Answer:

The answer to your question is 8 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length of the ladder = 200 cm

distance between each rung = 20 cm

rate = 10 cm/h

fifth rung = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the total distance the tide must rise

distance = 20 cm x 4

              = 80 cm              because the first rung touches the water

2.- Calculate the time

rate = distance / time

-Solve for time

time = distance / rate

-Substitution

time = 80 cm / 10cm/h

-result

time = 8 h

After I looked up some quick information, your car loses 15-25% each year. After 5 years, it goes to only 37%. So, a car that would cost 20000 would be valued at around 7k after 5 years. So, in the first 5 years, it lost 14k. Also, a 1999 Corolla goes for 2.5k, and that's nearly 20 years. So, I'm just going to go with, based off these numbers, probably 25-30 years...if it still works by then.
Also, if you get in a heavy accident the next day, making the car unusable, you rip off your friend. The first scenario only applies if the engine works well and no accidents were on the vehicle either.

A clock loses 2 minutes every 6 hours. At 3:00 pm, the clock is set to the correct time and allowed to run without interference.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

24 minutes, 2:36 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

As working with hours is difficult because it does not use decimal system, lets work with minutes, not hours.

So, the clock is set to work normal at 3:00 pm and we need to get the minutes lost three days after. We know that, as 1 day has 24 hs, 3 days have 72 hours. Then, as our clock loses 2m after every 6 hs, we need to see how many 6hs are there in 72 hs. We do this bt dividing 72 by 6:

72/6 = 12

So, in 72 hours we will have 12 periods of 6hs. As our clock loses 2m after every 6 hs, in 3 days we will lose 2m 12 times. This is:

12 * 2 = 24

The clock loses 24 minutes.

Now we need to see the time it will read.

If there were no problems, the clock should read 3:00 pm after 3 days (72hs). But, as it lost 24 minutes, it will read 2:36 pm, it is, 24 minutes before 3:00 pm.
