Answer:

Fuel used = 111,303,473,760 MJ/year

Step-by-step explanation:

Power production = Fuel energy * Efficiency

1200 MW = Fuel energy * 0.34

Fuel energy = 1200 MW / 0.34 =3529.41 MW

This means it consumes 3529.41 MJ/s.

Per year, it operates 365 days, 24 hours a day, 3600 seconds an hour.

To calculate the fuel used annualy we have to multiplicate by all these factors

Fuel used = 3529.41 MJ/s * 3600 s/hour * 24 hours/day * 365 days/year

Fuel used = 111,303,473,760 MJ/year

Anne wants to fill 12 hanging baskets with compost. Each hanging basket is a hemisphere of diameter 40 cm.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

  1. determine the volume of the 12 basket

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = 40/2 = 20 cm

volume of one hemisphere = (2/3) x (22/7) x (20^3) = 16,761.90 cm^3

volume of the 12 baskets = 16,761.90 cm^3 x 12 = 201,142.86 cm^

2. convert the litres of compost to cm and multiply by the total bags of compost

1 litre = 1000cm

1 bag of compost = 50 x 1000 = 50,000

4 bags of compost = 50,000 x 4 = 200,000 cm

3. compare which figure is higher. the figure gotten in step 1 or 2

201,142.86 cm^3 is greater than 200,000

there is no enough compost

Two sections of a class took the same quiz. Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students
Ksju [112]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the average mean score for a group of students split into two different emerging groups.

We calculate the total score for each of the groups. This is done by multiplying the average score by the number of students.

Total score of section A is 15 * 80 = 1,200

For section B, total score is 20 * 90 = 1,800

Overall score is thus 1200 + 1800 = 3000

We add the scores together and divide by the total number of students in both sections

Average score is thus 3000/35 = 85.71 which is approximately 86

What is the surface area of a cube whose edges are 11 inches long?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Surface area is the total area of the surface. A cube has 6 surface, and each surface is the same. Each surface is a 11 by 11 square. Therefore there will be 6 11in. x 11in. surfaces. The math would be 11x11x6 =726.
