I can see you come from outside the USA. No insults intended!!
.
Anyways, we have to put one side of the ratio and match it to 48.
.
Or even better...
.
MAKE!!
A!!
PROPORTION!!
.
So... Let's say 7 is proportional to 48... so 7/5 = 48/x, where x is the number equivalent to ratio of 5.
.
Cross multiply!!
<span>.
</span>7x = 240.
.
Divide 7 on both sides.
.
x = 34 2/7.
.
Hope I helped!!

What is the length of segment CD question mark

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

CD = two square root of 10 end square root

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a segment, use the distance formula. Substitute the order pairs for the endpoints of the segment. CD has the end points (-7, -4) and (-1, -2).

$d = \sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{(-4--2)^2 + (-7--1)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{-2^2 + -6^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 36}\\\\d=\sqrt {40} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 6800.0 cubic centimeters per min at the same time that water is be

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

6.82 $mt^3/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

By congruence of triangles, the radius r of the cone base when its height is 1 meter satisfies the relation

r/1 = 2.5/6

(See picture attached)

So, r = 0.4166 meters when the water is 1 meter high.

The volume of a cone with radius of the base = R is given by

$V=\frac{\pi R^2h}{3}$

So, the volume of water when it is 1 meter high is

$V=\frac{\pi* 0.(4166)^2}{3}=0.1817\;mt^3$

One minute later, the height of the water is 1 meter + 30 centimeters = 1.30 mt

The radius now satisfies

r/1.3 = 2.5/6

and now the radius of the base is

r = 0.5416 mt

and the new volume of water is $0.3071\;mt^3$

So, the water is raising at a speed of

0.3071-0.1871 = 0.12 $mt^3/min$

This speed equals the difference between the water being pumped and the water leaking,

So,

<em>0.12 = Speed of water being pumped -6.8 </em>

and

Speed of water being pumped = 6.8+0.12 = 6.82 $mt^3/min$

Solve for the following equation step by step and justify your steps when using an exponential property.

mel-nik [20]

x = $\frac{5}{7}$

using the ' laws of exponents '

• $a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{( m + n )}$

• $a^{m}$ ÷ $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m - n)}$

• ( $a^{m}$ )^n = $a^{mn}$

$7^{2}$ × $7^{3}$ = $7^{5}$ ÷ $7^{3x}$ = $7^{5 - 3x}$

$7^{4x}$ = $7^{5 - 3x}$

equating the exponents since bases on both sides are 7

4x = 5 - 3x

7x = 5 ⇒ x = $\frac{5}{7}$
