Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

? Liter equivalent to 0,000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers
Amiraneli [1.4K]

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

? Liter equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

How do we do it?´

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

13 liter is equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

? Liter equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

So we have to convert cubic kilometer to liter

<em><u>Use the following conversion factor</u></em>

1\ km^3 = 1000000000000\ liter

Therefore,

0.000 000 000 013\ km^3 = 0.000 000 000 013 \times 1000000000000\ liter\\\\0.000 000 000 013\ km^3 = 13\ liter

Thus, 13 liter is equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen
Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

y = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

y = 3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

3 {t}^{2}  - 2 {t}^{2}   + t  - 3t +  300 - 500 =00

{t}^{2}  - 2t  - 200= 0

We solve for t to get,

t = 15.177

Or

t =  - 13.177

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

t \approx15
