Question

In one year the perseid metor shower had a metor appear every 1/5 5 minutes on average That same year the Leonid metor shower had a metor appear every 4/2 3 minutes on average.

Answer 1

For Leonid meteor shower: So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have : 1 meteor - 4.67 minutes. x meteors - 525600 minutes

Explanation:

Answer 2

In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

Answer:

325,452 meteors

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know that :

We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes

SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :

365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes

For Perseid meteor:

`1 + (1)/(5) \\ \\ = 1 + 0.2 \\ \\ = 1.2`

So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteor - 525600 minutes.

1.2x = 525600

`x = (525600)/(1.2)`

x = 438000

∴ 438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.

For Leonid meteor shower:

`4 + (2)/(3) = 4.67`

So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

`4.67x = 525600`

`x = (525600)/(4.67)`

x = 112548

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

Finally , the numbers of more meteors that fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
