Find the radius of the circle by finding the distance between the viewer and the beacon. 
then find the circumference by using 2πr2

this will be the distance the light covers over 1 revolution.
then using dimensional analysis:
3 rev/min (7.037 km/rev) (60 min/1 hr) = 1266.7 km/hr

Rachel works at a bookstore. On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday. On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books
natali 33 [55]
Let m = the amount books Rachel sold on Monday.
then t = the amount books Rachel sold on Tuesday.<span>
then w = </span><span>the amount books Rachel sold on Wednesday.

On Tuesday she sold twice as she did on Monday.
 t = m * 2

On Wednesday she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday
w = t - 6

Now for the fun.

t = m * 2
w = t - 6

Substitute t for real value

w = m * 2 - 6

Now solve for m.

w - 6 = m * 2 <-- Transpose the 6
(w-6)/2 = m <-- Transpose the 2.
m = (w-2)/2 < The Law of Reflexive Property of Equality</span>

natita [175]

Equation for this problem:            Total 3 cubed / (L x W)

So 18.5cm x 15cm = 277.5 is the product of L and W. Now you need to devide the total by 277.5 which is 14. So the aquarium is 14 cm deep.

What's the correct answer and why?
alexandr402 [8]
3x^4 becomes 3(3x)^4=3*3^4*x^4
y^2 becomes (3y)^2=3^2y²
the new z=3² the old z, so b is correct.
