Answer:

55mph

None of the option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed and t as the time taken. If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t.

v = k/t where k is the constant of proportionality.

IF it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, then v = 55mph when t = 5 hours.

Substituting this values into the formula above;

55 = k/5

k = 55*5

k = 275mp/hr²

To calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

<em>Hence, martin will also need to drive at 55mph to take 5 hours</em>

How much dirt is in a hole 5 feet wide, 2 feet long, and 3 feet deep?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

30 ft of dirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the volume, or the capacity, of the hole.

The formula for volume is to multiply the length, width, and height.

l x w x h

2 x 5 x 3 = 30

So there is 30 ft of dirt in the hole.

PLEASE HELP<br> Solve. x^2+9x+2=0

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using completing the square method

x²+9x+2=0

x²+9x = -2 (complete the square by adding (9/2)² to both sides)

x²+9x + (9/2)² = -2 + (9/2)²

( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (9/2)²

( x + (9/2) )² = -2+ (81/4)

( x + (9/2) )² = 73/4

x + (9/2) = ± √(73/4)

x + (9/2) = ± √(73) / 2

x = -(9/2) ± √(73) / 2 (factorize out (1/2) )

x = (1/2) (-9 ± √73)

n chemistry, the pH of a solution is defined by: pH space equals space minus log space left square bracket straight H plus right

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct option is;

pH = 4.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The hydrogen ion [H⁺] concentration in tomato juice = $10 ^{-4.1}$

The pH of a solution = -㏒{H⁺] = -㏒( $10 ^{-4.1}$ ) = -(-4.1) × ㏒(10) = 4.1

The pH of the of the tomato juice = 4.1

The pH is the term used to refer to the acidity of water with the range of pH values ranging from 0 to 14 where pH values of a solution lesser than 7 are considered acidic while pH values above 7 indicate a basic solution.
