Answer: let the common multiple be x..

according to given condition,

2x + x +x =36

4x = 9

Peter = 2x = 2 ×9 = £18

Gordon = Gavin = x = £9

Hope this helps have a amazing day bye!

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, the Pythagorean Inequality Theorem states that the two smallest angles should add up to be more than the third angle.

4+6=10

11 is bigger than 10, still.

Therefore, no the triangle is not possible.

A cube-shaped water tank having 6 ft side lengths is being filled with water. The bottom is solid metal but the sides of the tan

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

0.033 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = 32.2 ft/s2 and h be the maximum height that water can be filled before the sides shatter.

Pressure is distributed from 0 to maximum at the bottom like the following equation:

$P = \rho gh$

So the force generated by water pressure on the side of the tank is

$F = PA = \rho ghs/2$

where s = 6ft is the side length of the tank. This force cannot be larger than 200lb

$\rho ghs/2 \leq 200$

$62.4*32.2*h*6/2 \leq 200$

$h \leq 0.033 ft$

Answer:

P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can me modelled with an exponencial formula:

P = Po * (1+r)^t

Where P is the final value, Po is the inicial value, r is the rate and t is the amount of time.

In this problem, we have that the inicial population/value is 27000, the rate is -8/9 (negative because the population decays), and the time t is in months, so as the rate is for every 4 months, we use the value (t/4) in the exponencial.

So, our function will be:

P(t) = 27000 * (1-8/9)^(t/4)

P(t) = 27000 * (1/9)^(t/4)

Mia is 7.01568 x 10^6 minutes old. Convert her age to more appropriate units using years, months, and days. Assume every other m

pshichka [43]

Answer:

There are 13 years 6 months and 12 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the scientific notation to standard form of minutes

7.01568x10^6 =7015680 minutes

Now, let's convert this to number of days because each day has 24*60=1440 minutes.

So, number of days in 7015680 minutes is $\frac{7015680}{1440}$ =4872 days

Now, change this 4872 days to years, months and days.

We know 1 year has 12 months and one month has 30 days.

So,

Number of years = $\frac{4872} {12*30}$ =13.53333333 years

Now, convert 0.53333333 years to months.

0.53333333*12=6.4 months.

Now, convert 0.4 months to days.

0.4* 30 =12 days.

So, there are 13 years 6 months and 12 days.
