In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\  \end{gathered}

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}

Tuesday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}

Wednesday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}

Thursday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance light travels in one year is known as a light year.

1\ \text{light year}=5.87\times 10^{12}\ \text{miles}

The closest that Earth ever gets to Jupiter is 3.65\times 10^8\ \text{miles}

3.65\times 10^8\ \text{miles}=\dfrac{1}{5.87\times 10^{12}}\times 3.65\times 10^8\ \text{light years}\\\\=6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}

Hence, the distance it will take light to travel from Earth to Jupiter at this distance is 6.21\times 10^{-5}\ \text{light years}
