180 N

Step by Step Explanation :

Step 1 :

Given that the buoyant force of the boat is 260 N

and the boat's weight is 80 N

We have to find the maximum weight capacity of the boat so that it continues to float.

The boat would float when the total of the weight of  boat and the load it carries do not exceed the buoyant force.

Step 2 :

The weight capacity of the boat is therefore 260 N - 80 N = 180 N

Hence the boat can carry a weight of 180 N to continue to float

Answer:

The maximum weight capacity will be less than 180 N

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Archimedes principle, an object floats in the fluid if its buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object.

Here the buoyant force is 260 N so weight up to < 260, the boat will float.

Let the maximum weight capacity be x.

                                             x + 80 < 260

                                or, x + 80 - 80 < 260 - 80

                                               or, x < 180

So the maximum allowed weight will be less than 180 N.

a half cup of pancakes mix has 5% total daily allowance of cholesterol. the total daily allowance of cholesterol 300 mg. how muc
arsen [322]
Hi there!

Since we know that the pancake mix has 5% of the daily allowance, which is 300 mg, we can just multiply 300 mg with 5 percent to get our answer.

First, let's divide 5% by 100% to know what we are going to multiply 300 mg with.

5% / 100% = 0.05

Let's multiply 300 mg with 0.05

0.05 * 300 = 15 mg

Thus, a 1/2 cup of pancake mix has 15 mg of cholesterol.

Have an awesome day! :)

Two students use different methods to solve this multiplication problem: 1/2 • -4 4/5
sesenic [268]

Solution:

\frac{1}{2}\times-4 \frac{4}{5}

As one of the fraction is a proper fraction and another one is Mixed fraction.

There are two methods of solving it.

1. \frac{1}{2}\times-4 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{-24}{5}=\frac{-12}{5}=-2\frac{2}{5}

2. \frac{1}{2}\times-4 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{2}[-4-\frac{4}{5}]=\frac{1}{2}\times (-4)+\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{-4}{5}=-2+\frac{-2}{5}=\frac{-10-2}{5}=\frac{-12}{5}=-2\frac{2}{5}→→Here i have used Distributive property with respect to addition and Subtraction i.e a×(b+c)= a ×b + a×c or a×(b-c)=a×b-a×c

Now, you can fill the blanks by yourself.

Solve the equation with a variable term on both sides: 5.1y+21.3=-0.3y-24.6.
ivann1987 [24]

To solve this equation, we will need to isolate y, the variable. These are the steps that follow:


1. Add 0.3y to each side.

2. Subtract 21.3 from each side.

3. Divide both sides by 5.4y.

Try and figure it out yourself! If you have trouble...


The answer is y = -8.5
