Answer:

z= 168

Step-by-step explanation:

proportion zinc to copper = 4/17

4/17 = z/ 714

17 • z = 4 • 714

17 • z = 2856

z= 2856/17

z = 168

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. She wants to know how many kilometers (k) right parenthesis

Sever21 [200]

Answer: Hello, Here you Answer......

132 km

Given that the relationship between kilometers and fuel is proportional, let the distance in km be k and the fuel be f:

thus:

kα cf

k=cf

where k is the constant of proportionality. Thus:

c=k/f

Pamela drove 99 km and used 9 liters;

∴k=99/9=11 km/liter

therefore distance covered is given by:

k=11f

hence the distance covered with 12 liters of fuel will be:

k=11×12

=132 km Hope this helps! (Brainly)♥

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

guajiro [1.7K]

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.
