Answer:

David gets 28 more than Dan

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim: Dan : David: total

3 : 1 : 5 : 3+1+5 = 9

Jim gets 21

21/3 = 7

Multiply each number by 7

Jim: Dan : David: total

3*7 : 1*7 : 5 *7 : 9*7

21 : 7 : 35 : 63

David has 35 and Dan has 7

35-7 = 28

David gets 28 more than Dan

A large tank is partially filled with 100 gallons of fluid in which 20 pounds of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 2 pound o

Valentin [98]

Answer:

47.25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}=R_{in}-R_{out}$

<u>First, we determine the Rate In</u>

Rate In=(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)

$=(0.5\frac{lbs}{gal})( 6\frac{gal}{min})\\R_{in}=3\frac{lbs}{min}$

Change In Volume of the tank, $\frac{dV}{dt}=6\frac{gal}{min}-4\frac{gal}{min}=2\frac{gal}{min}$

Therefore, after t minutes, the volume of fluid in the tank will be: 100+2t

Rate Out=(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)

$R_{out}=(\frac{A(t)}{100+2t})( 4\frac{gal}{min})\\\\R_{out}=\frac{4A(t)}{100+2t}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dA}{dt}=3-\dfrac{4A(t)}{100+2t}\\\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}=3-\dfrac{4A(t)}{2(50+t)}\\\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}=3-\dfrac{2A(t)}{50+t}\\\\\dfrac{dA}{dt}+\dfrac{2A(t)}{50+t}=3$

This is a linear differential equation in standard form, therefore the integrating factor:

$e^{\int \frac{2}{50+t}dt}=e^{2\ln|50+t|}=e^{\ln(50+t)^2}=(50+t)^2$

Multiplying the DE by the integrating factor, we have:

$(50+t)^2\dfrac{dA}{dt}+(50+t)^2\dfrac{2A(t)}{50+t}=3(50+t)^2\\\{(50+t)^2A(t)\}'=3(50+t)^2\\$Taking the integral of both sides\\\int \{(50+t)^2A(t)\}'= \int 3(50+t)^2\\(50+t)^2A(t)=(50+t)^3+C $ (C a constant of integration)\\Therefore:\\A(t)=(50+t)+C(50+t)^{-2}$

Initially, 20 pounds of salt was dissolved in the tank, therefore: A(0)=20

$20=(50+0)+C(50+0)^{-2}\\20-50=C(50)^{-2}\\C=-\dfrac{30}{(50)^{-2}} =-30X50^2=-75000$

Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank at any time t is:

$A(t)=(50+t)-75000(50+t)^{-2}$

After 15 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank is:

$A(15)=(50+15)-75000(50+15)^{-2}\\=47.25$ pounds$

Anna71 [15]

The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).

I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).
