Answer:

Salt water is more dense than freshwater.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat is always able to float on water because it experiences an upthrust upwards.

The magnitude of the upthrust depends upon the density of the liquid.

When the liquid is denser the boat will experience a high upthrust as compared to when in a less dense liquid.

Now, ocean water consists of salt which makes it more dense, thus If the boat sinks lower into the water in a freshwater lake than in ocean, then Salt water is more dense than freshwater.

Answer:

Ocean water has more salt than freshwater. More salt causes you to float. For example, the Dead Sea is so salty that it is nearly impossible to swim, you always float while you're in it due to all the salt.

What is the value of x?

Doss [256]

x = 35

The angles are vertically opposite and equal thus

4x + 20 = 3x + 55

subtract 3x from both sides

4x - 3x + 20 = 55

x + 20 = 55

subtract 20 from both sides

x = 55 - 20 = 35

The Bruin Stock Fund sells Class A shares that have a front-end load of 4.8 percent, a 12b-1 fee of 0.42 percent, and other fees

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Investment Amount Net of Front end Load (1 - 0.048) = $0.952

The value of $1 invested in each share class if investment horizon is 3 years

After 3 years: (For every dollar invested)

Class A: 0.952 x (1+0.11-0.0042-0.013)^3 = $1.24

Class B: (1 x (1+0.11-0.0195-0.013)^3) x (1-0.02) = $1.23

SIMILARLY,

The value of $1 invested in each share class if investment horizon is 20 years

After 20 years: (For every dollar invested)

Class A: 0.952 x (1+0.11-0.0042-0.013)^20 = $5.62

Class B: 1 x (1+0.11-0.0195-0.013)^20 = $4.45
