Answer:

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Step-by-step explanation:

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors

number of non-upgraded sensors for each module (nus)

total number of upgraded sensors on the satellite (tus)

satellite is composed of 30 modular units

total number of non-upgraded sensors on the satellite (tnus):

tnus=30*nus

total number of sensors on the satellite (ts):

ts=tnus+tus = 30*nus + tus (I)

The number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite

nus=(1/5)*tus

tus = 5 * nus (II)

Fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded (FU):

FU = tus/ts

Using I and II

FU= (5* nus)/(30*nus + tus)

FU = (5* nus)/(30*nus + 5 * nus)

FU = (5* nus)/(35*nus)

FU = 1/7

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

A cone - shaped building has a height of 6 meters and a base with a diameter of 10 meters. The building will be filled with road
MArishka [77]
The formula for the volume of a cone is
.. V = (1/3)*π*r^2*h
The radius (r) is half the diameter, so is 5 m. Fill in the numbers and do the arithmetic.
.. V = (1/3)*3.14*(5 m)^2*(6 m) = 157 m^3

The cost will be $25 for each of those cubic meters, so is
$25*157 = $3925.00.
