Answer:

A = $4,815,291.6 approximately $4.8 million

The total amount used to keep 113 million TV turned on per day in the United States is $4,815,291.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of TVs in the United States N = 113 million

Average power per TV P = 76 W

Average TV use per day t = 6.3 hours a day

Cost rate of electrical energy R = 0.089 dollars per kWh

The total amount used to keep 113 million TV turned on is;

A = Total Energy consumption × cost rate

A = Et × R

Total Energy consumption of 113 million TVs with 76W at 6.3 hours a day is

Et = NPt = 113 million × 76 × 6.3 = 54.1044millon kWh

From

A = Et × R

A = 54.1044millon kWh × 0.089 dollars/kWh

A = 4.8152916 million dollars

A = $4.815 million or $4,815,291.6

Answer:

76 W *\frac{1kW}{1000 W}= 0.076 kW

0.076 kW * 6.3 \frac{hours}{day}= 0.4788 \frac{kWh}{day}

113x10^6 people * \frac{0.4788 kWh}{people}= 54104400 kWh

And finally we can convert this into money like this:

54104400 kWh *\frac{0.089 dollars}{1 kWh}= 4815291.6

So they spent every day approximately in total $ 4815291.6 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can convert the average power into Kw like this:

76 W *\frac{1kW}{1000 W}= 0.076 kW

Now on average we know that one person use on average this power over 6.3 hours per day so then we have the following consumption rate:

0.076 kW * 6.3 \frac{hours}{day}= 0.4788 \frac{kWh}{day}

And now we know the total population so then the total consumption per day would be:

113x10^6 people * \frac{0.4788 kWh}{people}= 54104400 kWh

And finally we can convert this into money like this:

54104400 kWh *\frac{0.089 dollars}{1 kWh}= 4815291.6

So they spent every day approximately in total $ 4815291.6 dollars

AURORKA [14]
Illustrate the given problem. Refer to the diagram attached to aid our solution.

Area of bigger rectangle:
A = (L+8)(W+16)

Area of smaller rectangle (printed area)
388 = LW

From the second equation, we can express L in terms of W.
L = 388/W
Replace this to the first equation:
A = (388/W+8)(W+16)
A = 388 + 6208/W + 8W + 128
A = 6208/W + 8W + 516
Derive A with respect to W and equate to zero (calculus):
dA/dW = -6208/W² + 8 = 0
-6208/W² = -8
W² = -6208/-8 = 776
W = √776 = 27.86 cm
L = 388/27.86 = 13.93 cm

Thus, the smallest area would be:
A = (13.93 cm)(27.86 cm)
<em>A = 388.09 cm²</em>

A soccer league has 160 players. Of those players 40% are boys. How many boys are in the soccer league?
MatroZZZ [7]
The answer is 64 boys are in the soccer league.

X/160 = 40/100

X/160 * 100 = 40/100 * 100

5x/8 = 40

(8 * 5x)/8 = 40 * 8

5x = 320

5x/5 = 320/5

x = 64
