Answer:

20 lbs of 9%

10 lbs of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 9%

y: 15%

x + y = 30

y = 30 - x

0.09x + 0.15y = 0.11(30)

0.09x + 0.15(30 - x) = 3.3

-0.06x = -1.2

x = 20

y = 10

y = 30 - x

Object A has a mass of 12 g and a volume of 8 cm3. Object B has a mass of 20 g and a volume of 8 cm3. Which object has a greater

Andreyy89

Answer:

Obj B, by 1 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Obj A = 12g / 8cm^3 = 3g / 2cm^3 = 1.5 g/cm^3

Obj B = 20g / 8cm^3 = 5g / 2cm^3 = 2.5 g/cm^3

2.5 - 1.5 = 1 g/cm^3

A person stands 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 meters

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A person stand 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 m/s.

From Pythagorean Theorem,

(The distance between car and person)²= (The distance of the car from intersection)²+ (The distance of the person from intersection)²+

Assume that the distance of the car from the intersection and from the person be x and y at any time t respectively.

∴y²= x²+10²

$\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{x^2+100}$

Differentiating with respect to t

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+100}}. 2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}. \frac{dx}{dt}$

Since the car driving towards the intersection at 13 m/s.

so, $\frac{dx}{dt}=-13$

$\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+100}}.(-13)$

Now

$\therefore \frac{dy}{dt}|_{x=24}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{24^2+100}}.(-13)$

$=\frac{24\times (-13)}{\sqrt{676}}$

$=\frac{24\times (-13)}{26}$

= -12 m/s

Negative sign denotes the distance between the car and the person decrease.

Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.

It takes 12 apples to make 2 cups of apple sauce. If 72 apples are used, what is the greatest number of cups of apple sauce that

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 apples makes 2 cups, we can assume that 6 apples make 1 cup.

Take the number of apples and divide it by 6 in order to find out the number of cups that can be made.
