How do I figure out what 1/10 of 6000 is?

1 answer:

5 0

The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,

1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)

Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.

So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

A small moving box has a volume of 2304 inches cubed and length of 16 inches. The box's width and height are the same. Write the

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

V = 16x²

Width = 12in

Height = 12in

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box is expressed as;

V = Length *Width * height

Given

Length = 16in

Width = x

Height = x

The volume of the box will be expressed as;

V = 16 * x * x

V = 16x² (This gives the required equation)

To get x:

We are given

V = 2304in³

Substitute;

2304 = 16x²

x² = 2304/16

x² = 144

x= √144

x = 12

Hence the width and the height are both 12inches since they are the same.

A Hot air balloon can hold 90,000 cubic feet of air. It is being inflated at a rate of 6,000 cubic feet per minute . The total c

mojhsa [17]

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{cubic feet of air}}{\stackrel{\textit{dependent}}{a(t)}}\qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{time in minutes}}{independent}}{t}~\hspace{7em}a(t)=6000t$

the "t" variable is independent, namely it can change values "freely", and a(t) is dependent, because it depends on those values on "t" to get its own value.

if we make a table of values for minutes, we know the balloon is inflating at 6000 ft³ each passing minute.

1 minute......................... 6000(1) ft³

2 minutes......................6000(2) ft³

3 minutes......................6000(3) ft³

4 minutes......................6000(4) ft³

t minutes......................6000(t) ft³

before getting in the domain and range, let's find out how much air after 6 minutes.

a(6) = 6000(6)

a(6) = 36000 ft³.

now, what domain, namely values for "t" make sense?

well, we know the balloon can only hold up to 90000 ft³, and on every passing minute is filling up by 6000 ft³, after how many minutes will it be filled up?

90000/6000 = 15, after 15 minutes.

so at 0 minutes, t = 0, the balloon is empty, and 15 minutes later, t = 15, the balloon is filled up, [ 0 , 15 ].

what values for the range, namely a(t), makes sense?

well, we know when the balloon is empty is holding 0 ft³, and when is full it has 90000 ft³, [0 , 90000].
