Earth's oceans have an average depth of 3800 m, a total area of 3.63 × 108 km2, and an average concentration of dissolved gold o

f 5.8 × 10−9 g/L. If a recent price of gold was $129.00/troy oz, what is the value of gold in the oceans?

Answer:

value of gold is $33.17

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

depth d = 3800 m = 3.8 km

area A  = 3.63 × 10^8 km²

average concentration = 5.8 × 10^−9 g/L

price of gold = $129.00 / troy oz

to find out

value of gold

solution

first we find volume that is

volume v = A× d

put here value

volume = 3.8 ×  3.63 × 10^8

volume =  13.794 × 10^{8} km³

volume = 137.94 × 10^{19} L

so mass =  5.8 × 10^{9} × 137.94 × 10^{19}

mass = 8 × 10^{12} g

mass = 0.2572 troy oz

here we know 1 troy oz = 31.1 g

and we know 1 troy oz = $129

so 0.2572 troy oz = 129 × 0.2572

0.2572 troy oz value is $33.17

value of gold is $33.17

1. C) $30.00
If you find how much each Pound is worth, which is $2.50 you multiply that by 12 which is $30.00.
2. < because -3.4 is father from 0 on a number line and -2.1 is closest to 0 on the number line so -2.1 is greater than -3.4. | -3.4 < -2.1
3. C) 1/4 because you need to be able to turn the fraction into a decimal and you need to multiply 4 and 1 by 5 and that is 5/20 then you multiply 5 and 20 by 5 and that gives you 25/100 and now you can turn it into a decimal which is 0.25 and 0.27 is greater than 0.25.
4. A) I because if point S is at (-2, 10) it would be in quadrant II so if point T is a reflection of point S than point T is in the I quadrant because the y-axis is the vertical line going up and down. So you put point T across the y-axis which is
at (2, 10) in quadrant I.

Clara writes the following proof for the theorem:if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other
tekilochka [14]

well, for a <u>square</u> the diagonals do bisec each other, they cut each other in two equal halves.

and for a <u>rectangle</u>, they do as well, mind that a square is a rectangle with all equal sides anyway.

wait just a second, for a <u>parallelogram</u>, they do bisect as well.

hold the mayo, for a <u>rhombus</u> they do too, what the dickens is going on?

well, what do they all those have in common?

they're all quadrilaterals, but, they all have two pairs of parallel sides.

mind you that, a <u>kite</u> is also a quadrilateral, however, it doesn't have all equal sides and the diagonals do not bisect each other, and yes, it has no pairs of parallel sides.

Please another question this is my homework help

Answer:

 Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

 a-intercept = 0/3 = 0.00000

 b-intercept = 0/-4 = -0.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that when a = 0 the value of b is 0/-4 so this line "cuts" the b axis at b=-0.00000

 b-intercept = 0/-4  = -0.00000

When b = 0 the value of a is 0/3 Our line therefore "cuts" the a axis at a= 0.00000

 a-intercept = 0/3  =  0.00000

Slope is defined as the change in b divided by the change in a. We note that for a=0, the value of b is 0.000 and for a=2.000, the value of b is 1.500. So, for a change of 2.000 in a (The change in a is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 1.500 - 0.000 = 1.500 in b. (The change in b is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  1.500/2.000 =  0.750
