Officials begin to release water from a full man-made lake at a rate that would empty the lake in 4 weeks, but a river that can

fill the lake in 15 weeks is replenishing the lake at the same time. How many weeks does it take to empty the lake? Express your answer as a fraction reduced to lowest terms, if needed.

Answer:

5 weeks and 5 days is required to empty the lake

Explanation:

Officials begin the remove water from a full man made lake

The lake can be emptied in 4 weeks

= -1/4

A river can fill the lake up in 15 weeks

= 1/15

Let t represent the number of weeks that is required to empty the lake

= -1/t

Therefore the number of weeks it takes to empty the lake can be calculated as follows

-1/t= -1/4 + 1/15

-1/t= -11/60

Cross multiply

-11×t= -1×60

-11t= -60

t = 60/11

t= 5 5/11

Hence it takes 5 weeks and 5 days to empty the lake

What is the length of the blues progression in this excerpt?
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>In blues musicians also often refer to chord progressions using Roman numerals, as this facilitates transposing a song to a new key. For example, rock and blues musicians often think of the 12 bar blues as consisting of I, IV and V chords. Thus a simple version of the 12 bar blues might be expressed as I/I/I/I IV/IV/I/I V/IV/I/I. By thinking of this blues progression in Roman numerals, a backup band or rhythm section could be instructed by a band leader to do the chord progression in any key. For example if the band leader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of C Major, the chords would be C/C/C/C F/F/C/C G/F/C/C.</span>

Which does not describe a physical change happening to water?
VARVARA [1.3K]
On your list you can easily identify by knowing which is not a chemical change.

A physical change is a change not involving the material composition of the water. e.g. (melting, solidifying, evaporation). As long as the change does not change the molecular composition of the water which is H20 it is physical change.
