Answer:

The length of the blue rope is 80.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

B = Blue Rope

G = Green Rope

R = Red Rope

B=3R (Blue is 3 x as long as Red)

G=5B (Green is 5 x as long as Blue)

B+G+R = 508.25 (The three ropes together are 508.25 meters)

Since B=3R, I will rewrite the equation above

3R + G + R = 508.25

Now, I will write G in terms of R:

G=5B

B=3R, so 5B = 15R (multiply both sides by 5) which means that G=5B=15R, so G=15R.

Rewrite the equation again in terms of R:

3R + 15R + R = 508.25

19R = 508.25 (combine like terms)

R = 26.75 (divide both sides by 19 to solve for R)

Now, use the value 26.75 (R, which is the length of the red rope) to solve for B (the length of the blue rope):

B=3R

B=3(26.75)

B=80.25 meters

In a NiCd battery, a fully charged cell is composed of Nickelic Hydroxide. Nickel is an element that has multiple oxidation stat
Westkost [7]

Answer:

P(cell has at least one of the positive nickel-charged options) = 0.83.

P(a cell is not composed of a positive nickel charge greater than +3) = 0.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the Nickel Charge Proportions found  in the battery are:

0 ==> 0.17

.

+2 ==> 0.35

.

+3 ==> 0.33

.

+4 ==> 0.15.

The numbers associated to the charge are actually the probabilities of the charges because nickel is an element that has multiple oxidation states that is usually found in the above mentioned states.

a) P(cell has at least one of the positive nickel-charged options) = P(a cell has +2 nickel-charged options) + P(a cell has +3 nickel-charged options) + P(a cell has +4 nickel-charged options) = 0.35 + 0.33 + 0.15 = 0.83.

Or:

P(a cell has at least one of the positive nickel-charged options) = 1 - P(a cell has 0 nickel-charged options) = 1 - 0.17 = 0.83.

b) P(a cell is not composed of a positive nickel charge greater than +3) = 1 - P(a cell is composed of a positive nickel charge greater than +3)

= 1 -  P(a cell has +4 nickel-charged options)  '.' because +4 is only positive nickel charge greater than +3      

= 1 - 0.15

=  0.85

To summarize:

P(cell has at least one of the positive nickel-charged options) = 0.83!!!

P(a cell is not composed of a positive nickel charge greater than +3) = 0.85!!!
