Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of medals won by the Russians.

The way to do this is to add the ratios together

1 + 8 + 5 = 14

(5/14) x = 25

Multiply by 14

5*x = 25 * 14

5x = 350

divide by 5

8/14 = x / 70

14x = 8 * 70

14x = 560

x = 560 / 14

x = 40

The USA won 40 medals.

1/14 = x / 70

14x = 70

x = 5

Canada Won 5 medals.

How much carbon dioxide will you prevent from entering the atmosphere in one year, if you replace a 100-watt light bulb with a C

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

280000lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we shall be calculating the amount of carbon iv oxide prevented from entering the atmosphere.

Generally we know that 1kwh produces 1.37 lbs of Carbon iv oxide in the atmosphere

Now, using a 100 watt light bulb daily for 8 hours, for a year, the amount of Carbon iv oxide produced will be;

100 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 40040 lb

Using a 30 watt CFL for 8hrs/ day for a year, we have;

30 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 120012 lb

Now calculating the amount of CO2 prevented, we have 40040 - 120012 = 280028 lb = 280000 after rounding up

The seventh term of an arithmetic progression is equal to twice the fifth term. The sum

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a₁ = - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an AP is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then

a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )

- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)

The sum to n terms of an AP is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

Given $S_{7}$ = 84 , then

$\frac{7}{2}$ (2a₁ + 6d) = 84

3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )

2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)

Thus we have 2 equations

- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)

2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d

- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d

- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a₁ = - 24

Use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient 2,545÷4

victus00 [196]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

round 2,545 to 2,400 and keep 4 the same because 24 goes into 4 six times so 2400/4 equals 600

24/4 is 6 and you add the two zeros
