Answer:

44.125 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of picture = 32 1/2 inches

Length of wall = 120 3/4 inches

Hence, to center picture horizontally ;

Distance from the edge of the wall in which the picture should be placed :

(Length of wall - length of picture) / 2

(120 3/4 - 32 1/2) / 2

(483/4 - 65/2) / 2

Take the L. C. M of 4 and 2 = 4

((483 - 130) / 4) ÷ 2

(353 / 4) ÷ 2

(353 / 4) * (1 / 2)

= 353 / 8

= 44 1/8

= 44 1/8

= 44.125 inches

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

A boat tour guide expects his tour to travel at a rate of x mph on the first leg of the trip

On the return route, the boat travels against the current, decreasing the boat's rate by 10 mph

The group needs to travel an average of at least 24 mph

<em><u>Given inequality is:</u></em>

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}$

<em><u>We have to solve the inequality</u></em>

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}\\\\\frac{2}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{2}{24}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \frac{2}{24}-\frac{2}{24}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \:0$

$\frac{2}{x}-\frac{10}{1}-\frac{2}{24} \geq 0\\\\\frac{ 2 \times 24}{x \times 24} -\frac{10 \times 24}{1 \times 24} - \frac{2 \times x }{24 \times x}\geq 0\\\\\frac{48}{24x}-\frac{240x}{24x}-\frac{2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions\\\\\frac{48-240x-2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Add\:similar\:elements\\\\\frac{48-242x}{24x}\ge \:0$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}24\\\\\frac{24\left(48-242x\right)}{24x}\ge \:0\cdot \:24\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{48-242x}{x}\ge \:0\\\\Factor\ common\ terms\\\\\frac{-2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\ge \:0\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1\mathrm{\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}$

When we multiply or divide both sides by negative number, then we must flip the inequality sign

$\frac{\left(-2\left(121x-24\right)\right)\left(-1\right)}{x}\le \:0\cdot \left(-1\right)\\\\\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\le \:0\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\\\frac{\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}}{2}\le \frac{0}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{121x-24}{x}\le \:0$

$\mathrm{Find\:the\:signs\:of\:the\:factors\:of\:}\frac{121x-24}{x}\\$

This is attached as figure below

From the attached table,

$\mathrm{Identify\:the\:intervals\:that\:satisfy\:the\:required\:condition:}\:\le \:\:0\\\\0$

<em><u>Therefore, solution set is given as</u></em>:

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x}-10\ge \frac{2}{24}\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:0$

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The mass of liquid water = 50 g

The initial temperature = $T_1$ = 15°c

The final temperature = $T_2$ = 100°c

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260.0 J/g

Let The amount of heat required to raise temperature = Q Joule

Now, From method

Heat = mass × latent heat × change in temperature

Or, Q = m × s × ΔT

or, Q = m × s × ( $T_2$ - $T_1$ )

So, Q = 50 g × 2260.0 J/g × ( 100°c - 15°c )

Or, Q = 50 g × 2260.0 J/g × 85°c

∴ Q = 9,605,000 joule

Or, Q = 9,605 × 10³ joule

Or, Q = 9605 kilo joule

Hence The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule . Answer

Julian is using a biking app that compares his position to a simulated biker traveling Julian's target speed. When Julian is beh

Gwar [14]

Answer:

11 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Simulated speed = 20/km/h

Time = 15 mins = 1/4 hr = 0.25 hr

Distance Covered as per simulated speed = $20\times \frac{1}{4}=5km$

Position of Julian according to the app = $-2\frac{1}{4}=-2.25$ .

Actual distance covered by the bike is

$Distance= 5 - 2.25 = 2.75km$

Formula for speed:

$\text{Average Speed}=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$\text{Average Speed}=\frac{2.75}{0.25}$

$\text{Average Speed}=11$

Therefore, the average speed of Julian is 11 km/hr.
