At time t=0 hours, a tank contains 3000 litres of water. Water leaks from the tank. At the end of every hour there is x% less wa

ter in the tank than at the start of the hour. The volume of water, in litres, in the tank at time t hours is Vt. Given that Vt=KtV0 V2=2881.2 work out the value of k and the value of x.

Answer:

x = 2; K = 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

At time, t = 0, Volume of Water = 3,000 litres

After t hours , the Volume of water in the tank = Vt

At the end of every hour there is a x% less water in the tank then at the start of the hour

After 1 hour, volume of water left Vt = V1

V1 = 3,000 - 3000 × (x/100)

V1 = 3,000 - 30x

After 2 hours, Volume of water left is V2

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3,000 - 30 x) × (x/100)

V2 = (3,000 - 30 x) - (3000x - 30x²)/100

V2 = {100(3000 - 30x) - x(3000 - 30x)} /100

V2 = {(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100

Recall, V2 = 2881.2

Therefore

{(3000 - 30x)(100 - x)}/100 = 2881.2

(3000 - 30x)(100 - x) = 288120

300000 - 3000 x - 3000 x + 30 x² = 288120

30 x ² - 6000 x + 11880 = 0

Dividing both sides by 30

x² - 200 x + 396=0

Factorizing:

(x -198)(x-2) = 0

x = 198 or x = 2

Since the percentage by which the water reduces cannot be greater than 100, x = 2 is chosen.

Step 2: Solving for k

Given that Vt=KtV0

K = Vt/V0

At t = 1

V1 = 3000 - 30x

V1 = 3000 - 30 × 2

V1 = 3000 - 60

V1 = 2940

K = 2940/3000

K = 0.98

the perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle the length of a side of the square is given by th
diamong [38]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of a side of the square is x.

Now, perimeter of square = 4 × side length

Perimeter of square = 4x

Also,we are told that the triangle is equilateral and a side is (x + 1).

Thus, perimeter of triangle = 3(x + 1)

Since we are told that the perimeter of the square is equal to that of the equilateral triangle. Thus;

4x = 3(x + 1)

4x = 3x + 3

Subtract 3x from both sides to get;

4x - 3x = 3

x = 3

Find the product: 377(10, 000).
Illusion [34]

Answer:

37, 700, 000

Step-by-step explanation:

377(10,000) = 377 x 10,000

= 37, 700, 000

an easy way to see it is to just add the number of zeros from 10,000 to 377. since there are four zeros, you put four zeros behind 377.

gregori [183]
3,000. You take 15,000 and multiply by .4 to get how much she spent on rent (6,000). They you subtract the rent money from her total pay to get her money that she spent on living expenses, clothes and entertainment in total (9,000). Since she spent her money in six parts (3+2+1), you divide 9,000 by 6 to get 1,500 to get each part. Since for entertainment she has two parts you multiply 1,500 by 2 to get 3,000.
