Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem, therefore to solve it the statement have to be writing in form of an equation and then solved.

Let the number of fishes caught by Bryan's son be x fishes. Since Bryan caught as many fish as his son, Bryan caught x fishes

Let the number of fishes caught by Elton's son be y fishes. Since Elton caught three times as many fish as his son, Bryan caught 3y fishes

All together, they caught 25 fish

Therefore it can be represented by the equation:

x + x + y + 3y = 25

2x + 4y = 25

2x = 25 - 4y

x = (25 - 4y)/2

The number of fish caught by Bryan is half of the difference between the total fish caught and four times the number of fish caught by Elton son

A number has only 1 factor pair. One of its factors is twice the other factor. What is the number? Explain.
Mrrafil [7]
<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

If we assume a temperature of 20ºc and the blood interfacial surface tension is similar to water interfacial surface tension, the diameter of the capillary tube should be 0.933mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jurin law describes the height a fluid can reach in a capillary tube. This law can be written as:

H=\displaystyle\frac{2\gamma cos(\theta)}{\rho gr}

where γ is the interfacial surface tension, θ is the contact angle with the fluid, ρ is the fluid density, g is the gravity acceleration and r is the tube radius.

If we assume that the interfacial surface tension of blood and water are almost the same, γ=0,0728 N/m at 20ºc. Therefore the diameter of the tube will be:

D=2r=\displaystyle\frac{4\gamma cos(\theta)}{\rho gH}=0.933\cdot 10^{-3}m
