Answer: 100 ml each hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
1000 -400 =600 used from original amount.
Divide 600/6 = 100 ml per hour.
The riddle given by Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes is:
217 is to 335
896 is to 543
345 is to ____
We need to find the missing number of the third pair of the riddle. This is a ratio and proportion problem.
217/ 335 = 896/ 543 = 345 / x
The value of x is 209.
So you want to start to factor so you get (x²+2)(x²-7) = 0. Now set each () to 0, so you get (x²+2) = 0 and (x²-7)=0. The first ends with +√2i and -√2i, the second ends with +√7 and -√7
The answer is 30000+2000+700+40+6
