Answer:

microalgae required less space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of oil to be produced = 1,000 gallons

Now,

We know

10,000 gallons of oil is extracted from the miroalgae per acre per year

and,

From soyabeans the oil extracted = 50 gallons per acre per year

therefore,

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by microalgae

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from microalgae]

= 1,000 ÷ 10,000

= 0.1 acres

similarly

To produce 1,000 gallons number of acres required by soyabeans

= [ Amount of oil to be produced ] ÷ [ oil extracted per acre from soyabeans]

= 1,000 ÷ 50

= 20 acres

hence,

microalgae required less space.

Which line is parallel to a line that has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept at (0, 0)?

anyanavicka [17]

we know that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

we will proceed to calculate the slope of each line to determine the solution.

The formula to calculate the slope m between two points of the line is equal to

$m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}$

<u>case N 1) </u>line AB

Let

$A(-4,3)\\B(4,3)$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{(3-3)}{(4+4)}$

$m=\frac{(0)}{(8)}$

$m=0$

$0\neq 3$

therefore

<u>The line AB is not the solution</u>

<u>vase N 2)</u> line FG

Let

$F(-3,-1)\\G(3,-3)$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{(-3+1)}{(3+3)}$

$m=\frac{(-2)}{(6)}$

$m=-1/3$

$-1/3\neq 3$

therefore

<u>The line EG is not the solution</u>

case N 3) line CD

Let

$C(-3,0)\\D(3,2)$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{(2-0)}{(3+3)}$

$m=\frac{(2)}{(6)}$

$m=1/3$

$1/3\neq 3$

therefore

<u>The line CD is not the solution</u>

case N 4) line HJ

Let

$H(-1,-4)\\J(1,2)$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{(2+4)}{(1+1)}$

$m=\frac{(6)}{(2)}$

$m=3$

$3=3$

therefore

<u>The line HJ is the solution</u>

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

line HJ

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The exact number would be 26.66666667 but it would be 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually when dealing with decimals anything 5 and up would be rounded up but since we are dealing with money we don't round up. Since his friends lunch cost $3 every lunch the most he will be able to buy is 26. He will have about $2.5 left over which he cannot buy a lunch with so thats why you dont round up.

what is the rate of inflation if a savings account has a nominal interest rate of 3% and a real interest rate of 1%

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

the rate of inflation is 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

Nominal interest rate =3%

Real interest rate=1%

To Find:

Rate of inflation=?

Solution:

Nominal interest rate:

Nominal interest rate refers to the interest rate before taking inflation into account.

Inflation rate:

The inflation rate is the percent increase or decrease in prices during a specified period. It's usually over a month or a year.

Real interest rate:

A real interest rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor.

Real interest rate ≈ nominal interest rate − inflation rate.

This can be re written as

inflation rate= Real interest rate - nominal interest rate

Substituting the values,

inflation interest = 1+3

inflation interest=4%
