Answer:

A: C = 2: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.

Further explanantion (2nd image):

The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of

A: C= 2: 1.

☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.

3B: 2C

= 36: 15

= 12: 5

Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:

2A: 3B

= 10: 12

Combining the 2 ratios together,

2A: 3B: 2C

= 10: 6: 5

2A: 2C

= 10: 5

= 2: 1

A: C= 2: 1

The dye dilution method is used to measure cardiac output with 3 mg of dye. The dye concentrations, in mg/L, are modeled by c(t)

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Cardiac output: $F=0.055 L\s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The dye dilution method is used to measure cardiac output with 3 mg of dye.

To Find : Find the cardiac output.

Solution:

Formula of cardiac output: $F=\frac{A}{\int\limits^T_0 {c(t)} \, dt}$ ---1

A = 3 mg

$\int\limits^T_0 {c(t)} \, dt =\int\limits^{10}_0 {20te^{-0.06t}} \, dt$

Do, integration by parts

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0=[20t\int{e^{-0.6t} \,dt}-\int[\frac{d[20t]}{dt}\int {e^{-0.6t} \, dt]dt]^{10}_0$

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0=[\frac{-20te^{-0.6t}}{0.6}+\frac{20}{0.6}\int {e^{-0.6t} \,dt]^{10}_0$

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0=[\frac{-20te^{-0.6t}}{0.6}+\frac{20e^{-0.6t}}{(0.6)^2}]^{10}_{0}$

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0=[\frac{-200e^{-6}}{0.6}+\frac{20e^{-6}}{(0.6)^2}]+\frac{20}{(0.60^2}$

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0=\frac{20(1-e^{-6}}{(0.6)^2}-\frac{200e^{-6}}{0.6}$

$[\int{20te^{-0.6t}} \, dt]^{10}_0\sim {54.49}$

Substitute the value in 1

Cardiac output: $F=\frac{3}{54.49}$

Cardiac output: $F=0.055 L\s$

Hence Cardiac output: $F=0.055 L\s$

The sum of 23.8 and a number is 28.17, as shown below. What number should go in the box to complete the addition problem?

gregori [183]

Since there is no picture to show the box, all I can say is that 28.17- 23.8 = 4.37 and 23.8 + 4.37 = 28.17

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.

fredd [130]

Let d = the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.
