Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per pound of apples = $3.50

Cost per pound of raspberries = $4

Total amount earned = $115

Let,

x represent the pounds of apples sold

y represent the pounds of raspberries sold

According to given statement;

3.50x+4y=115     Eqn 1

y = 2x                  Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

3.50x+4(2x)=115\\3.50x+8x=115\\11.50x=115

Dividing both sides by 11.50

\frac{11.50x}{11.50}=\frac{115}{11.50}\\x=10

Putting x=10 in Eqn 2

y=2(10)\\y=20

Kevin sold 10 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of raspberries.

Water flows through a pipe of diameter 4cms with a velocity of
MissTica

Answer:

  1.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed at which water rises in the tank is proportional to the speed of the water in the pipe and inversely proportional to the ratio of the tank area to the pipe area.

The ratio of tank area to pipe area is the square of the ratio of their diameters:

  ((150 cm)/(4 cm))² = 1406.25

Then the rate of rise of water in the tank is ...

  (0.5 m/s)/(1406.25)

After 1 hour = 3600 seconds, the height of the water will be ...

  rise = (time)(rate of rise)

  (3600 s)(0.5 m/s)/1406.25 = 1.28 m
