How many 1cm cubed will fit inside a box measuring 4 cm?
There is not enough information.
For example, if the box measures 4 cm * 0.5 cm * 0.5 cm then no cube will fit in it.
Why did Nicolaus Copernicus believe in the heliocentric?
There is no evidence that he believed the heliocentric theory but his motivation in putting the theory forward was to provide a model of circles and epicycles that provided a simpler model for predicting the planets' positions than the old Ptolemaic theory. It worked quite well and was accepted by the church as a valuable teaching aid, while they retained their theological beliefs about the Earth being in fact at the centre.

What is mathematician Robert Arnott Wilson best known for?

What is the meaning of buko song?

What jobs did nicolaus Copernicus have for most of his life?
A deacon of the Roman Catholic Church in an area I can not remember at the moment. Still, this was his employment for most of his life and not unusual for scientists of that era.
If 10% of plain M&Ms are blue and you have a sample of 20 M&Ms only two of them will be blue. If you need to have 15 blue M&Ms, then your sample size should be 150 M&Ms because 15 is 10% of 150.
Yes, 1.320 is greater than 1.302. Thats because even with the decimal, the greater number is decided like usual numbers as long as negative sign is not present.

his right eye became poor after bad fever, and his left eye became blind after a cataract whatever that is
How do you know 0.825 and 0.37 can be written as fractions?
This is how you convert decimals to fractions.
First write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1.825/1
Count the number of decimals spaces, in this case 3. Now you know how many times you have to multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by 10. This will be 10x10x10 = 1000 Therefore, you will have for the numerator .825x1000 = 825 and for the denominator 1x1000 = 1000
Your fraction now looks like this:
825/1000
Now simplify 825/1000
825/25=33
1000/25 = 40
33/40 <- there is your answer for the first one.
For the second one just follow the same steps
Divide by 1
.37/1
Two decimal spaces multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10x10=100
37/100
And since you can not simplify anymore, that gives you the answer of 37/100
What is bigger 1000 km or 1000000 m?
1000000 is bigger because 100x1000 (since a kilometer is 1000 meters) is 100000 which proves 1000000 meters is bigger than 100 km
What is the largest mass that a water molecule could have using other isotopes?
The standard water molecular weight is 18 = O16 + 2H1.
Tritium (H3) exists, but the half life is 12.3 years. O18 is the heaviest of the stable istopes of oxygen. Combining it with tritium yields an atomic mass of 24.
Oxygen 24 has a half life of 61 milliseconds, so you could very briefly get a water molecule with an atomic weight of 30. There may be an oxygen isotope as heavy as 26, though its half life is unknown.
