An open-topped glass aquarium with a square base is designed to hold 444 cubic feet of water. What is the minimum exterior surfa

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

291.05ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the aquarium = L³

L is the length of one side of the aquarium

444 = L³

L = cuberoot[444]

L= 7.63ft

Since the glass aquarium is opened at the top

Total surface Area = 5L²

Total surface Area = 5(7.63)²

Total surface Area = 291.05ft²

Hence the minimum exterior surface area of the aquarium is 291.05ft²

field biologist collects 220 butterflies and moths. He collects 4 butterflies for every moth. How many butterflies and how many

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The number of butterflies he collects = 176

The number of moth he collects = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with ratio.

We are told in the question that:He collects 4 butterflies for every moth.

Hence, the ratio of

Butterflies : Moth

4 : 1

Sum of the proportion = 4 + 1 = 5

We are also told he has a total of 220 butterflies and moths.

Hence:

The number of butterflies he collects is calculated as

4/5 × 220 = 176 butterflies

The number of moth that he collects =

1/5 × 220 = 44 moth

Find the 61st term of -12, -28, -44,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$a_{61}=-972$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences</u>

The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)r$

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r = common difference

n = number of the term

We are given the first terms of a sequence:

-12, -28, -44,...

Find the common difference by subtracting consecutive terms:

r = -28 - (-12) = -16

r = -44 - (-28) = -16

The first term is a1 = -12. Now we calculate the term n=61:

$a_{61}=-12+(61-1)(-16)$

$a_{61}=-12-60*16=-12-960$

$\mathbf{a_{61}=-972}$

Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The price of a pint of veggies is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to equations and solve them to find

the answer

- Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting

- He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints

of cut fruit

- The food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v + 7 f = 28.70, where

v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents

the cost of one pint of cut fruit

∴ The first equation is 5 v + 7 f = 28.70 ⇒ (1)

- The cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85

∵ f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit

∴ f = 2.85

- Substitute the value of f in equation (1) to find the value of v

∵ 5 v + 7 f = 28.70 ⇒ (1)

∵ f = 2.85

∴ 5 v + 7 (2.85) = 28.70

∴ 5 v + 19.95 = 28.70

- Subtract 19.95 from each side

∴ 5 v = 8.75

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ v = 1.75

∵ v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies

∴ The price of a pint of veggies is $1.75
