Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$ pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.

Alchen [17]

Hi there! Osvoldo did not meet his goal.

(In my answering I suppose you mean 30%, 220 grams of carbohydrates and 55 grams of whole grains, if this is incorrect, please let me know)

Today Osvoldo ate 220 grams of carbohydrates.
10 % of 220 is 22 (divide by 10), and therefore 30 % of 220 is 22 * 3 = 66.

If at least 66 grams of Osvoldo's total consumption consisted of whole grains, he would have met his goal. However, he only ate 55 grams of whole grains (which is less than 66), and therefore he did not meet his goal.

Wanahton is cooking a breadstick on a rectangular baking sheet measuring 9\dfrac129

salantis [7]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The longest bread stick is approximately 16 in

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The diagram representing the tray is shown in the attached image

From the diagram, we can note that the diagonal of the tray represents the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle having legs 9.5 in and 13 in

<u>Therefore, to get the length of the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean equation which is as follows:</u>

c² = a² + b²

where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the length of the two legs

<u>Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the length of the hypotenuse as follows:</u>

c² = (9.5)² + (13)² = 259.25

c = 16.1 in which is approximately 16 in

<u>From the above, we can conclude that:</u>

The longest bread stick that can be fit straight along the diagonal of the tray is approximately 16 in

Hope this helps :)

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

uysha [10]

Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is $38.25\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

so

In this problem

$P=QR+RS+ST+QT$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

step 1

Find the distance QR

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$QR=10\ units$

step 2

Find the distance RS

$R(14, 16), S(20, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36}$

$RS=6\ units$

step 3

Find the distance ST

$S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$ST=8.25\ units$

step 4

Find the distance QT

$Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{196}$

$QT=14\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units$

Kathy has $50,000 to invest today and would like to determine whether it is realistic for her to achieve her goal of buying a ho

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a) About 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the interest rate required to achieve her goal, so we will need to use the interest-compound formula:

$FV=PV(1+i)^{n}$

Where:

PV= Present Value

i= interest rate

FV= Future Value

n= number of periods

replacing the data provided:

$150.000=50.000(1+i)^{10}$

solving for i:

first, divide both sides by 50.000 to simplify the equation:

$3=(1+i)^{10}$

Take $10^{th}$ roots of both sides:

$1+i=$ ± $\sqrt[10]{3}$

solve for i:

$i=$ ± $\sqrt[10]{3} -1$

We get two answers, but we look for a coherent value. So we take the positive one:

$i=11.6123174$ ≈12
