To solve this problem, all we have to do is to thoroughly analyze the situation step by step.

First let us work on the remaining 10 gallons of water in the tank. We are given that 2 / 3 of the water initially in the tank leaked out. Therefore this means that we are left with 1 / 3 the original amount of water which is 10 gallons, hence:

(1 / 3) Vi = 10 gallons

where Vi is the initial volume of water inside the tank, calculating for Vi:

Vi = 3 (10 gallons)

Vi = 30 gallons

 

We are also given that this initial volume of water is just 3 / 4 of the total capacity of the tank, therefore:

(3 / 4) Vc = Vi

where Vc is the volume capacity of the tank, calculating for Vc:

Vc = 4 Vi / 3

Vc = 4 (30 gallons) / 3

Vc = 40 gallons

 

Answer:

<span>Capacity of the fish tank is 40 gallons</span>

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

  Over 2 oz. Class A-II felony

Step-by-step explanation:

One would need to carefully weigh the material.*

  0.06 kg ≈ 2.12 oz

Note that .06 kg is 1 significant figure, so this rounds to 2 oz (1 significant figure). Given the precision of the reported weight, there is insufficient precision to say the amount is actually over 2 oz.

__

If you take the numbers at face value, the suspect is in possession of over 2 oz, so will be charged with a Class A-II felony.

_____

* 2.00 ounces translates to about 0.0567 kg, which rounds to 0.06 kg.

What fraction of 30 is 12
zloy xaker [14]

Call the mystery fraction ' F ' (for 'fraction').

12 is the mystery fraction of 30 .

                                             12  =  F x 30

Divide each side by  30 :      F  =  12/30  =  2/5 .

frozen [14]

Answer:

$6,020,826.711

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present value of that year salary is shown below:

As we know that

Present value in case of continuous compounding, the formula is

= \frac{Guaranteed\ amount}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

where,

The Guaranteed amount is $9,000,000

The Time period is 6 years

And, the interest rate is 6.7%

Now placing these values

So, the present value is

= \frac{\$9,000,000}{e^{0.067 \times 6}}

= $6,020,826.711
