There are 376 stones in 3 piles the second pile has 24 more stones than the first pile the 3rd pile has twice as many stones as the 2nd how many are in each pile?

76 fist pile, 100 second pil, 200 in the third pile


If there are 3000 books divided into 3 piles and the first pile has 10 more books than the second pile and the second has twice as many as the third how many books are in the third pile?

Let x = third pile First Pile = 2x + 10 Second Pile = 2x Third Pile = x (2x+10) + (2x) + (x) = 3000 2x + x + 2x + 10 = 3000 5x + 10 = 3000 5x = 3000 - 10 5x = 2990 x = 2990/5 x = 598 Therefore there are 598 books in the third pile. I'm sure you can figure out how to get how many books are in all other piles.


If you had a piece of paper that was 0.001 inches thick how tall a pile would it make if it were folded in half 10 times?

1.028"


If you folded a peice of paper 50 times and the thickness was .1 mm when you started how thick would it be?

It is physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 8 times. However, assuming you could do it (though it would be easier to cut the pile so far in half and put one half on top of the other), then: After 1 fold the stack has 2 sheets After 2 folds the stack has 4 sheets After 3 folds the stack has 8 sheets After n folds the stack has 2^n sheets After 50 folds the stack will be 2⁵⁰ sheets thick As each sheet is 0.1mm, the stack will be: 2⁵⁰ × 0.1 mm = 112589990684262.4 mm thick = 112589990.6842624 km thick ≈ 1.126 × 10¹¹ m thick
