Answer:
a) 90 stamps
b) 108 stamps
c) 333 stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you have ratios, just treat them like you would a fraction! For example, a ratio of 1:2 can also look like 1/2!
In this context, you have a ratio of 1:1.5 that represents the ratio of Canadian stamps to stamps from the rest of the world. You can set up two fractions and set them equal to each other in order to solve for the unknown number of Canadian stamps. 1/1.5 is representative of Canada/rest of world. So is x/135, because you are solving for the actual number of Canadian stamps and you already know how many stamps you have from the rest of the world. Set 1/1.5 equal to x/135, and solve for x by cross multiplying. You'll end up with 90.
Solve using the same method for the US! This will look like 1.2/1.5 = x/135. Solve for x, and get 108!
Now, simply add all your stamps together: 90 + 108 + 135. This gets you a total of 333 stamps!
Answer:
2998 ; 17%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:
t(c)=-3970.9(ln c)
c = % of carbon remaining ; t = time
1.) c = 47% = 47/100 = 0.47
t(0.47) = - 3970.9(In 0.47)
t = - 3970.9 * −0.755022
t = 2998.119
t = 2998
B.)
t = 7000
t(c)=-3970.9(ln c)
7000 = - 3970.9(In c)
7000 / - 3970.9 = In c
−1.762824 = In c
c = exp(−1.762824)
c = 0.1715596
c = 0.1715596 * 100%
c = 17.156% ; c = 17%
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
To prove
As given the epression in the question is given by
Now simplify the above
Terms are written as
Put in the above expression.
The goal is to get the volume as large as possible while the surface area is made as small as possible. Why? Because the volume is the amount of stuff you can hold and the surface area is the amount of material to make the container.
Consider an example of making a cup. The inside portion is the amount the cup can hold. The more liquid, the better. The cup makers want to use as little material as possible so that they reduce costs. If the cup makers produce a cup that has volume of 10 cubic inches and uses 10 square inches of material, then the surface area to volume ratio is 10:10 which reduces to 1:1. A more efficient cup is made if that same volume (10 cubic inches) can be made for less material say 5 square inches to make the ratio now 5:10 which reduces to 1:2.
So in summary, reducing the surface area to volume ratio will make more sense economically as the company makes more money while reducing costs (therefore increasing overall profit)
