We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
Answer:
My best answer is that the probability is 35/100 that the student chosen at random owns neither a laptop nor a mobile phone.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you go back and read the introductory passage, you will notice it says, "In a group of 100 students... 35 own either a laptop or a mobile phone, but not both." And I think the other numbers, I.E. 25 and 40, were just meant to throw us off. Therefore, I think 35/100 is the probability.
I would add 7 to get ...
... 2x² = 16
then divide by 2 to get
... x² = 8
Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.
... x = ±√8
The root can be simplified, so we have ...
... x = ±2√2
_____
The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.
... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9
... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula
... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result
Answer:
$12.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of 0.8 liter bottle of Mexican wine = 101 pesos
or
cost of 1 liter bottle of Mexican wine = 
pesos
Now,
1 Mexican pesos = 0.051 dollars
thus,
cost of 1 liter bottle of Mexican wine = 
dollars
also,
1 gallon = 3.78541 Liter
Thus,
half gallon = 
= 1.892705 Liters
therefore,
cost of half gallon jug = 
dollars
or
cost of half gallon jug of wine = $12.18
The volume of a stack of identical circular drink coasters, each 1 centimeter thick, can be found using the function v(r)=8(3.14)(r)^2, where r is the radius of a coaster. What does the constant 8 in the function represent?
The constant 8 represents the height of the stack and hence the number of coasters.
