Answer: 2.1 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Time taken by the first pipe to fill  a tank = 3 hours

Time taken by the second pipe to fill the tank = 7 hours

If both pipes were used at the same time,  then the time taken (t) by both of them to fill the tank ( together) will be :-

\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3+7}{3\times7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{10}{21}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{21}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=2.1

Therefore, time taken to fill the tank = 2.1 hours.

Answer:

2.1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: One pipe can fill a tank with oil in 3 hours. A second smaller pipe can fill the same tank in 7 hours.

TO FIND: If both pipes were used at the same time, how long would they take to fill the tank.

SOLUTION:

Let x be the time taken by both pipes together.

Let total capacity of tank be  =t

Total oil filled by first pipe in one hour =\frac{t}{3}

Total oil filled by second pipe in one hour =\frac{t}{7}

Total oil filled in one hour if both pipes are opened =\frac{10t}{21}

Total time taken by both pipes open together x=\frac{t}{\frac{10t}{21}}

x=2.1 hour

Hence it would taken 2.1 hour if both pipes are opened together.

The root \sqrt{10} can be converted into the power 10^{ \frac{1}{2} }. Therefore we can rewrite the problem as (10^{ \frac{1}{2} } )^ {\frac{3}{4} x} and then follow the exponent rules about a power to a power, multiplying 1/2 and 3/4 together.

Thus the problem becomes 10^{\frac{3}{8}x}, which then can be turned into \sqrt[8]{10} ^{3x}, making the last option our answer.

the half-life of uranium -238 is 4.5 × 10 to the power of 9 years. The half-life of uranium-238 than that of uranium-234
Anika [276]

Answer:

Uranium-234 is an isotope of uranium. In natural uranium and in uranium ore, U-234 occurs as an indirect decay product of uranium-238, but it makes up only 0.0055% (55 parts per million) of the raw uranium because its half-life of just 245,500 years is only about 1/18,000 as long as that of U-238.

Answer:

1) 36

2) 190

3) 72 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  2x4 = 8 units area for rectangle

(4-2) x4 /2 = 4 units

6 x 4 = 24 units

8 + 4 + 24 = 36

2) 3 x 10 / 2 = 15 units

   5 x 10 /2 = 25 units

   15 x 10 = 150 units

   150 + 25 + 15 = 190 units

3) 6 x 3 / 2 = 9 units

   6 x 9 = 54 units

   6 x 3 / 2 = 9 units

9 + 9 + 54 = 18 + 54 = 72 units
