation of Mauna Loa = -969 meters + 5,138 meters
Elevation of Mauna Loa = 4,169 meters
Therefore, the elevation of Mauna Loa is 4,169 meters.
