<h2>Answer:</h2>

When converted to speeds, the list which is in order from slowest to fastest is:

1) 33 miles in 6 minutes

2) 26 miles in 4 minutes

3) 60 miles in 8 minutes

4) 17 miles in 2 minutes

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time.

Here we are given distance and time in each of the options and we will check the speed of each and arrange them in increasing order.

1)

33 miles in 6 minutes

The speed is:

$\dfrac{33\ \text{miles}}{6\ \text{minutes}}=5.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}$

2)

26 miles in 4 minutes

The speed is:

$\dfrac{26\ \text{miles}}{4\ \text{minutes}}=6.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}$

3)

60 miles in 8 minutes

The speed is:

$\dfrac{60\ \text{miles}}{8\ \text{minutes}}=7.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}$

4)

17 miles in 2 minutes

The speed is:

$\dfrac{17\ \text{miles}}{2\ \text{minutes}}=8.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}$

Since,

$5.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}$

Hence, the increasing order of speed is:

1→2→3→4

Speed = distance / time

17 miles in 2 minutes ....17/2 = 8.5 miles per minute
26 miles in 4 minutes.....26/4 = 6.5 miles per minute
33 miles in 6 minutes.....33/6 = 5.5 miles per minute
60 miles in 8 minutes.....60/8 = 7.5 miles per minute

slowest to fastest :
(1) 33 miles in 6 minutes
(2) 26 miles in 4 minutes
(3) 60 miles in 8 minutes
(4) 17 miles in 2 minutes
I believe that is answer C

A company is constructing an open-top, square-based, rectangular metal tank that will have a volume of 34.5 ft3. what dimensions

____ [38]

Answer:

$l \approx 3.3\,ft$ , $x = 3.2\,ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations of volume and surface area are presented below:

$34.5 = l^{2}\cdot x$

$A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + 4\cdot l \cdot x$

The length of the tank is:

$x = \frac{34.5}{l^{2}}$

The expression fo the surface area is therefore simplified into an univariable form:

$A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + 4\cdot \left(\frac{34.5}{l} \right)$

$A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + \frac{138}{l}$

The first and second derivatives of the expression are, respectively:

$A_{s}' = 4\cdot l -\frac{138}{l^{2}}$

$A_{s}'' = 4 +\frac{276}{l^{3}}$

The first derivative is equalized to zero and length of the square side is now found:

$4\cdot l -\frac{138}{l^{2}} = 0$

$4\cdot l^{3}-138 = 0$

$l^{3} = \frac{138}{4}$

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{138}{4} }$

$l \approx 3.3\,ft$

Now, the second derivative offers a criteria to determine if solution leads to an absolute minimum:

$A_{s}'' = 4 + \frac{276}{(3.3\,ft)^{3}}$

$A_{s}'' = 11.7$ (Absolute minimum)

The depth of the tank is:

$x = \frac{34.5\,ft^{3}}{(3.3\,ft)^{2}}$

$x = 3.2\,ft$

John was looking at his streaming music stats. the ratio of songs he liked to disliked was 5.2. If he listened to 63 songs total

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

liked = 45 ; disliked = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of songs he liked be x & disliked be y.

The ratio of x & y :-

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2} \\ = > 2x = 5y \: \: \: \:$

And total number of songs he listened = 63

Then, x + y = 63...................eqn.1

=> x = 63 - y

Substituting the value of x in eqn. 2x = 5y gives :-

2(63 - y) = 5y

=> 126 - 2y = 5y

=> 7y = 126

=> y = 18

Substituting the value of y in eqn.1 gives

x = 63 - 18

= 45

Hence no. of songs he liked = 45 & disliked = 18
