First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way. 
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate 
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

x≥(500-87)/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 500 lbs and already have 87 so you need at least 413 bags. You divide you 40 because they come in 40 pound bags. Round up so that you have the minimum number of bags necessary to reach 500 lbs of corn.

The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.9 and a standard deviation of
labwork [276]

Answer:

A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7

A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.

Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.

While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%

Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.

53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Let's confirm that.

Since mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;

μ = 247.9

σ = 64.7

μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442

Also;

μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8

Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;

(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%

What is the sequence of transformations that maps △ABC to △A′B′C′ ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly identify each s
torisob [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Any 1 of the following transformations will work. There are others that are also possible.

  • translation up 4 units, followed by rotation CCW by 90°.
  • rotation CCW by 90°, followed by translation left 4 units.
  • rotation CCW 90° about the center (-2, -2).
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The order of vertices ABC is clockwise, as is the order of vertices A'B'C'. Thus, if reflection is involved, there are two (or some other even number of) reflections.

The orientation of line CA is to the east. The orientation of line C'A' is to the north, so the figure has been rotated 90° CCW. In general, such rotation can be accomplished by a single transformation about a suitably chosen center. Here, we're told there is <em>a sequence of transformations</em> involved, so a single rotation is probably not of interest.

If we rotate the figure 90° CCW, we find it ends up 4 units east of the final position. So, one possible transformation is 90° CCW + translation left 4 units.

If we rotate the final figure 90° CW, we find it ends up 4 units north of the starting position. So, another possible transformation is translation up 4 units + rotation 90° CCW.

Of course, rotation 90° CCW in either case is the same as rotation 270° CW.

_____

We have described transformations that will work. What we don't know is what is in your drop-down menu lists. There are many other transformations that will also work, so guessing the one you have available is difficult.

Stefan's family rented a rototiller to prepare an area in their backyard for spring planting. The rental company charged an init
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: the hourly fee for the rototiller is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the hourly fee for renting the rototiller.

The rental company charged an initial fee of $43 with an additional fee per hour. Assuming that they rented the rototiller for x hours. This means that if they rented the rototiller for x hours, the total amount that they would pay is

43 + hx

If they paid $64 after renting the rototiller for 7 hours, the equation that models this problem would be

43 + 7h = 64

7h = 64 - 43 = 21

h = 21/7 = $3

Peter is making green paint by mixing blue and yellow paint in a cuboid container, shown below. The container has width of 30cm
dusya [7]

Answer: height = 17.5cm

Step-by-step explanation: Peter mixes blue and yellow paint in the ratio 2:3, which means:

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8.4}{x}

x = \frac{8.4*3}{2}

x = 12.6L

The container is full with the two paints, so total volume:

V = 12.6 + 8.4

V = 21L

Knowing that 1L = 1dm³ and sides of cuboid is measure in cm:

V = 21dm³ = 21000cm³

Volume of a cuboid is calculated as:

V = width*length*height

Height of the container is

height = \frac{V}{width*length}

height = \frac{21000}{30*40}

height = 17.5cm

The height of the container is 17.5cm.
