After reducing the fraction it becomes equal to 5/12. Let the common element which was cancelled out be x. So we can say the original fraction was \frac{5x}{12x}.

The denominator of the fraction is 147 greater than the numerator. We can write it as:

12x = 147 + 5x

12x - 5x = 147

7x = 147

x = 21

So, the numerator of the fraction was 5 x 21 = 105
Denominator of the fraction was 12 x 21 = 252

So our original fraction was \frac{105}{252}

Alinara [238K]
Scenarios B, D, and F require a police officer. In scenario B, 1:00-2:00pm, and scenario F, 5:00-6:00pm, there are 24 cars. In scenario D, 3:00-4:00pm, there are 21 cars. Both 24 and 21 are greater than 17, so a traffic officer is needed. However, in other scenarios, the number of cars are all less than 17, and no officer is needed.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The mass of liquid water = 50 g

The initial temperature = T_1 = 15°c

The final temperature = T_2  = 100°c

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260.0 J/g

Let The amount of heat required to raise temperature = Q Joule

Now, From method

Heat = mass × latent heat × change in temperature

Or, Q = m × s × ΔT

or, Q =  m × s × ( T_2 - T_1 )

So, Q = 50 g × 2260.0 J/g × ( 100°c - 15°c )

Or, Q =  50 g × 2260.0 J/g × 85°c

∴   Q = 9,605,000  joule

Or, Q =  9,605 × 10³ joule

Or, Q = 9605 kilo joule

Hence The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid water is 9605 kilo joule . Answer
