It is greater than 2/5 greater than 5 and and 5 greater than 2/5

A great way to figure this out is to actually multiply it. 2/5 x 5/1 You can simplify numbers diagonally, so the two fives can both cancel out into ones. now we have 2/1 x 1/1, which is the same as 2x1 This equals 2, which is less than five.
One great thing to know is that anything multiplied by a number less than one (a fraction or a decimal) will always be smaller than the original number.

A cuboid with a volume of 924cm^3 has dimensions

Leona [35]

The values of x are -22 and 10

The dimensions are 4 cm , 11 cm , 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A cuboid with a volume of 924 cm³
It has dimensions 4 cm , (x + 1) cm and (x + 11) cm

We want to show that x² + 12x - 220 = 0, and solve the equation to find its dimensions

The volume of a cuboid is the product of its three dimensions

∵ The dimensions of the cuboid are 4 , (x + 1) , (x + 11)

∴ Its volume = 4(x + 1)(x + 11)

- Multiply the two brackets and then multiply the product by 4

∵ (x + 1)(x + 11) = (x)(x) +(x)(11) + (1)(x) + (1)(11)

∴ (x + 1)(x + 11) = x² + 11x + x + 11 ⇒ add like terms

∴ (x + 1)(x + 11) = x² + 12x + 11

∴ Its volume = 4(x² + 12x + 11)

∴ Its volume = 4x² + 48x + 44

∵ The volume of the cuboid = 924 cm³

- Equate the expression of the volume by 924

∴ 4x² + 48x + 44 = 924

- Subtract 924 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 48x - 880 = 0

- Simplify it by dividing all terms by 4

∴ x² + 12x - 220 = 0

Now let us factorize it into two factors

∵ x² = x × x

∵ 220 = 22 × 10

∵ 22(x) - 10(x) = 12x ⇒ the middle term

∴ x² + 12x - 220 = (x + 22)(x - 10)

∴ (x + 22)(x - 10) = 0

- Equate each factor by 0 to find x

∵ x + 22 = 0 ⇒ subtract 22 from both sides

∴ x = -22

∵ x - 10 = 0 ⇒ add 10 to both sides

∴ x = 10

∴ The values of x are -22 and 10

We can not use x = -22 because there is no negative dimensions, then we will use x = 10

∵ The dimensions are 4 , (x + 1) , (x + 11)

∵ x = 10

∴ The dimensions are 4 , (10 + 1) , (10 + 11)

∴ The dimensions are 4 cm , 11 cm , 21 cm

A pan of warm water (46∘ Celsius) was put in a refrigerator. After 15 minutes, the water's temperature was 27∘ C; 15 minutes aft

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Cooling:

The rate of change of a body temperature (amount of heat loss/time of loss) is directly proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the surroundings.

$\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1} = -h (T(t2) - Tenv)$

T ⇒ temperature

t ⇒ time

Tenv ⇒refrigerator temperature

$\frac{T(t2)-T(t1)}{t2-t1}$ ⇒ rate of change of he temperature

-h ⇒ constant of proportionality (negative because the temperature is decreasing inside the refrigerator)

We have 3 points:

time (minutes) - Temperature (∘ C)

0 (when the pan was put in the refrigerator) - 46

15 (after 15 minutes) - 27

30 (15 minutes after the first 15 minutes) - 19

$\frac{27 - 46}{15 - 0}$ = -h (27 - Tenv)

$\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0}$ = -h (19 - Tenv)

Now we have a system of two equations and two variables

$\frac{-19}{15} = -h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15} = h (27 - Tenv)\\ \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} = h$

$\frac{19 - 27}{15 - 0} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{-8}{15} = -h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = h (19 - Tenv)\\\frac{8}{15} = \frac{19}{15(27 - Tenv)} (19 - Tenv)\\8(27 - Tenv) = 19 (19 - Tenv)\\216 - 8 Tenv = 361 - 19 Tenv\\19 Tenv - 8 Tenv = 361 - 216\\11 Tenv = 145 \\Tenv = 145/ 11\\Tenv = 13. 18$

The refrigerator was at around 13 ∘C
