Answer:
53,901
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question :
In which number does the digit 5 have a value that is ten times greater than the value of the digit 5 in the number 245,093?
43,567
45,248
53,901
562,011
In the number 245,093 :
3 = units
9 = tens
0 = hundred
5 = thousand
4 = ten thousand
2 = hundred thousand
the value of 5 in the number is 5000. the number that would have a value that it 10 times greater than 5 in 245,093 must occupy the value of ten thousand.
looking through the options, it is only in 53,901 that 5 occupies a value of ten thousand
I think that the answer could be D
5000 × .06 = $300 balance $5,300
5300 × .06 = $318 balance $5,618
5618 × .06 = $337.08 balance $5,955.08
5955.08 ×.06 = $357.30 balance $6,312.38
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers.
Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)
For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour.
So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added.
Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer.
70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
