Answer:

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Constant Volume of a rectangular box with a square base = 500 cm³

area of the base increases at a rate of 6 cm²/sec

so change in the area of the base with respect to time dA/dt = 6 cm²/sec

each side of the base is 15 cm long

so Area of the base = 15 cm × 15 cm = 225 cm²

the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing = ?

Now,

V = Ah

dv/dt = 0 ⇒ Adh/dt + hdA/DT = 0

⇒ dh/dt = -hdA/dt / A

we substitute

dh/dt = [ -( 500 / 225 ) × 6 ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -(2.22222 × 6)  ] / 225

dh/dt = [ -13.3333 ] / 225

dh/dt = -0.0593 cm/s

Therefore, the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing is -0.0593 cm/s

Hanna picks up strawberries. she can either choose getting 74$ per hour or 3 $ per basket. she says she can pick up 10 basket in
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

21.62% more

Step-by-step explanation:

20 mins * 3 = 60 mins (1 hour)

10 baskets * 3 = 30 baskets

3$ * 30 baskets = 90$

90$ - 74$ = 16$

74 / 100 - 0.74

90 / 0.74 = 121.62

So she makes 21.62% more with 3$ per basket.

Divide 650 sweets between Cia, Mia and Tia in the proportion 3:4:6. Calculate how many sweets each girl gets.​
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

150, 200, 300

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 3 + 4 + 6 = 13 parts

divide the total by 13 to find the value of one part of the ratio

650 ÷ 13 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

3 parts = 3 × 50 = 150 ← number of sweets Cia gets

4 parts = 4 × 50 = 200 ← number of sweets Mia gets

6 parts = 6 × 50 = 300 ← number of sweets Tia gets
