Lake Michigan's volume is approximately 1,180 cubic miles and its surface area is approximately 14,332,090 acres. The 2015 water

level was 11 inches above the 2014 level. What is the percentage change in the lake volume over that year? Hint: Find and use the answers to these questions: • What is the average depth of the lake in feet? Hint: Consider the depth of a box with the volume and surface area of the lake. • Approximately how much water in cubic feet has the lake gained?

Answer:

a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake

= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet

b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet

Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake

= 624,305,840,400 $\times$ 0.9167

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet

c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

= 0.0033

= 0.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

i) acres to square feet : 1 acre = 43560 square feet

therefore 14,332,090 acres = 624,305,840,400 square feet

ii) 1 mile = 5280 feet

1 cubic mile = 5280 $\times$ 5280 $\times$ 5280 = 147,197,952,000 cubic feet

therefore 1180 cubic miles = 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake

= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet

b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet

Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake

= 624,305,840,400 $\times$ 0.9167 = 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet

c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year

= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet

= 0.0033

= 0.33%

It is given that R=2q-5 and Q=3p+2. Find the numerical value of R when p=3

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

R = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

R = 2q - 5

Q = 3p + 2

Find the numerical value of R when p = 3

R = 2q - 5

R = 2(3p + 2) - 5

R = 6p + 4 - 5

R = 6p - 1

When p = 3

R = 6(3) - 1

R = 18 - 1

R = 17

Work at a convenience store 60% of your time, and earn $11.00 an hour. Referee games at your city park 25% of your time, and ear

pogonyaev

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the hourly wage is the sum of the probabilities (percentage of time spent on each job) multiplied by the payoff (money earned) from each possible occurrence (job):

(0.6 × 11) + (0.25 × 19) + (0.15 × 16) = $13.75.

A piece of cardboard is 13 inches by 26 inches. A square is to be cut from each corner and the sides folded up to make an open-t

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Hence the maximum possible volume will be the 778.53 c.c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle with 13 x 26 dimensions

And corners are cut to form side squares.

To Find:

Maximum possible volume for box

Solution :

Consider a rectangle of 13 x 26 dimension with and side of square at corner be x.

(Refer the attachment)

Now,

Formulating the volume equation for the box

So corner square sides we are going to fold up which makes height of the box

and remaining part will be length and breadth

As shown in fig,

Length=26-x

breadth=13-x

And height will be x

$V(x)=x*(26-x)*(13-x)$

To get maximum volume differentiate the above equation,

$V(x)=x*(26*13-26*x-13*x+x^2)$

$V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x\\$

$V'(x)=3x^2-78x+338$

$V''(x)=6x-78$

Now ,Solve the Quadratic Equation to get x values,

$3x^2-78x+338$ =0

x=[-b±(b^2-4ac)^1/2]/2a

x=[78±Sqrt[(78)^2-4*338*3)]/2*3

x=[78±Sqrt(3028)]/6

x=[78±55.027]/6

x=78+55.027/6 or x=78-55.027/6

x=22.17 or x=3.8288

Use these values in 6x-78 to know which value posses the max and min value for the function.

So when x=22.17

6x-78=6*22.17-78

=55.02>0 i.e function will have minimum value .

When x=3.8288

6*3.8288-78

=-55.0272<0 i.e. Function will have maximum value

Now, the function will defines the maximum volume

$V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x$

$V(x)=3.8288^3-39*(3.82883)^2+338*3.8288$

$V(x)=56.13-571.73+1294.13$

$V(x)=778.53 C.C$
