Answer: The side length of the cube is 2.27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given, then let's solve this in a general way.

We know that the density of gold is 19.3g/cm^3.

We also know that 1 oz = 28.35g.

And we know the relation:

Density = mass/volume.

Now, let's find the volume of 8 ounces of gold.

First, let's rewrite the density changing the units, from grams to ounces.

We know that:

1 oz = 28.35g

(1 oz/28.35g) = 1.

Then if we multiply the density by this ( that is equal to 1) we can change the units and leave the actual quantity invariant.

d =  19.3g/cm^3 =  19.3g/cm^3*(1 oz/28.35g) = 0.68 oz/cm^3

Now let's use the equation for the density, knowing this time that the mass is 8 ounces.

0.68 oz/cm^3 = mass/volume = 8oz/V

Let's find the value of V

0.68 oz/cm^3 = 8oz/V

V = 8oz/0.68 oz/cm^3 = 11.76 cm^3

Now, we know that this is a cube.

Remember that the volume of a cube of side length L is:

V = L^3

Then we have:

L^3 = 11.76 cm^3

L = ∛11.76 cm^3 = 2.27 cm

The side length of the cube is 2.27cm

13. En un pueblo, 5 personas escucharon una noticia. En una hora, cada una de ellas
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.
