2. If y varies inversely as x and y = 3 when x = 5, find x when y = 2.5

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the law of variation,

y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore

y = k/x where k is a constant

3 = k/5 and k = 15

To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)

Go back to the second equation

y = k/x

5/2 = 15/x

When you cross multiply

5x = 30.

Divide through by 5,

x = 6.

This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes down
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of

             water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes

             down by 20 cm in the first 30 min.

To find - Work put how many minutes Colin has to wait for the pond

               to completely empty.

Proof -

Given that,

Height of prism = 1 m

Also,

Base of the prism is trapezium and

Sides of the trapezium are 0.6 m and 1.4 m

Height of trapezium is 2 m

We know that,

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2}× (sum of sides)× height

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (0.6 + 1.4)× 2

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (2)× 2

                             =  2 m²

⇒Area of trapezium = 2 m²

Now,

Volume of prism = Area of trapezium × height of prism

                          = 2 m² × 1 m

                          = 2 m³

⇒Volume of prism = 2 m³

Now,

Given that the level goes down by 20 cm in the first 30 min

We know

100 cm = 1 m

⇒1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m = 0.01 m

⇒20 cm = 20×0.01 m = 0.2 m

⇒The level goes down by 0.2 m in the first 30 min.

Also,

we know that height of water = height of prism = 1 m

So, the remaining water left in the pond = 1 m - 0.2 m = 0.8 m

Also,

Volume of Remaining water = Area of trapezium × height

                                           = 2 m² × 0.8 m

                                           = 1.6 m³

⇒Volume of Remaining water = 1.6 m³

Now,

Volume of emptied water = Total Volume - Volume of Remaining water

                                       = 2 m³ - 1.6 m³

                                       = 0.4 m³

⇒Volume of emptied water = 0.4 m³

Now,

0.4 m³ water will be empty in 30 minutes

⇒ 1 m³ water will be empty in \frac{30}{0.4} = 75 minutes

⇒1.6 m³ water will be empty in 1.6 × 75 = 120 minutes

∴ we get

The remaining water is empty in 120 minutes

So,

Total pond is empty in 120 + 30 minutes

⇒Total pond is empty in 150 minutes
