Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V
and mass of boat be M
In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.
Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V
M leads to 0.1V boat submerging
boat submerging.
M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.
This is 60%, 0.6 V increase
By comparison
(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M
0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M
120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M
120kg = 0.6M
M = (120/0.6)kg
M = 200kg.
The mass of the boat is 200kg.
First you do the first parenthesis, (1.08 x 10 - 3) and you do it in the order of operations! (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) to get 7.8. Then you take the second parenthesis (9.3 x 10 - 4) and do the same thing to get 89! You then times 7.8 by 89 to get 694.2! If it needs more elaboration just ask ^.^
Answer: Its A because i had the same question and it was a
