Answer:

-6 3/10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of ice sculpture changes -1 4/5 pounds every 1 hour.

In 3 1/2 hours, multiply the time with the weight.

-1 4/5 × 3 1/2

Multiply.

-9/5 × 7/2

-63/10 = -6 3/10

Answer:

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate is -1 4/5 lbs  per hour

The time is 3 1/2 hours

Multiply to find the weight change

-1 4/5 * 3 1/2

Change to improper fractions

- ( 5*1 +4) /5 * ( 2* 3+1)/2

- 9/5 * 7/2

-63/10

Changing back to a mixed number

-6  3/10

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

A big lockers above a smaller locker they both have 0.5 m wide and 0.6 m deep Big lockers 1.2 m tall and small lockers half of t
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.54\,\,m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dimensions of a big locker are 0.5 m × 0.6 m × 1.2 m

Dimensions of a small locker are 0.5 m × 0.6 m × \frac{1.2}{2}=0.6\,\,m (as height of small locker is half the height of big locker )

To find: total volume of one big locker and one small locker

Solution:

Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Total volume of one big locker and one small locker = Total volume of one big locker + total volume of one small locker

= 0.5\times 0.6\times 1.2+0.5\times 0.6\times 0.6

=0.5\times 0.6\left ( 1.2+0.6 \right )\\=0.3(1.8)\\=0.54\,\,m^3

On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapid
Elza [17]

Answer:

L(t)=7600e^{0.2273t}

Step-by-step explanation:

-The locust population grows by a factor and can therefore be modeled by an exponential function of the form:

P=P_oe^{rt}

Where:

  • P is the population after t days.
  • P_o is the initial population given as 7600
  • r is the rate of growth
  • t is time in days

-Given that the growth is by a factor of 5( equivalent to 500%), the r value will be 5

-The population increases by a factor of 5 every 22 days. therefore at any time instance, t will be divided by 22 to get the effective time for calculations.

Hence, the exponential growth function will be expressed as:

P=P_oe^{rt},\ \ \ P=L(t)\\\\\therefore L(t)=7600e^{5\frac{t}{22}}\\\\=7600e^{0.2273t}

Y=? What is Y? Please help me!

Answer:   y = 6 mi.  .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Area of a triangle = (½) * (base) * (height) ;

or,  A = (½) * b * h ;  or,  A = b*h / 2 ;
_____________________________________
Given:  A = 24.3 mi ² ;
           b = 8.1 mi 
___________________
Find the height, "h" ;  (in units of "miles", or , "mi" ).
__________________________
   Plug in the known values into the formula:

24.3 mi ² = (½) * (8.1 mi) *(h) ;
_____________________________
Solve for "h" (height) ;
_____________________________
(½) * (8.1 mi) = 4.05 mi  ;
______________________________
Rewrite: 
____________________________
24.3 mi² = (4.05 mi) *(h) ;  Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________
 Divide each side of the equation by "(4.05 mi)" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "h" ; 
__________________________________________
   24.3 mi²  / 4.05 mi  = (4.05 mi) *(h)  / 4.05 mi ;
                                 
              →  6 mi  = h ;  ↔  h = 6 mi. 

              →      h = y = 6 mi.
