Alice has just discovered base 10 cake! She is delighted with how powerful it is. One day, after nibbling on the cake, Alice realizes she is 1 mile tall. Having her head in the sky makes her think about space travel. She decides she wants to visit the moon, which is about 239,000 miles from the earth. How many more ounces of base 10 cake should Alice eat so the top of her head just touches the moon? Give your answer to the nearest hundredth of an ounce.

5.38 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Alice height = 1 mile

Distance of earth to moon = 239000 miles

Number of base 10 cakes required so they Alice's head just touches the moon ;

Using the relation :

Distance = height per ounce * 10^number of ounces

Height per ounce = 1 mile ;

Let number of ounces = n

Hence,

239000 = 1 * 10^n

239000 = 10^n

Take log of both sides

Log(239000) = n

5.3783979 = n

5.3784 = n

Hence, Alice should take 5.38 ounces of base 10 cakes

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
