Solution :

Given, A King Size waterbed has the following dimensions 72 in. x 84 in. x 9.5in. It takes 240.7 gallons of water to fill it, which would weigh 2071 pounds.

Volume of the King Size Waterbed, V = length X width X height

V= 72\:inch\times84\:inch\times9.5\:inch
\\\\V=57456\:cubic\: inch

We know that,

1 \:cubic\:inch=\frac{1}{1728} \:cubic\:foot\\\\
\Rightarrow57456 \:cubic\:inch=\frac{1}{1728} \times57456= 33.25\: cubic\:feet

Weight of  33.25 cubic foot water = 2071 pounds

Weight of  water in 1 cubic foot water = =\frac{2071}{33.25} =62.29\:pounds\:per\:cubic\:foot

Hence, Water weighs 62.29 pounds per cubic foot.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

                    principal     interest              total money in account

                                                                         at the end of year

Year one       $100             $4.5                              $104.5

year two        $200          $ 9 +$4.5                         $ 213.5

year three      $300          $ 9 +$4.5 + $13.5           $ 327

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest for any principal is given by

I = p* r* t/100

I = interest rate accrued on principle amount

p is the amount deposited

r is the rate of interest

t is the time period of saving

_______________________________________________

For year one

p = $100

r = 4.5%

t=1

I = 100*4.5*1/100 = 4.5

_______________________________________________

For year two $100 more is added to already existing $100 in account.

p = 100 +100 = $200

r = 4.5%

t=1

I = 200*4.5*1/100 = 9

_______________________________________________

For year two $100 more is added to already existing $200 in account after two years.

p = 100 +100 +100 = $300

r = 4.5%

t=1

I = 300*4.5*1/100 = 13.5

_______________________________________________

There fore total  money in Margo account is

$300 saving deposited by her

$4.5 + $9 + $13.5 = $27 (interest accrued in three time)

Formulating the results in tabular form

                     principal     interest    total money in account

                                                            at the end of year

Year one       100               4.5                      104.5

year two        200           9 +4.5                     213.5

year three      300           9 +4.5 + 13.5           327

You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr. Assuming that you obtain a full 5% increase each year, what wil
spayn [35]

Answer:

The equation for the amount of salary after x number of years is given by:

y = a(1+r)^x

where

a is the initial amount

x represents the number of years and

r represents the growth rate( in decimal)

As per the statement:

You begin your first day as a police officer earning $30,000/yr

⇒ a= 30,000

It is also given that you obtain a full 5% increase each year,

⇒r = 5\% = 0.05

then;

y = 30,000(1+0.05)^x    

y = 30,000(1.05)^x       ....[1]

we have to find the salary in three years.

⇒x = 3

Substitute this value in [1] we have

y = 30,000(1.05)^3

Simplify:

y = \$ 34,4728.75

therefore, your salary be in three years will be $34,4728.75

a(0.3−y)+1.1+2.4x (y−1.2) ​ =0 =−1.2(x−0.5) ​ Consider the system of equations above, where aaa is a constant. For which value o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

For a = 1.22 there is one solution where y = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the system of equations:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

Let´s solve the second equation for x:

-1.2(x-0.5) = 0

x- 0.5 = 0

x = 0.5

Now let´s repalce x = 0.5 and y = 1.3 in the first equation and solve it for a:

a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0

a(0.3 - 1.3) + 1.1 + 2.4(0.5)(1.3 -1.2) = 0

a(-1) + 1.1 + 1.2(0.1) = 0

-a + 1.22 = 0

-a = -1.22

a = 1.22

Let´s check the solution and solve the system of equations with a = 1.22. Let´s solve the first equation for y:

1.22(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4(0.5)(y-1.2) = 0

0.366 - 1.22y + 1.1 + 1.2 y - 1.44 = 0

-0.02y +0.026 = 0

-0.02y = -0.026

y = -0.026 / -0.02

y = 1.3

Then, the answer is correct.

Have a nice day!

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin
djyliett [7]

Answer:

A)  (7.6, 8.8)

which are the coordinates of the treasure.

Missing Problem Statement:

Given Options:

A) (11.4, 14.2)

B) (7.6, 8.8)

C) (5.7, 7.5)

D) (10.2, 12.6)

I have added the picture showing the traced map onto a coordinate plane to find exact location of treasure.

The coordinates of Tree are (16,21)

Coordinates of rock are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Coordinates of treasure be (a,b)

d_{1}= distance from tree to treasure

d_{2}=distance from rock to treasure

d_{1}=\sqrt{(16-x)^2 + (21-y)^2}

d_{2}=\sqrt{x\2 + (y-2)^2}

Given ratio between rock and tree, \frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}= 0.55_______(Equation.1)

which will be used to locate the treasure.

Now we just need to cross check by putting the coordinates given in the options one by one to find out value of d_{1},d_{2} and checking if it satisfies the Equation 1.

Check (A) (11.4, 14.2)

d_{2}= 14.8, d_{1}= 8.2,

\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}= 1.8

Check (C) (5.7, 7.5)

d_{2}= 6.13, d_{1}= 16.98,

\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}= 0.36

Check (D) (10.2, 12.6)

d_{2}= 12.8, d_{1}= 10.2,

\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}= 1.25

Check (B) (7.6, 8.8)

d_{2}= 8.2, d_{1}= 14.8,

\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}= 0.55

Which satisfies Equation 1, such that ratio between rock and tree is 5:9 or  \frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}= 0.55

So, the coordinates of the treasure are (B) (7.6, 8.8)

Bill, bob, and barry are hired to paint signs. in 8 hours bill can paint 1 sign, bob can paint 2 signs, and barry can paint 1 an
OLEGan [10]
Define rates at which the individuals paint.
Bill:  x = 1/8  signs/h
Bob: y = (2 signs)/(8 h) = 1/4  signs/h
Barry: z = (4/3 signs)/(8 h) = 1/6 signs/h

The job is to paint 2 signs, working together.

In the first 3 hours, the amount painted is
(x+y+z signs/h)*(3 h) = (1/8 + 1/4 + 1/6)*3 = 13/8 signs
Remaining: 2 - 13/8 = 3/8 signs

Barry quits.
In the next 1/2 hour (30 minutes), the amount painted is
(x + y signs/h)*(0.5 h) = (1/8 + 1/4)*0.5 = 3/16 signs
Remaining: 3/8 - 3/16 = 3/16 signs

Now Bob quits.
The time for Bill to finish the job is
(3/16  signs)/(1/8 signs/h) = 3/2 h

Answer: Bill finishes the job in 1.5 hours (or 1 hour, 30 minutes)
