Answer:

558.036 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the amount of the sea water to collect 125 lb of sea salt

As given: 64 lb/ft³ has 0.0035 dissolved salt by weight

So the formula to find out the amount of the sea water is:

64 lb/ft³ * 0.0035 *x ft³  = 125 lb

<=> x = \frac{125}{64*0.035} = 558.036 lb

Hope it will find you well.

at a particular high school, 42% of the students participate in sports and 25% of the students participate in drama. if 53% of t
baherus [9]

The probability that a student participates in both sports and drama is 0.14.

<h3>What is the formula for P(AUB), where A and B are any two events?</h3>

If A and B are any two events, then the probability of the joint event (A\cup B) is given by the following formula: P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

Given that 42% of the students participate in sports and 25% of the students participate in drama and 53% of the students participate in either sports or drama.

Suppose S denotes that "a student participates in sports" and D denotes that "a student participates in drama".
So, we have P(S)=\frac{42}{100}=0.42, P(D)=\frac{25}{100}=0.25, P(S\cup D)=\frac{53}{100}=0.53.

We want to find the probability that a student participates in both sports and drama i.e., we want to find P(S\cap D).

By the above formula, we obtain:

P(S\cup D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cap D)\\\Longrightarrow P(S\cap D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cup D)\\\Longrightarrow P(S\cap D)=0.42+0.25-0.53\\\therefore P(S\cap D)=0.14=\frac{14}{100}

Therefore, the probability that a student participates in both sports and drama is 0.14.

A mail order company charges 4.5% for shipping and handling. If the total order is 54.34 how much was the order total before shi
Andrews [41]

Answer:

$52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount charged for shipping and handling = 4.5%

Let cost of order = x

Total amount charged = 54.34

However,

total. Amount charged = (total cost + handling and shipping)

54.34 = x + 0.045x

54.34 = 1.045x

Order total before shipping = 54.34 / 1.045

Order total before shipping = 52

Find a formula for the nth term in this arithmetic sequence. a1=0, a2=0.5, a3=1, a4=1.5
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

nth term is;

0.5n-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the first term is 0

The common difference is 0.5-0= 1-0.5 = 1.5-1 = 0.5

Formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

So we have

0 + (n-1) 0.5

= 0.5n-0.5
