3 0

Answer:

Part a) 920 rods

Part b) 2,530 fathoms

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The Kentucky Derby distance is 23 furlongs

Part a) How far is the Kentucky Derby in rods?

Remember that

$1\ furlong= 40\ rods$

To convert furlongs to rods multiply by 40

$23\ furlongs=23(40)=920\ rods$

Part b) How far is the Kentucky Derby in fathoms?

Remember that

$1\ furlong= 110\ fathoms$

To convert furlongs to fathoms multiply by 110

$23\ furlongs=23(110)=2,530\ fathoms$

If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is

Harrizon [31]

Answer: If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the customer's total amount.

It is given that 15% of the customer's total = $22.05

⇒15% of x= $22.05

$\Rightarrow0.15x=\$22.05\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on both sides, we get}\22.05\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{22.05}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$147$

Therefore, If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

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

Mr.Walden wrote the expression. He asked his students to write an equivalent expression of simplified form.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

option D

Brianna

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the expression wrote by Mr.Walden

$\frac{p^{-5} }{q^{0} }$

To write the simplified form of this expression we will use negative rule of exponent

$b^{-n}$ = 1 / $b^{n}$

$q^{-5} = \frac{1}{q^{5} }$

so,

$\frac{1}{q^{5} x q^{0} }$

$\frac{1}{q^{5} p^{0} }$

Only Brianna wrote right simplification of the expression written by Mr.Walden

How would you choose to reduce the system shown to a 2 × 2? Explain why you would choose this approach. –3x + y – 2z = 10 (1) 5x

gladu [14]

-3x + y - 2z = 10 |* -1
3x - y +2z = -10
5x -2y -2z = 12
--------------------------- I add these equations term by term
8x - 3y = 2

-3x + y - 2z =10 ⇒ -3x + y - 2z =10
x -y +z = 23 | *2 2x - 2y + 2z = 46
----------------------------- I add these eq.
-x -y = 56

8x - 3y = 2
-x -y = 56

this is the system after i reduce it ( it has only two variables x and y)
