Answer: 151.305 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

0.300μg = 0.3x10⁻⁶ g/l

mass in kg?

Volume of lake = surface area * depth

surface area = 13mi²

depth = 49 ft

<u>Feet to miles</u>

49 ft → mi = 0.00928 mi

(1 mi = 5280 ft)

V = 13*0.00928 = 0.121 mi³

<u>cubic Miles to cubic meters</u>

1mi³ = 4168182000 m³

0.121 mi³ = 504350022 m³

<u>Cubic meters to liters</u>

1L = 1000 m³

Lake has 5.04350022x10¹¹ L

Concentration = 0.3x10⁻⁶ g/l

Lake has 151305 g of Hg = 151.305 kg of Hg

A store has a 25% off sale on coats. Marcy saved $18.75 on the coat she bought. What was the original price of the coat?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$25

Step-by-step explanation:

18.75 is 75% of a value. You can easily find the answer by dividing 18.75 and 0.75.

When you have a problem like x*5=30, you divide 30/5 to get 6. Same here, x*0.75=18.75. Divide 18.75/0.75 to get the answer.

An instructional video is 4.2 minutes long. How long is the video in seconds? How long is it in hours?
valkas [14]
First we convert it in seconds.

Number of seconds in 1 minute = 60 seconds
Therefore,
Number of seconds in 4.2 minutes = 4.2 x 60 = 252 seconds.

Next we convert it in hours.

60 minutes make up an hour. So we can write,
Number of hours in 60 minutes = 1 hour
Number of hours in 1 minute = 1/60 hour
Number of hours in 4.2 minutes = 1/60 x 4.2 = 0.07 hour


Therefore, the video is 252 seconds or 0.07 hour long.
