Answer:

17 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width, then;

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Given that the width of the poster is greater than 10 inches and is prime, this means and W>10

Area of the rectangle = 204in²

On substituting the values in the formula;

A = LW

204 = LW

Since W is greater than 10 and is prime, it can be between the prime numbers 11, 13 and 17. Note that L must be a whole number as well for any number to be the right answer we seek.

Let's test each values of the prime width that will give a length that is a whole number.

If W = 11

204 = 11×L

L = 204/11

L = 18.54

Since the length didn't give us a whole number, this means our width is not 11.

If W = 13

204 = L × 13

L = 204/13

L = 15.69

Also, we can see that the length is not also a whole number for the value of 13 as the prime width.

If W = 17

204 = L × 17

L = 204/17

L = 12

It can be seen that the length of the rectangle gave us a whole number when we used the prime width of 17, hence the width of the poster that is greater than 10 inches and is prime that makes both length and width to be a whole number is 17 inches.

A large brine tank containing a solution of salt and water is being diluted with fresh water.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

41.04 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship is modeled by the following function:

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*t)

where t is time elapsed after the dilution begins (in hours) and S(t) the concentration of  salt in the tank (in g/L)

Replacing with t = 10

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*10)

S(t) = 41.04 g/L

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 364cm . If the length of the painting is 96cm, what is its width?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The width would be 86cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is (Width*2) +(Length*2)

Length is 96, multiply by 2 : 96*2 = 192

Subtract this from the total perimeter (364-192 = 172)

Divide this by 2 to get 1 width value (172/2 = 86)

86 cm
