Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x/8 = 9/12

We can use cross products to solve

x*12 = 8*9

12x = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x=6

9/11 - 1/2 in it's simplest form

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

7/22

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define/explain.

To subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first find the least common denominator (LCM).

You can do this by listing the multiples of each denominator.

Step 2: Solve.

11: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 110

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22

22 is the LCM.

Now, we change the fractions to where they both have denominators of 22.

**REMEMBER: WHICHEVER NUMBER YOU MULTIPLY THE DENOMINATOR BY, YOU MULTIPLY IT BY THE NUMERATOR AS WELL!!**

$9/11*2/2=18/22$

$1/2*11/11=11/22$

Now, subtract as normal.

$18/22-11/22=7/22$

$7/22 (simplified).$

Step 3: Conclude.

Therefore, 9/11 - 1/2 = 7/22.

Gas is escaping from a spherical balloon at the rate of 12 ft3/hr. At what rate (in feet per hour) is the radius of the balloon

bija089 [108]

Answer:

This is the rate at which the radius of the balloon is changing when the volume is 300 $ft^3$ $\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{225^{\frac{2}{3}}\pi ^{\frac{1}{3}}} \:\frac{ft}{h} \approx -0.05537 \:\frac{ft}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $r$ be the radius and $V$ the volume.

We know that the gas is escaping from a spherical balloon at the rate of $\frac{dV}{dt}=-12\:\frac{ft^3}{h}$ because the volume is decreasing, and we want to find $\frac{dr}{dt}$

The two variables are related by the equation

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

taking the derivative of the equation, we get

$\frac{d}{dt}V=\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)\\\\\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\pi (3r^2)\frac{dr}{dt} \\\\\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}$

With the help of the formula for the volume of a sphere and the information given, we find $r$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\300=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\r^3=\frac{225}{\pi }\\\\r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{225}{\pi }}$

Substitute the values we know and solve for $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}\\\\\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{\frac{dV}{dt}}{4\pi r^2} \\\\\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{12}{4\pi (\sqrt[3]{\frac{225}{\pi }})^2} \\\\\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{\pi \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{225}{\pi }}\right)^2}\\\\\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{\pi \frac{225^{\frac{2}{3}}}{\pi ^{\frac{2}{3}}}}\\\\\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{3}{225^{\frac{2}{3}}\pi ^{\frac{1}{3}}} \approx -0.05537 \:\frac{ft}{h}$

2(x-3)-12 = -4 How do I solve this equations

deff fn [24]

Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Multiply the factor (outside number) with the numbers and variable(s) in the box. This results in 2(x-3) = 2x-6

2nd Step: continue the rest of the equation since there are no more brackets left so 2x-6-12=-4

3rd Step: send -12 to the other side of the equation (side changes sign changes) so it will become 2x-6=-4+12 (You are actually supposed to make the variable alone on one side of the equation so that you would be able to calculate its value)

4th step: 2x-6=8 ---> send -6 to the other side as well which will then result in 2x=14

5th step: since 2 is being multiplied by x, when you send it to the other side (to make x alone) you will divide 14 by 2 ( sign of 2 changes from multiplication to division)

Final Step: x=7

Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so

Sever21 [200]

Taking the 3 solutions as 3 different terms, we can create an equation as follows:

Solution 1 : 10mL with 20% acid
Solution 2 : 30mL with x% acid
Solution 3 : 40mL with 32% acid

Since solution 1 + solution 2 = solution 3, let us substitute the given values we have:

10(0.2) + 30(x) = 40(0.32)
2 + 30x = 12.8

To solve for the unknown concentration x, we subtract 2 from both sides:
2 + 30x - 2 = 12.8 - 2
30x = 10.8

Dividing both sides by 30:
30x/30 = 10.8/30
x = 0.36

Therefore the unknown solution is 36% acid.
