Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

An oil tanker breaks apart and starts leaking. As time goes on, the rate at which the oil is leaking out will diminish. Suppose
Alborosie

Answer:

62.77 million gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The function that shows rate of leaking oil per minute in after t hours,

R(t) = \frac{0.7}{1+t^2}

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes ⇒ 3 hours = 180 minutes,

Hence, the quantity of oil leaked out in the first 3 hours,

V(t) = \int_{0}^{180} R(t) dt

=\int_{0}^{180} \frac{0.7}{1+t^2} dt

=0.7 \int_{0}^{180} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}

=0.7[tan^{-1}(t)]_{0}^{180}

=0.7(tan^{-1}(180) - tan^{-1} (0))

=0.7(89.68)

= 62.77 million gallons
