Answer:

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Length of ribbon = 20 meters

Length needed to be cut = 15 cm

We will convert meters into centimeters.

1 meter = 100 cm

20 meters = 2000 cm

Number of pieces = $\frac{2000}{15}$

Number of pieces = 133.33

Rounding off to nearest whole number = 133

Hence,

133 pieces of 15cm can be cut from the ribbon.

Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so

Georgia [21]

In order to construct this equation, we will use the variables:
V to represent mixture volume (40 ml)
C to represent mixture concentration (0.32)
v₁ to represent volume of first solution (40 / 4 = 10 ml)
c₁ to represent concentration of first solution (0.2)
v₂ to represent the volume of the second solution (40 * 3/4 = 30 ml)
c₂ to represent the concentration of the second solution

We know that the total amount of substance, product of the volume and concentration, in the final solution is equal to the individual amounts in the two given solutions. Thus:
VC = v₁c₁ + v₂c₂
40(0.32) = 10(0.2) + 30c

Nathan is out rafting. He rafts 16 miles with the river current. At the end of 16 miles, he turns around and rafts the same dist

Novosadov [1.4K]

S = d/t

st = d

t = d/s

The time going is t1.
The time returning is t2.
The total time is 4 hours, so we have t1 + t2 = 4

The speed of the current is c.
The speed going is 9 + c.
The speed returning is 9 - c.

t1 = 16/(9 + c)

t2 = 16/(9 - c)

t1 + t2 = 16/(9 + c) + 16/(9 - c)

4 = 16/(9 - c) + 16/(9 + c)

1 = 4/(9 - c) + 4/(9 + c)

(9 + c)(9 - c) = 4(9 - c) + 4(9 + c)

81 - c^2 = 36 - 4c + 36 + 4c

81 - c^2 = 72

c^2 = 9

c^2 - 9 = 0

(c + 3)(c - 3) = 0

c + 3 = 0 or c - 3 = 0

c = -3 or c = 3

We discard the negative answer, and we get c = 3.

The speed of the current is 3 mph.

Answer:

A = 250(1 + 0.016)^0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 months = 0.75 years

So A = 250(1 + 0.016)^0.75.
