The Sahara Desert has an area of approximately 9,400,400 km2. While estimates of its average depth vary, they center around 150

m. One cm3 holds approximately 8,000 grains of sand.
e) A small dump truck can carry approximately 20.5 m3 of sand. Suppose a long line of dump trucks were to dump a load of sand every 30 seconds. How many years would it take to re-create the Sahara Desert?

It would take 65433661 years to re-create the Sahara Desert

<h3>How many years would it take to re-create the Sahara Desert?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Surface area = 9,400,400 km^2

Depth = 150 m

This means that the volume is

Volume = Surface area * Depth

So, we have

Volume = 9,400,400 km^2 * 150 m

Express as meter square

Volume = 9,400,400 * 1000000 m^2 * 150 m

Evaluate the product

Volume = 9,400,400 * 150,000,000 m^3

A small dump holds 20.5 m^3 for 30 seconds.

So, the duration is:

Time = (9,400,400 * 150,000,000 m^3)/(20.5 m^3 per 30 seconds)

Evaluate the product and quotient

Time =  2.0635024e+15 seconds

1 second = 3.171e-8 year.

So, we have:

Time =  2.0635024e+15 * 3.171e-8 year

Evaluate the product

Time = 65433661.104 years

Approximate

Time = 65433661 years

Hence, it would take 65433661 years to re-create the Sahara Desert

Answer:

1 1/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if running 1 lap around a track is 1/2 miles then all we have to do is add it up

so we know that 1/2 miles is one lap

so if he runs two laps we would have run 1 mile

now that we know that he would have ran 1 mile in 2 laps then all we have to do it just add 1 more 1/2 mile in which would give u the answer of 1 1/2 miles or 1.5 miles

Please Help!<br><br> Car X travels 174 miles in 3 hours.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The graph =

<h3>y = 58x</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

distance covered (y) = 174 miles

time taken (x) = 3 hours

Therefore the points = (3, 174) and (0, 0) = stationary position

Find the gradient (m)

m = 174-0 / 3-0

m = 58

Therefore the equation =

<h3>y = 58x</h3>

(distance = 58 × time)

For the distance = 174 and time = 3 hours, the equation to find either distance or time = y = 58x

(b) the graph is constant, because the time and distance are also contant when the speed used is the same.
