<u>Question Completion</u>

a) Find the constant of proportionality.

b) Write an equation relating V and A.

c) How much paint would be needed to cover an area of 180 square feet? Answer:

(a)k=\frac{1}{15} \\\\(b)V=\frac{1}{15}A

(c)12 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of paint used, V liters, is directly proportional to the area, A square feet, that the paint can cover.

This is written as:

V \propto A\\V=kA,$ where k is the constant of proportionality

(a)5 liters of paint can cover a wall with an area of 75 square feet.

V=5 liters, A=75 square feet.

Substitution into V=kA

5=75k

k=5/75

\text{Constant of proportionality, k}=\dfrac{1}{15}

(b)Substitution of k=\dfrac{1}{15} into V=kA

The equation relating V and A is:

V=\frac{1}{15}A

(c)If A=180 Square feet

Volume of paint needed,

V=\frac{1}{15} X 180\\=12$ liters

You want $5000 4 years from nowfor a down payment for a car. How much money must be deposited monetly into an account earning 4.
timama [110]

Answer:

$95.5090 must be deposited monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The annual interest rate (r) = 4.2% = 0.042

Let assume that an amount Y is deposited, then after one month, it will increase to:

Y ( 1+ \dfrac{0.042}{12})

The total amount after 4 years will be:

= Y ( 1+ \dfrac{0.042}{12})^{48}+Y ( 1+ \dfrac{0.042}{12})^{47} +Y ( 1+ \dfrac{0.042}{12})^{46} +...+ Y ( 1+ \dfrac{0.042}{12})

= Y ( 1.0035)^{48}+Y ( 1.0035)^{47} +Y( 1.0035)^{46} +...+ Y( 1.0035)

Using the sum of a geometric progression:

= Y (1.0035) \dfrac{ (1.0035^{48}-1)}{(1.0035-1)}

= Y (1.0035) \dfrac{ (1.0035^{48}-1)}{0.0035}

The above amount is then equal to $5000

i.e

= Y (1.0035) \dfrac{ (1.0035^{48}-1)}{0.0035} = 5000

Y =  \dfrac{5000\times 0.0035}{(1.0035)(1.0035^{48}-1)} \\ \\  \mathbf{Y = \$95.5090}

You are making juice from concentrate. The directions on the packaging say to mix
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

25 can.                            

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: You are making juice from concentrate. The directions on the packaging say to mix  1 can of juice with 3 cans of water to make orange juice. How many 12 fluid ounces cans of the concentrate are required to prepare 200 6-ounce servings of orange juice?

Given: Ratio to make juice with concentrate:water is 1:3.

As required we need to prepare 200 6 ounce serving of Orange juice.

∴ 200\times 6= 1200\ ounce

Let there be x ounce of concentrate and 3x ounce of water to make 1200 ounce of orange juice.

Now, x+3x= 1200

∴ x= 300 ounce

Next, lets find out how many cans of 12 ounce is required.

\frac{300}{12} = 25\ cans

∴ 25 cans is required to make 1200 ounce of orange juice.
