It is clearly mentioned in the question that each bottle of ibuprofen has 1000 pills.

Now, 1/4 bottle of ibuprofen is used to make the prescription.

So, if one bottle of ibuprofen has 1000 pills and 1/4 1/4 bottle of ibuprofen is used to make the prescription, then Jerome obviously used $\frac{1000}{4}=250$ pills of ibuprofen to make the prescription.

This can be further explained as follows:

1 bottle=1000 pills

$\therefore \frac{1}{4}$ bottle= $\frac{1000}{4}$ =250 pills.

Your utility company charges 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. What is the daily cost of keeping lit a 75 watt light bu

Tresset [83]

we know that

$1 Kw=1000 w$

The company charges $13$ cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity

$13 cents=0.13 dollars\\\\ 75w=\frac{75}{1000} kw\\\\ 15w=\frac{15}{1000} kw$

Step $1$

Find the cost for the light bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.9$

Cost=$ $0.117$

b) In a year

$\frac{75}{1000} *12=0.9\ kw\ hour$

$0.9*365=328.5\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*328.5$

Cost=$ $42.71$

Step $2$

Find the cost for the led bulb

a) in one day

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*0.18$

Cost=$ $0.0234$

b) In a year

$\frac{15}{1000} *12=0.18\ kw\ hour$

$0.18*365=65.7\ kw\ hour$

$Cost=0.13*65.7$

Cost=$ $8.54$

Step $3$

Find the difference in cost

$Save=42.71-8.54\\ Save=34.17 dollars$

therefore

the answer is

$34.17 dollars$

Ashley invests $9,720 in a one-month money market account paying 3.16% simple annual interest and $8,140 in a two-year CD yieldi

tester [92]

For the first investment. A = P(1 + rt); where p = 9,720, r = 0.0316 and t = 1/12
A = 9720(1 + 0.0316/12) = 9720(1.0026) = $9,746

For the second investment,
A = 8140(1 + 0.0323 x 2) = 8140(1.0646) = $8,666

Total amount she had = $9,746 + $8,666 = $18,412

A semi-ellipse-shaped gate has a maximum height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet, both measured along the center. Can a truck w

Free_Kalibri [48]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are given a semi-ellipse gate whose dimensions are as follows:

Height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet.

Now, if a truck is loaded then:

Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 16 feet

The truck won't pass through the gate since the width of truck is more than that of the gate.

When the truck is not loaded then:

Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 10 feet

The truck would easily pass through the gate since, the dimensions of truck are less than that of the gate.

Identify the triangle that contains an acute angle for which the sine and cosine ratios are equal. 1. Triangle A B C has angle m

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct option: (2) Triangle ABC that has angle measures 45°, 45° and 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a triangle ABC has an acute angle for which the sine and cosine ratios are equal to 1.

Let the acute angle be m∠A.

For the sine and cosine ratio of m∠A to be equal to 1, the value of Sine of m∠A should be same as value of Cosine of m∠A.

The above predicament is possible for only one acute angle, i.e. 45°, since the value of Sin 45° and Cos 45° is,

$Sin\ 45^{o} =Cos\ 45^{o} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

So for acute angle 45° the ratio of Sin 45° and Cos 45° is:

$\frac{Sin\ 45^{o}}{Cos\ 45^{o}} = \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } } = 1$

Hence one of the angles of a triangle is, m∠A = 45°.

Comparing with the options provided the triangle is,

Triangle ABC that has angle measures 45°, 45° and 90°.

Thus, the provided triangle is a right angled isosceles triangle, since it has two similar angles.
