No he is wrong there will be 150000000 bacteria on it at 2 minutes

WORK:

2 min=120 sec
120 divided by 15=8
15 times 10 (7 times)
u get 150,000,000

Answer:

7.3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = (1/2) *b*h

27 = (1/2) * x^2

54 = x^2

square root (54) = x

x=> 7.3484....

Rounding off to 1 decimal place, you get 7.3 in.

Solve for x: 3/4x+5/8=4x

kompoz [17]

So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.

First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.

So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.

Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.

Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.

An apartment complex has a floor plan with dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20 BTU’s are required for ever

kifflom [539]

12,900 BTU's are required to cool the room effectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We must calculate the area of the entire shape to determine the minimum BTU's required to cool the room effectively.

It is made up of a semi-circle a rectangle, and a trapezoid.

Step 2:

The area of a semi-circle $=\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} .$

Here, the diameter is 20 feet so the radius is 10 feet.

The area of the semi-circle $=\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} =\frac{ (\pi) (10^{2}) }{2} = 157.079$ square feet.

The area of a rectangle $= (l)(w).$

The length of the rectangle is 22 feet and the width is 20 feet.

The area of a rectangle $= (l)(w) =(22)(20) = 440$ square feet.

The area of a trapezoid $=\frac{a+b}{2} (h).$

Here $a=12, b= 20, h= 3$ .

The area of a trapezoid $=\frac{12+20}{2} (3) = 48$ square feet.

Step 3:

The total area of the floor plan $=157.079+440+48 = 645.079$ square feet.

If 20 BTU's are required for a single square foot,

The number of BTU's for 645.079 square feet $= (645.079)(20)=12,901.58$ BTU's.

Rounding this off, we get 12,900 BTU's required to cool the room effectively.

How do you simplify this

Dafna11 [192]

Top:

x / (x + 1) - 1 / x

= [x^2 - (x +1)] / x(x+1)

= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)

Bottom:

x / (x + 1) + 1 / x

= [x^2 + (x +1)] / x(x+1)

= (x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)

Now you have:

(x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1)

----------------------------

(x^2 + x + 1 ) / x (x+1)

= (x^2 - x - 1 ) / x (x+1) * x (x+1) / (x^2 + x + 1 )

= (x^2 - x - 1 ) /(x^2 + x + 1 )

Answer:

x^2 - x - 1

---------------------

x^2 + x + 1
