Answer:

17 m

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure,  A_0-B_0 is the ground level, A_1-B_1 is the old level of water which was at 20 m below ground level, A_2-B_2 is the new level of water which is 5m above of old level. The height of wall of the well, 1.20 m, and the the pelly at 80 cm =0.80 m, has been shown too.

The minimum length of the rope is equal to the distance between the pully and the new water level, indicated by the length L_0 in the figure.

So, L_0= 20-5+1.20+0.80= 17m

Hence, Raghu must use a rope having the minimum length 17 m to draw water from the well.

A ship is carrying gold bars and silver bars in the ratio 13:17. The ship's load
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

Which property is demonstrated below?<br> a + b = b + a
Contact [7]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.
