Answer:

A)You must work 2 shifts to wash 10 loads of laundry

B)You can wash 15 loads pf laundry if you work for 3 shifts

C) each shift will pay for 3.75 loads of laundry if the cost per load rises to 16 quarters

Explanation:

Given:

amount  earned =   12 dollars/hour

Duration for one shift = 75 minutes

Amount needed for Laundry = 12 quarters/load.

A. How many shifts must you work if you wish to wash 10 loads of laundry

To wash 10 loads, you will be requiring

=> 10 \times 12 \text{quarters}

=> 120 quarters

1 quarter = 0.25 dollars---------------------------------(1)

120 quarters

= 120 \times 0.25 \text{ dollars}

= 30 dollars

You need 30 dollars for washing 10 loads

In one hour i,e 60 minutes you earn=  12 dollars

In one minute the amount earned will be

= \frac {12}{60}

= 0.2 dollar-------------------------------------------------------(2)

Now to earn 30 dollars you have to work for

=30 \times 0.2 minutes

= 150 minutes

Thus the number of shifts will be  

= \frac{150}{75}

= 2 shifts

B. How many loads of laundry can you wash if you work 3 shifts

We Know that 1 shift =  75 minutes

So 3 shifts = 75 \times 3 = 225 minutes

From (2),

In 1 minute = 0.2 dollars is earned

So in  225 minutes =  225 \ times 0.2 = 45 dollar is earned

45 dollar = 45 \times 4 = 180 quarters

You can wash 1 load with 12 quarters

With 180 quarters you can wash = \frac{180}{12} = 15 loads

C. How many loads of laundry will each shift pay for if the cost per load rises to 16 quarters

Cost per load = 16 quarters

From (1)

16 quarters = 0.25 \times 16  = 4 dollars per load

From (2) In 1 shift the amount earned will be

=> 75 \times 0.2

=15 dollars

With 4 dollars you can wash 1 load

So with 15 dollars = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 loads

A spinning turbine can generate electricity only in the form of a/an _______ current.
Tom [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - <u>alternating</u> and <u>direct</u>, in order.

Explanation:

Alternating current is is type of electric current that is characterized by the direction of the flow of electrons in continuously switches its directs in opposite manner at regular cycles. While direct current or DC is flow of the electrons that move from starting to end in one direction.

Spinning turbines always leads to the alternating electric current while only solar energy produces the direct current with the help of the solar panels.

Thus, the correct answer is -  <u>alternating</u> and <u>direct</u>, in order.

Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) &lt;---&gt; HI(g) with an equilibrium constant of 46.3 and a reaction quotient of 525. Which
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The equilibrium will shift to the left to favor the reactants.

Explanation:

Remember that the reaction quotient (Qc) is derived from initial concentrations of reactants and products. Since Qc is greater than Kc, this means that initial concentrations are heavily impacted by a high product concentration ([HI]). Therefore, the reverse reaction will occur and actually create more reactants again ([H2] and [I2]). Thus, the answer is that the equilibrium will shift to the left side to favor the reactants.
