Answer: 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

A pond had 60 fish but 10 were added so now the pond has 70 fish.

The probability of choosing a carp is 1/2 so \frac{1}{2} (70) = 35 are now carp.  

There were 27 carp and now there are 35 carp so 8 carp were added.

10 fish were added and 8 of them were carp so 2 of them were tench.

a rectangular piece of paper 71 cm long and 10m wide . a cylinder is formed by rolling the paper along its length , find volume
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Volume=355 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it should be 10 cm, not 10 m.  If it is 10 m, everything will have to be adjusted.

Circumference = 2\pir

10=2\pir

10÷2\pi=r

1.59=r

V=\pir²h

V=\pi(1.59)(71)

v=355

It takes 8 minutes for Byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. When his younger sister is impa
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Let us say that the procedure of completely filling up the pool with water is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of the equipment in doing the job would be:

<span>Rate of handheld hose = 1 job / 8 minutes                  ---> 1</span>

<span>Rate of lawn sprinkler = r                                             ---> 2</span>

<span>Rate of the two combines = 1 job/ 5 minutes               ---> 3</span>

So we are to find the equation to use, in this case, we simply have to add equations 1 and 2 to get 3:

1 / 8 + r = 1 / 5

Multiplying both sides by 5:

<span>(5 / 8) + 5 r = 1                                                               ---> ANSWER</span>

A tank contains 8000 L of pure water. Brine that contains 35 g of salt per liter of water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 2
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The concentration of salt in the tank approaches 35 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L},

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provide in the question:

Water contained in the tank = 8000 L

Salt per litre contained in Brine = 35 g/L

Rate of pumping water into the tank = 25 L/min

Concentration of salt \lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} C(t)=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \frac{35 t}{320+t}

Now,

Dividing both numerator and denominator by t, we have

\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{t} 35 t}{\frac{1}{t}(320+t)}=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \frac{35}{\frac{320}{t}+1}=35

Here,

The concentration of salt in the tank approaches 35 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L},
