Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

Tania has 56 liters of milk. She uses the milk to make muffins and cakes. Each batch of muffin requires 7 liters of milk and eac
Sophie [7]
Equally divide 56 into 2 halves. 28 liters. 28 liters for muffins and 28 liters for cakes.
 
(muffins require 7 liters) 28÷7= 4
(cakes require 4 liters) 28÷4=7
x= 4 batches of muffins
y= 7 batches of cakes.

The correct answer is:  [C]:  " $4290.00 " .
_______________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
Given:  principal, "P":  equals:  $14,300  ;
                 rate, "r" : equals:  7.5 %  = 7.5 / 100 = 0.075 ; 
                time, "t" (in years): equals:  4  ;
_________________________________________
What is the interest, "i" ? 
_________________________________________
  Note:  The formula:  i = P * r * t   .
_________________________________________
So, we plug in our given values for "P", "r", and "t", and solve for "i" (interest).
__________________________
i = ($14,300) *(0.075) * (4)  ;

i = $1,490 ;  which is answer choice:  [C]:  " $4290.00 " .
