A family of five recently replaced its 5-gallon-per-minute showerheads with water-saving 2-gallon-per-minute showerheads. Each m

ember of the family averages 8 minutes in the shower per day. In a 30-day period, how many fewer gallons of water will the family use with the new showerheads?

Answer:

Family will save 3600 gallons of water by replacing the shower-heads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of family members in a family = 5

Each member of the family averages shower per day = 8 minutes

Total time for shower = 5×8 = 40 minutes

With a 5 gallon shower-heads each member will use water in a day = 5×40 = 200 gallons

Water consumption in 30 days = 200×30 = 6000 gallons per month

After replacing the shower-heads with 2 gallons per minute shower-heads family will use the amount of water = 40×2= 80 gallons per day

Water used in one month = 80×30 = 2400 gallons

Now water save by the family in 30-day period = 6000 - 2400 = 3600 gallons

Therefore, family will use 3600 gallons less water by replacing the water saving water heads.

ACD is a triangle and B is a point on AC. AB = 8cm and BC is 6cm. Angle BCD = 48° and angle BDC = 50°. (a) Find the length of BD
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

  • 5.8206 cm
  • 10.528 cm
  • 23.056 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The Law of Sines can be used to find BD.

  BD/sin(48°) = BD/sin(50°)

  BD = (6 cm)(sin(48°)/sin(60°)) ≈ 5.82064 cm

__

(b) We can use the Law of Cosines to find AD.

  AD^2 = AB^2 +BD^2 -2·AB·BD·cos(98°) . . . . . angle ABD = 48°+50°

  AD^2 ≈ 110.841

  AD ≈ √110.841 ≈ 10.5281 . . . cm

__

(c) The area of ∆ABD can be found using the formula ...

  A = ab·sin(θ)/2 . . . . . where a=AB, b=BD, θ = 98°

  A = (8 cm)(5.82064 cm)sin(98°)/2 ≈ 23.0560 cm^2

_____

Angle ABD is the external angle of ∆BCD that is the sum of the remote interior angles BCD and BDC. Hence ∠ABD = 48° +50° = 98°.

You save $5,000.00 and invest 60% of it in stocks while leaving the rest in a savings account earning a 4.9% APR. The stock incr
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

5,340

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there:)

Amount invested in stock

=5000×0.6=3000

Amount invested in a saving account

5000-3000=2000


The stock increases 9% in the first year

3,000×(1+0.09)=3,270

and loses 4% of its value the second year

3,270×(1−0.04)=3,139.2

Amount of a saving account after two years

2,000×(1+0.049)^(2)=2,200.8


the total amount gained during the 2 years

3,139.2+2,200.8=5,340...answer


Hope it helps

Which equations are equivalent to Three-fourths + m = negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction? Select three options. m = Sta
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1)  m = negative StartFraction 10 over 4 EndFraction

2) m = negative five-halves

3) m = -\frac{7}{4} - \frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The given equation is:</u>

=> \frac{3}{4} +m = -\frac{7}{4}

Subtracting 3/4 to both sides

=> m = -\frac{7}{4} - \frac{3}{4}

=> m = \frac{-10}{4}

=> m = -\frac{5}{2}
