(<em>q = quarters, n = nickles</em>)

<u>First, create your system of equations:</u>

   25q + 5n = 535 cents

   n = 2q - 5

<u>Second, Substitute for n:</u>

   25q + 5(2q - 5) = 535

<u>Simplify:</u>

   25q + 10q - 25 = 535

<u>Simplify to solve for q:</u>

   35q=560

   q=16

<u>Next, solve for n by plugging the value of q back into the equation:</u>

   n=2q - 5

   n=32-5

   n=27

There would be 16 quarters and 27 nickles.

A tissue sample is three cells thick. Each cell has a thickness of 0.000004m. What is the thickness of the tissue sample in mm.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

4000 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion from meters to nanometers: 1 meter is 1(10⁹) nm

Step 1: Convert 0.000004 to scientific notation

0.000004 = 4(10⁻⁶)

Step 2: Convert by multiplication

4(10⁻⁶) x 1(10⁹) = 4000 nm

an inverted conical water tank with a height of 20 ft and a radius of 8 ft is drained through a hole in the vertex (bottom) at a
viktelen [127]

Answer:

the rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft is;  \mathbf{\dfrac{dh}{dt}  = \dfrac{-25}{100  \pi} \  \ ft/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the inverted conical water tank with a height of 20 ft and a radius of 8 ft  is drained through a hole in the vertex (bottom) at a rate of 4 ft^3/sec.

We are meant to find the  rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft.

The diagrammatic expression below clearly interprets the question.

From the image below, assuming h = the depth of the tank at  a time t and r = radius of the cone shaped at a time t

Then the similar triangles  ΔOCD and ΔOAB is as follows:

\dfrac{h}{r}= \dfrac{20}{8}    ( similar triangle property)

\dfrac{h}{r}= \dfrac{5}{2}

\dfrac{h}{r}= 2.5

h = 2.5r

r = \dfrac{h}{2.5}

The volume of the water in the tank is represented by the equation:

V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi (\dfrac{h^2}{6.25}) h

V = \dfrac{1}{18.75} \pi \ h^3

The rate of change of the water depth  is :

\dfrac{dv}{dt}= \dfrac{\pi r^2}{6.25}\  \dfrac{dh}{dt}

Since the water is drained  through a hole in the vertex (bottom) at a rate of 4 ft^3/sec

Then,

\dfrac{dv}{dt}= - 4  \ ft^3/sec

Therefore,

-4 = \dfrac{\pi r^2}{6.25}\  \dfrac{dh}{dt}

the rate of change of the water at depth h = 10 ft is:

-4 = \dfrac{ 100 \ \pi }{6.25}\  \dfrac{dh}{dt}

100 \pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}  = -4 \times 6.25

100  \pi \dfrac{dh}{dt}  = -25

\dfrac{dh}{dt}  = \dfrac{-25}{100  \pi}

Thus, the rate of change of the water depth when the water depth is 10 ft is;  \mathtt{\dfrac{dh}{dt}  = \dfrac{-25}{100  \pi} \  \ ft/s}
