A ship is carrying gold bars and silver bars in the ratio 13:17. The ship's load

1 answer:

4 0

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]

Question:

? Liter equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

How do we do it?´

Answer:

13 liter is equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

Solution:

Given that,

? Liter equivalent to 0.000 000 000 013 cubic kilometers

So we have to convert cubic kilometer to liter

Use the following conversion factor

$1\ km^3 = 1000000000000\ liter$

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,

$t = 15.177$

$t = - 13.177$

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

$t \approx15$
