A company makes solid chocolate eggs and their shapes are mathematically similar.​
The diagram shows eggs of height 2 cm and 6 cm.​
The mass of the small egg is 4 g.​
Calculate the mass of the large egg.​
I need help with this question. Is there some kind of formula for an eggshape or something?? Please help me and explain to me step by step.​
The markingscheme says the answer is 108 and i dont know how it is??​


right, do you know about LSF and VSF? its a long story, but
(length/length)^3 = volume/volume
in the question it says mass, which is proportional to volume

so (2/6)^3 = 4/x
there you go.

Malaysians have it the earliest I think or Indonesians...not sure..then the subcontinental people but it doesn't matter because you will get stressed out and not be able to concentrate on your paper if you talk about the paper with someone who already did it. They don't have the solution to it, prolly just a vague memory of the questions...very unreliable

1 A bus leaves a port every 15 minutes, starting at 09 00.
The last bus leaves at 17 30.
How many times does a bus leave the port during one day?

35 times

0900 - 1730 = 0830
0830 / 0015 = 34
34 + 1 = 35

( plus 1 because u include the very first port , the one it started from )
