The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant avoid eating more than three 6.00 oz servings of bluefish per month because of th

e relatively high mercury levels in that type of fish. If bluefish contains 0.309 ppm of mercury (that is, 0.309 oz of mercury per 1×106 oz of fish), how many ounces of mercury would a pregnant woman consume in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of bluefish?

Answer:

5,562 x 10^{-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Firts, we need to find the maximum recommended amount of bluefish per month. Since the FDA recommends <em>3 servings of 6.00 oz each</em>, the maximum amount would be:

the maximum amount of bluefish per month = 3 * 6.00 oz = 18.00 oz

  • Since bluefish contains <em>0.309 ppm of mercury per 1x10^{6} oz of fis</em>h, then:

0.309 oz mercury --------> 1x10^{6} oz of fish

How many  (y)      --------> 18.00 oz of fish

y = \frac{18.00 oz of fish * 0.309 oz of mercury}{1 x 10^{6} oz of fish }  = 0.000005562 = 5.562 x 10^{-6} oz mercury

the base of the founten is rectangular . its dimention 1 2/3 feet by 2 2/3 feet . what is the area of the base of the founten
Montano1993 [528]
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:

2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield: 
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2 

The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.

Which statement describes the relationship between labor cost and time for a car repair?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we see the graph, we can say that the correct statement is :

A.)All repairs requiring 1 hour or less have the same labor cost. We can see that the coat from 0 hours to 1 hour is $50. So, the number of hours falling in this range has the same repairing cost.

B.) Labor costs the same no matter how many hours are used for a repair. This is wrong as the graph is increasing after 1 hour.

C.) Labor costs for a repair are more expensive as the number of hours increases. This is wrong as the hours are increasing from 0.25 to 0.5 then to 0.75 but they all have the same cost.

D.)There is no cost of labor for a repair requiring less than 1 hour. This is also wrong. The cost is $50.

-5^2 + (-15) ÷ (-3) + 20 Solve using PEMDAS showing work
oee [108]
In PEMDAS, there is no parentheses in this equation, so we move on to exponents.

-5^2 is 25
Now, we divide -15/-3 then we get 5
Next, we do -3+20=17
25+5+17 would be 47

Your answer should be 47!
Hope this helps (:
