By definition, we have that the conversion of a US gallon to liters is given by:
 1 liter = 3.78541 gallons
 Therefore, we can apply the following rule of three:
 1 liter ---------------------> 3.78541 gallons
 5100 liters --------------> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (5100) * (3.78541)

x = 19305.591
 two significant figures:
 x = 19000

 Answer:
 
The lung capacity of the blue whale is:
 
x = 19000 gallons

The equation of line m is 3x−5y=−4
vaieri [72.5K]
Slope of this line, -5y = -3x - 4
y = 3/5x + 4/5
So, slope of line which is perpendicular = -5/3  [reciprocal & opposite ]

In short, Your Answer would be -5/3

Hope this helps!

In how many ways can 6 competitors finish a race assuming there are no ties?In how many ways can we sit n people on r < n cha
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:  a) 720, b) ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} c) 336, d) 30240 e) 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

a) Number of competitors  = 6

We need to find the number of ways that 6 competitors can finish a race and there are no ties.

So, Number of ways would be

6!=720

b) number of people = n

Number of chairs = r (r<n)

so, the number of ways we can sit n people on r<n chairs is given by

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

c) If there are three awards :

Gold, silver, bronze.

We need to find the number of ways that these medals can be awarded.

Number of ways is given by

^8P_3\\\\=336

d) Number of 5-digit zip codes are possible is given by

^{10}P_5=30240

e) Number of poeple = 10

Number of people required in committee = 3

Number of different 3 person committee that are selected from 10 people is given by

^{10}C_3=120

Hence, a) 720, b) ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} c) 336, d) 30240 e) 120.

By driving 8 mph faster than Bob, John can make a 230 mile trip in one half hour less. How fast does Bob drive on the trip? Roun
____ [38]

Answer: The speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Bob be 'x'.

Let the speed of John be 'x-8'.

Distance covered = 230 miles

time = 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ hr

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{230}{x}-\dfrac{230}{x+8}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\230\dfrac{x+8-x}{x(x+8)}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{230\times 8}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1840}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\1840\times 2=3x^2+24x\\\\3680=3x^2+24x\\\\3x^2+24x-3680=0\\\\x\approx 56.8\ km/hr

Hence, the speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.
