Here, we are required to determine after how many minutes will the two substances be at the same temperature.

The equation of when the two substances will be at the same temperature and the solution are as follows;

(a) The equation is 96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x).

(b) The solution is, x = 3.285minutes.

For substance A which is currently at 96.2° and rising at 1.5° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

T(a) = 96.2 + 1.5(x)

For substance B which is currently at 98.5° and rising at 0.8° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

T(b) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(a) For the two substances to be at the same temperature; T(a) must be equal to T(b).

T(a) = T(b)

The equation is therefore;.

96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(b) To determine the solution;

1.5x - 0.8x = 98.5 - 96.2

0.7x = 2.3

x = 2.3/0.7

x = 3.285minutes.

Write a summary about decimals that are equivalent to fractions with denominators of 10 or 100. EXTRA CREDIT

Flura [38]

Decimals that contain a zero in the tenth position can be thought of as a fraction over 100 as the tenth isn't occupied and the hundredth correlates to the 100 as a denominator. The same goes for a number with the tenth position occupied. These decimals would be put over 10 as they are occupying that position in the decimal.

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is of 0.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our test statistic is:

$t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the expected mean, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.
