20 is 60% of what number

1 answer:

3 0

33.33? im not sure, but you do a/b=p/100. p is the percent, a is the part of the whole number, b. so the equation would be 20/b=60/100. then you do cross multiplication (60b=2000) then you divide.

the length of a rectngle is 8/3 times as great as its widthwhat is the width if the length of a rectangle is 24 ft.

laila [671]

L=(8/3)W = 24 ft. Solving for W, we mult. both sides of this eqn by (3/8), obtaining

W = (3/8)(24 ft) = 9 ft (answer)

A huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 454545 square kilometers. Because of changing weather patterns,

We have been given that a huge ice glacier in the Himalayas initially covered an area of 45 square kilo-meters. The relationship between A, the area of the glacier in square kilo-meters, and t, the number of years the glacier has been melting, is modeled by the equation $A=45e^{-0.05t}$ .

To find the time it will take for the area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters, we will equate $A=15$ and solve for t as:

$15=45e^{-0.05t}$

$\frac{15}{45}=\frac{45e^{-0.05t}}{45}$

$\frac{1}{3}=e^{-0.05t}$

Now we will switch sides:

$e^{-0.05t}=\frac{1}{3}$

Let us take natural log on both sides of equation.

$\text{ln}(e^{-0.05t})=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$-0.05t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t\cdot (1)=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$-0.05t=\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})}{-0.05}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-0.05\cdot 100}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 100}{-5}$

$t=-\text{ln}(\frac{1}{3})\cdot 20$

$t=-(\text{ln}(1)-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=-(0-\text{ln}(3))\cdot 20$

$t=20\text{ln}(3)$

Therefore, it will take $20\text{ln}(3)$ years for area of the glacier to decrease to 15 square kilo-meters.

To make 5 smoothies that have the same ratio of apple juice to orange juice as 1 smoothie does, how much apple juice and orange

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

40 Apple juice and 20 Orange juice

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, you know that 4 OJ makes one drink, so to make 5 drinks, you need 5 times that, or 20 OJ. You can also see that you need twice as much AJ as OJ, so that means you need 40 AJ.

*OJ = Orange juice and AJ = Apple juice
