Answer:

370 minutes.

Explanation:

You can calculate the time by using the formula of rate:

 rate = amount / time = number of drops / time

From which you clear the time:

time = number of drops / rate

The rate and the number of drops are given: 41 drops / minute and 15,000 drops (since that is the number of drops in 1.00 gallons).

Therefore, time = 15,000 drops / 41 drops / minute = 365.85 minutes

You have to use the correct number of significant figures, which is the least number of significant figures in every factor. 41 has two significant figures, 15,000 also has two significant figures, while 1.00 has three significant figures.

So you must round 365.85 minutes to two significant figures.

That is 370 (365 is round up to 370).

Give examples of a 100% increase, 100%<br> decrease, and 100% error. Explain each.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

100% increase from 100 is 200, the difference is 100.

100% decrease from 100 is 0, the difference is -100

error means that you were quite a long way off from the true value.

Water pours into a tank at the rate of 2000 cm3/min. The tank is cylindrical with radius 2 meters. How fast is the height of wat
Gennadij [26K]

Volume of water in the tank:

V=\pi (2\,\mathrm m)^2h=\pi(200\,\mathrm{cm})^2h

Differentiate both sides with respect to time <em>t</em> :

\dfrac{\mathrm dV}{\mathrm dt}=\pi(200\,\mathrm{cm})^2\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}

<em>V</em> changes at a rate of 2000 cc/min (cubic cm per minute); use this to solve for d<em>h</em>/d<em>t</em> :

2000\dfrac{\mathrm{cm}^3}{\rm min}=\pi(40,000\,\mathrm{cm}^2)\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}

\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2000}{40,000\pi}\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm min}=\dfrac1{20\pi}\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm min}

(The question asks how the height changes at the exact moment the height is 50 cm, but this info is a red herring because the rate of change is constant.)

The three medals earned in the Olympics are the gold, silver, and bronze medals. In the 2014 Winter Olympics, the United States
marta [7]

Answer:

Let x be the number of silver medals.

As there were two more gold medals than silver ones, gold medals are x+2

We also know that the number of bronze medals was 4 less than the sum of gold and silver, so if there are x + 2 of gold and x of silver, there are x+x+2-4 of bronze.

Now, we can do an equation, as we know there were a total of 28 medals:

x + x + 2 + x + x + 2 - 4 = 28

And we isolate x:

4x = 28

x = 28/4 = 7

There were 7 silver medals, so there were 9 gold ones (7-2) and 12 of bronze (9+7-4).
