What does 5/4x = 1/2

You would multiply 4 on both sides
5x=2
then you would divide 5 on both sides
x=2/5

How much of the sphere do you have to paint red so that no matter ow you put a cube in it, some corner touches red?

Triss [41]

Explanation:

To achive that you have to piant a ring in red, which will have its big diameter equal to the sphere diameter and its small diameter equal to the cube diagonal.

The diagonal of the cube can be calculated using Pithagoras:

$D^2=L^2+L^2$

Where D is the diagonal and L is the side of the cube

Oil is pumped continuously from a well at a rate proportional to the amount of oil left in the well. Initially there were millio

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial =1\ million$

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

Required

At what rate did oil decrease when 600000 barrels remain

To do this, we make use of the following notations

t = Time

A = Amount left in the well

So:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where k represents the constant of proportionality

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Multiply both sides by dt/A

$\frac{dA}{dt} * \frac{dt}{A} = kA * \frac{dt}{A}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = k\ dt$

Integrate both sides

$\int\ {\frac{dA}{A} = \int\ {k\ dt}$

$ln\ A = kt + lnC$

Make A, the subject

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$t = 0\ when\ A =1\ million$ i.e. At initial

So, we have:

$A = Ce^{kt}$

$1000000 = Ce^{k*0}$

$1000000 = Ce^{0}$

$1000000 = C*1$

$1000000 = C$

$C =1000000$

Substitute $C =1000000$ in $A = Ce^{kt}$

$A = 1000000e^{kt}$

To solve for k;

$6\ years\ later = 500,000$

i.e.

$t = 6\ A = 500000$

So:

$500000= 1000000e^{k*6}$

Divide both sides by 1000000

$0.5= e^{k*6}$

Take natural logarithm (ln) of both sides

$ln(0.5) = ln(e^{k*6})$

$ln(0.5) = k*6$

Solve for k

$k = \frac{ln(0.5)}{6}$

$k = \frac{-0.693}{6}$

$k = -0.1155$

Recall that:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = kA$

Where

$\frac{dA}{dt}$ = Rate

So, when

$A = 600000$

The rate is:

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -0.1155 * 600000$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = -69300$

<em>Hence, the amount of oil was decreasing at 69300 barrels, yearly</em>

-5/6+2/6=<br> What is the answer to this?

geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they have a common denominator the answer is (-5 + 2) / 6 = -3 / 6 = -1/2.

How to divide 33 photos into two groups so the ratio is 4 to 7

Nataliya [291]

33 photos in a 4x to 7x ratio

4x + 7x = 33
11x = 33
x = 3

33 photos can be put in a 4(3) to 7(3) ratio

which is a 12 to 21 ratio

so 12 photos on one side, and 21 on the other side to get the ratio of 4 to 7

Note:
<span>a(b) = ab = a x b = a times b</span>
