Cat 120
Chicken 300

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

A cat has Answer
heart beats in 15 seconds.
To determine the number of heart beats a cat has in 15 seconds, we can use the beats per minute measurement provided for the cat, which is 120.

First, we need to find the beats per second by dividing the beats per minute by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute):

120 beats per minute / 60 seconds = 2 beats per second

Next, we can multiply the beats per second by the number of seconds we are interested in, which is 15:

2 beats per second * 15 seconds = 30 beats

Therefore, a cat has approximately 30 heart beats in 15 seconds.

On January 1, Logan had $200 in his savings account. On the first of each month, beginning February 1, he invested a portion of his pay in the savings account. The graph shows the accumulated principal until November 1. What was his rate of savings during the 10-month period?

Select one:

a.
$180/month

b.
$150/month

c.
$200/month

d.
$140/month
Based on the information given and the graph, we can determine Logan's rate of savings during the 10-month period.

On January 1, Logan had $200 in his savings account.

By November 1, the accumulated principal in his account is $1800.

The difference in the principal between November 1 and January 1 is $1800 - $200 = $1600.

Since this difference represents the total amount Logan saved over the 10-month period, we can divide it by the number of months to find his rate of savings.

Rate of savings = ($1600) / (10 months) = $160/month

Therefore, Logan's rate of savings during the 10-month period is $160/month.

Crosby, a giraffe at the Calgary Zoo, is 3.8 metres tall. A stuffed animal version of Crosby is sold in the gift shop. If the scale factor used to reduce the real Crosby to the stuffed animal Crosby is 0.05, how tall is the stuffed animal Crosby?

Select one:

a.
19 cm

b.
76 m

c.
19 m

d.
76 cm
To find the height of the stuffed animal Crosby, we can multiply the height of the real Crosby by the scale factor.

Height of stuffed animal Crosby = Height of real Crosby * Scale factor
Height of stuffed animal Crosby = 3.8 metres * 0.05

Simplifying the calculation:
Height of stuffed animal Crosby = 0.19 metres

Since the question asks for the height in centimeters, we can convert 0.19 metres to centimeters by multiplying by 100:

Height of stuffed animal Crosby = 0.19 metres * 100 cm/metre

Simplifying the calculation:
Height of stuffed animal Crosby = 19 centimeters

Therefore, the stuffed animal Crosby is approximately 19 centimeters tall.

Lyric drew a scale diagram of her guitar. The strings on the actual guitar are each 85 cm long. The strings in Lyric's diagram are 51 mm long.

Determine the scale factor of the diagram.

Select one:

a.
1.7

b.
0.06

c.
0.6

d.
16.7
To determine the scale factor of Lyric's diagram, we need to divide the length of the strings in the diagram by the length of the actual strings on the guitar.

Scale factor = Length in diagram / Length in reality
Scale factor = 51 mm / 85 cm

Since the measurements are in different units, we should convert them to the same unit before calculating the scale factor. For consistency, let's convert both measurements to centimeters.

51 mm = 5.1 cm

Scale factor = 5.1 cm / 85 cm

Simplifying the calculation:
Scale factor ≈ 0.06

Therefore, the scale factor of Lyric's diagram is approximately 0.06.

Eli has a photo of Chief Mountain that measures 5 inches by 7 inches. He scans the photo and enlarges it by 180%. What are the minimum inside dimensions of the frame he will need for the enlarged photo?

Select one:

a.
2.8 inches by 3.9 inch

b.
900 inches by 1260 inches

c.
277.8 inches by 388.9 inches

d.
9 inches by 12.6 inches
To find the minimum inside dimensions of the frame Eli will need for the enlarged photo, we need to calculate the dimensions of the enlarged photo.

The original photo measures 5 inches by 7 inches.

To enlarge the photo by 180%, we can multiply each dimension by 1 + (180 / 100) = 1.8.

Enlarged width = 5 inches * 1.8 = 9 inches
Enlarged height = 7 inches * 1.8 = 12.6 inches

Therefore, the minimum inside dimensions of the frame Eli will need for the enlarged photo are 9 inches by 12.6 inches.

Answer: d. 9 inches by 12.6 inches
Eli has a photo of Chief Mountain that measures 5 inches by 7 inches. He scans the photo and enlarges it by 180%. By what percentage will the area of the photo increase?

Select one:

a.
583%

b.
324%

c.
360%

d.
180%
To calculate the percentage increase in the area of the photo, we need to compare the original area to the enlarged area.

The original area of the photo is 5 inches * 7 inches = 35 square inches.

To find the enlarged area, we can use the dimensions we calculated in the previous response: 9 inches by 12.6 inches.

The enlarged area is 9 inches * 12.6 inches = 113.4 square inches.

Now, we can calculate the percentage increase in the area using the formula:

Percentage increase = (Enlarged area - Original area) / Original area * 100

Percentage increase = (113.4 square inches - 35 square inches) / 35 square inches * 100

Percentage increase = 78.4 square inches / 35 square inches * 100

Percentage increase ≈ 224%

Therefore, the area of the photo will increase by approximately 224%.

A Switzerland-based chocolate company has decided to double the volume of its most popular chocolate bar. The larger bar will be similar in shape to that of the original.

Determine the scale factor relating the dimensions of the original and enlarged chocolate bars.

Select one:

a.
k equals 2 cubed

b.
k equals cube root of 2

c.
k equals 2

d.
k equals square root of 2
To determine the scale factor relating the dimensions of the original and enlarged chocolate bars, we need to consider the change in volume.

Doubling the volume of the chocolate bar suggests a cube expansion since volume is related to the cube of the dimensions.

The formula for the scale factor (k) in a similar shape is given by:

k = cube root of (new volume / original volume)

Since we are doubling the volume, the new volume will be 2 times the original volume.

k = cube root of (2 / 1)
k = cube root of 2

Therefore, the scale factor relating the dimensions of the original and enlarged chocolate bars is:

k equals cube root of 2.

Answer: b. k equals cube root of 2.
A Switzerland-based chocolate company has decided to double the volume of its most popular chocolate bar. The larger bar will be similar in shape to that of the original.

What is the factor relating the surface area of the popular chocolate bar to the surface area of the enlarged chocolate bar?

Select one:

a.
4

b.
cube root of 4

c.
root index 6 of 2

d.
8
To determine the factor relating the surface area of the popular chocolate bar to the surface area of the enlarged chocolate bar, we need to consider the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar shapes.

For similar shapes, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of the ratio of their corresponding dimensions. However, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding dimensions.

Since we are doubling the volume of the chocolate bar, the ratio of their volumes is 2^3 = 8.

To find the ratio of their surface areas, we take the square of the ratio of their corresponding dimensions, which is also 2:

Ratio of surface areas = (2)^2 = 4

Therefore, the factor relating the surface area of the popular chocolate bar to the surface area of the enlarged chocolate bar is 4.

Answer: a. 4.
