560.589 - 23.47 is hmm 537.119  <---- 6 significant digits

alrite... looks good, however, when it comes to dealing with significant digits, for addition/subtraction, we go with the lowest significant amount for decimals, in this case,

560.589  <--- has 6 significant digits, accurate to the 1000th place
23.47     <--- has 4 significant digits, and is accurate to the 100th place

thus, our answer will have to be rounded up in 2 significant decimals, or 537.12
and that only has 5 significant digits, since is rounded up to the 100th place.

When the volume of a gas is
Fudgin [204]

Answer: The initial volume is 593.76mL

Step-by-step explanation:

As you do not say anithing about the pressure, i guess that the pressure remains constant.

If the gas is an ideal gas, we have:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is pressure, n is number of moles and R is a constant.

Now, initially we have:

P*Vi = n*R*315°C

finally we have:

P*825mL = n*R*452°C

Now we can take the quiotient of those two equations and get:

(P*Vi)/(P*852mL) = (n*R*315°C)/( n*R*452°C)

Now we have:

Vi/852mL = 315/452

Vi =  (315/452)*852mL = 593.76mL

So when we expand the gas at constant pressure, we increase the temperature.

A 3 L bottle of oil costs $36 and contains 12 cups. Dinesh puts 1 cup of oil, 10 garlic gloves and 1 cup of lemon juice in each
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much 1 cup of oil costs.

12 cups of oil is 36$

Let's set up a proportion.

12/36=1/x

Cross Multiply

12x=36

Divide both sides by 12.

x=3

1 cup of oil is $3.

Dinesh makes 5 batches of hummus, and each batch requires 1 cup of oil.

5*1=5

This means he needs 5 cups of oil.

5*3=15

He used $15 worth of oil in the 5 batches of his recipe.

However, since it is impossible to buy 5/12 bottles of oil, he would have needed to spend $36.

A grocery store sells 6 bottles of water for $4 and 18 bottles of water for $10. Which is the better deal and why?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

18 bottles of water for $10 because each bottle costs 56c compared to 6 bottles of water for $4 at 67c

Step-by-step explanation:

All values rounded to the hundredth

6 bottles of water for $4

4/6=0.67

Each bottle costs 67c

18 bottles of water for $10

10/18=0.56

Each bottle costs 56c

Solve and graph <br> -4 + 2t - 14 - 18t &gt; -6 - 100t
irina [24]
Okay so first u just add the terms on each side 
2t-18>-6-100t  
2(t-9)>2(-3-50t)
t-9>-3-50t
51t>6
t>6/51
t>2/17
so just take a number line put an empty circle like this : O on 2/17 and draw a line showing it continues to the right infinitely. Sorry if my math is wrong lol i am functioning on one hour of sleep.
