Answer:

50.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see the third bird pecks 60 + 40 /2 = 50 granules. The fourth bird thus pecks 60 + 40 + 50 /3 = 50 granules. The fifth bird pecks 60 + 50 + 50 + 40/4 = 50 granules. As you can see, it will always be 50 after this.

8. The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. A ferry operator who works that part of the river is looking to buy a new boat
Natali [406]
Answer: the speed of the boat on the lake is 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat on the lake or in still water.
The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. This means that if the boat goes upstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x - 6)mph. If the boat goes downstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x + 6)mph.
Time = distance/ speed
Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours. This means that the time taken to travel upstream is
22.5/(x - 6). The time taken to travel downstream is
22.5/(x + 6)
Since the total time is 9 hours, it means that
22.5/(x - 6) = 22.5/(x + 6)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
22.5(x + 6) + 22.5(x - 6) = 9
Multiplying through by (x + 6)(x - 6), it becomes
22.5(x - 6) + 22.5(x + 6) = 9[(x + 6)(x - 6)]
22.5x - 135 + 22.5x + 135 = 9(x² - 6x + 6x - 36)
22.5x + 22.5x = 9x² - 324
9x² - 45x - 324 = 0
Dividing through by 9, it becomes
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
x² + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0
x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = - 4
Since the speed cannot be negative, then x = 9

the radius of a cylindrical construction pipe is 2.5 ft. if the pipe is 21 ft long, what is its volume? use the value 3.14 for p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a cylinder = π x radius² x height (Length in this case)

Replacing with the values given:

V = 3.14 (2.5)² 21 = 3.4 (6.25) 21 = 412.12 = 412 cubic feet  (rounded)

In conclusion, the volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Food costs are expected to rise 6% each month for the next year. Which series correctly depicts the cost (to the nearest cent) f
alexira [117]
For this case we have the following equation:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ t
 For the first month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
 y = 159 $
 For the second month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 2
 y = 168.54 $
 For the third month we have:
 y = 150 * (1.06) ^ 1
 y = 178.65 $
 Answer:
 
d. $ 159.00 + $ 168.54 + $ 178.65
