Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Japan

Step-by-step explanation:

Mobile cost in Spain = € 352.5

Mobile cost in Japan = ¥39856

Exchange rate = £1 = €1.41

                           £1 = ¥188

Cost of mobile in pounds

                       £ 1 ------------------ € 1.41

                        x  -----------------   €352.5

                       x = (352.5 x 1) / 1.41

                       x= £250

                      £1   ------------------  ¥188

                      x    ----------------- -¥ 39856

                     x = (39856 x 1) / 188

                     x = £212

Then, it was cheaper in Japan

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached AB is the light house of height 200 feet.

Angle of depression of the boat from the top of a lighthouse = angle of elevation of the lighthouse from the boat = 14°52'

so 1' = \frac{1}{60} degree

so angle of elevation at point C = 14 + \frac{52}{60}

So angle of elevation from C = (14 + 0.87) = 14.87°

Similarly, when boat arrives at point D angle of elevation = 45°10' = 45 + \frac{10}{60} = 45.17°

Now we have to calculate the distance CD, traveled by the boat.

In ΔABC

tan14.87 = \frac{200}{BC}

0.2655 =  \frac{200}{BC}

BC = \frac{200}{0.26552}

BC = 753.239 feet

Similarly in ΔABD

tan45.17 = \frac{200}{BD}

1 = \frac{200}{BD}

BD = 200 feet

So distance CD = BC - BD

CD = 753.239 - 200

     = 553.24 feet

Therefore, Boat traveled 553.24 feet towards the lighthouse.
