Answer: 55%

1. 279 - 180 = 99

2. 99 divided by 180 = 0.55

3. 0.55 x 100 is 55.

55 is the percentage

In a sewage treatment plant, a large concrete tank initially contains 440,000 liters of liquid and 10,000 kg of fine suspended s

viva [34]

Answer:

$Concentration = 8.26kg/m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 440000L$ --- volume of tank

$m = 10,000 kg$ --- solid mass

$r = 40000L/hr$ --- outflow rate

Required

Determine the concentration at the end of 4 hours

First, calculate the amount of liquid that has been replaced at the end of the 4 hours.

$Amount = r * Time$

$Amount = 40000L/hr * 4hr$

$Amount = 40000L * 4$

$Amount = 160000L$

This implies that, over the 4 hours; The tank has 160000 liters of liquid out of 440000 liters were replaced

Calculate the ratio of the liquid replaced.

$Ratio = \frac{Amount}{Volume}$

$Ratio = \frac{160000L}{440000L}$

$Ratio = \frac{16}{44}$

$Ratio = \frac{4}{11}$

Next, calculate the amount of solid left.

$Amount (Solid)= Ratio * m$

$Amount (Solid)= \frac{4}{11} * 10000kg$

$Amount (Solid)= \frac{40000}{11}kg$

$Amount (Solid)= 3636kg$

Lastly, the concentration is calculated as:

$Concentration = \frac{Amount (Solid)}{Volume}$

$Concentration = \frac{3636kg}{440000L}$

Convert L to cubic meters

$Concentration = \frac{3636kg}{440000* 0.001m^3}$

$Concentration = \frac{3636kg}{440m^3}$

$Concentration = 8.26kg/m^3$

Shana wants to use all 62 feet of the fencing she has to make a rectangular run for her dog. She decides to make the length of t

Andreyy89

Answer:

Width of the rectangular Park = 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total length of the fencing is 62 feet. As has to be fenced around a rectangular park , it would be the perimeter of the rectangular park.

Also Shana wants the length of the run to be 20 feet. Hence the length of the park is 20 feet.

Here we will use the formula for perimeter to find the width of the run

Perimeter = 2(l+w)

62=2(l+w)

l+w = $\frac{62}{2}$

l+w=31

20+w=31

w=31-20

w=11

Hence the width of the run for her dog in park would be 11 feet.
