Answer this question: Help With Science Homework, Por Favor. -_- Involves Math. (Read first answer!)
Olympian_Hero: 11-15-2011 at 2:39 PMImagine that you are building a model of the Earth that is going to have a radius of 1m. You find out that the average radius of the Earth is 6,375km and that the thickness of the lithosphere is about 150km. What percentage of the Earth's radius is the lithosphere? How thick (in centimeters) would you make the lithosphere in your model?

I know I probably sound stupid now, but I don't get that problem....
Head_Heart_HP: 11-15-2011 at 2:47 PMSofi, when I saw this question I thought... Hm... maybe I can help.
When I read the problem I thought... Oh, god. You are asking the wrong person.
Good luck! XD
DaringSpirit: 11-15-2011 at 4:13 PM6,375-150 and then move the decimal sixth places to the right and there is your answer! lol.
DreamerChick: 11-15-2011 at 5:24 PMEr... uh... sorry, can't help ya :)

lovelifeactstupidbehappy: 11-15-2011 at 7:51 PMI would halp, but science is my worst subject and I have no idea what half of those long words mean. Sorry.
Wishing_: 11-15-2011 at 8:00 PMLol Exactly what Head_Heart_HP wrote! Lol sorry.

Makes me feel like my math is easy. Which is saying a lot.
ChickenIsAmazing: 11-15-2011 at 10:42 PMTo find the percentage I'd do proportions. 6,375/150 = x/100. I think that's right. Math's my favorite subject and Algebra is amazing, but I need to review this stuff. Stupid geometry. I need to be doing algebra, not wasting my year on stuff I learned in 5th grade.... -.- Sorry. Anyways, to find the thickness wouldn't you have to put 1/6,375 and then multiply so it's in centimeters? I think that's how you do it.
