The graph below describes the cycles of the Moon as observed from Earth during the first 60 days of a year. The percentage of the Moon which we see varies as a function of time. A full moon corresponds to 100% visibility and a new moon corresponds to 0% visibility.Complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function.* The first new moon of the year was on day ___.* The second new moon of the year was on day ___.* Therefore, the period between the two new moons is approximately ___ days long.

Respuesta :

a) The first new moon was on the 24th day

b) The second new moon was on the 51 st day

c) There are approximately 27 days between the two new moons

Firstly, we want to get the first new moon

The first new moon corresponds to 0% visibility

We trace the point at which we have the first intercept on the x-axis

We can see that the first intercept was on the 24 th day

Secondly, we want to get the day for the second new moon. This is the second intercept on the x-axis

We have this on the 51 st day

Thirdly, we want to get the number of days between the new moons

We simply make a subtraction of the first new moon from the second

That would be 51-24 = 27 days
