Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 less than a number <em>n</em> is less than 17. This verbal expression can be represented as a mathematical expression.

First, we observe that it says "9 less than", this is expressed like 9<, but less than who? it says "less than <em>n"</em>, so it would be 9<n.

In second place, the expression continues, <em>n </em>is less than 17, which is expressed like n<17.

At last, we unite both parts, and we have:

9<n<17.

A chemical factory has 2 cylindrical chemical tanks, one containing Chemical X and the other containing Chemical Y. The tank con

Mashutka [201]

The tank with Chemical X "takes up" a space of 25ft³. Ordinarily we think of something "taking up" space as being area or surface area; however, area is a square measurement, and this is cubic; this must be volume. The volume of the tank with Chemical X is 1.5 times the volume of the tank containing Chemical Y; setting this up in an equation we would have
25 = 1.5<em>V</em>
We would divide both sides by 1.5 to get the volume of the tank containing Chemical Y:
$\frac{25}{1.5}=\frac{1.5V}{1.5} \\16 \frac{2}{3}=V$
To find the volume of a cylinder, we find the base area and multiply by the height. We know the volume and we know the base area, so our equation to find the height of the tank containing Chemical Y would look like:
$16 \frac{2}{3}=3.2h \\ 16 \frac{2}{3}=3 \frac {2}{10}h$
We would now divide both sides by 3 2/10:
$\frac{16 \frac{2}{3}}{3 \frac{2}{10}}= \frac{3 \frac{2}{10}h}{3 \frac{2}{10}}$
This is the same as:
$\frac{\frac{50}{3}}{\frac{32}{10}}=h \\ \\ \frac{50}{3}* \frac{10}{32}=h \\ \\ \frac{500}{96}$
So the height of the tank containing Chemical Y is 500/96 = 5 5/24 feet.

In a factory, an assembly line can manufacture 39 widgets per second. In another factory, 6 widgets are combined to make 1 whooz

Rudik [331]

Given:
39 widgets per seconds
6 widgets to make 1 whoozit

3,500,000 whoozits * 6 widgets/whoozits = 21,000,000 widgets
21,000,000 widgets / 39 widgets/sec = 538,461.54 seconds

1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minutes = 60 seconds
1 hour = 3600 seconds

3,600 seconds * 24 hrs = 86,400 seconds
538,461.54 seconds / 86,400 seconds per day = 6.23 days.

B. 6 days.
