Answer:

C. 199.9 s

Explanation:

3 minutes = 3×60 = 180 seconds.

the turtle moves in that time 180×10 = 1800 cm.

in other words the rabbit gave it that much head-start (it does not matter if that was at the begin of in the middle of the race).

the rabbit moves with 10×10cm/s = 100cm/s.

the rabbit needs therefore 1800/100 = 18 seconds for the

1800 cm.

at that time the turtle has added another 18×10 = 180 cm.

for which the rabbit needs 180/100 = 1.8 seconds.

during that time the turtle has added 1.8×10 = 18 cm.

and so on.

in formal mathematics this looks like this :

1800 + 10x = 100x

after x seconds of the rabbit running both will have run the same distance, and it is a tie.

1800 = 90x

x = 20 seconds

so, at that point, the rabbit was actively running for 20 seconds and raced 20×100 = 2000 cm

and the turtle was actively running for 180 + 20 = 200 seconds, and also covered 200×10 = 2000 cm.

but our question tells us that the turtle won by 10 cm.

so, the race was over a little bit before these 200 seconds (for a tie).

this means, the rabbit could not run the last 10 cm for the tie (because the race was over and the turtle had won).

the rabbit would have needed 10/100 seconds for these 10 cm.

as speed = distance/time

we need to divide distance by speed

distance/1 / distance/time

to get time.

so,

10cm/1 / 100cm/s = 10s/100 = 1/10 s

so, we need to deduct this 1/10 s from the 200 seconds of the turtle (and also from the 20 seconds for the rabbit).

the race lasted of course the whole time the turtle was running (while the rabbit was resting, officially still participating in the race with speed 0 for 3 minutes).

and so, the race was 199.9 s long.

What is the mass of 2000 ml of an intravenous glucose solution with a density of 1.15 g/ml?
Scorpion4ik [409]

According to the following formula, the answer is 2,300 g or 2.3 kg:

Volume (m)/Mass (m) Equals Density (p) (V)

Here, the density is 1.15 g/mL, allowing the formula described above to result in a mass of 2.00 L:

p=m/V

1.15 g/mL is equal to x g/2.00 L or x g/2,000 mL.

2,000 mL of x g = 1.15 g of g/mL

2.3 kg or 2,300 g for x g.

<h3>How many grams of glucose are in a 1000ml bag of glucose 5?</h3>

Its active ingredient is glucose. This medication includes 50 g of glucose per 1000 ml (equivalent to 55 g glucose monohydrate). 50 mg of glucose is present in 1 ml (equivalent to 55 mg glucose monohydrate). A transparent, nearly colourless solution of glucose in water is what is used in glucose intravenous infusion (BP) at 5% weight-to-volume.

Patients who are dehydrated or who have low blood sugar levels get glucose intravenously. Other medications may be diluted with glucose intravenous infusion before being injected into the body. Other diseases and disorders not covered above may also be treated with it.
