Recall the ideal gas law:

P V = n R T

where

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of gas molecules

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature

If both n and T are fixed, then n R T is a constant quantity, so for two pressure-volume pairs (P₁, V₁) and (P₂, V₂), you have

P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

(since both are equal to n R T )

Solve for V₂ :

V₂ = P₁ V₁ / P₂ = (104.66 kPa) (525 mL) / (25 kPa) = 2197.86 mL

⦁ Show (2.3)(5.06) as a fraction multiplication problem and explain why the answer is in thousandths (three decimal places).

astra-53 [7]

we have

$(2.3)(5.06)$

we know that

$2.3=\frac{23}{10}$

$5.06=\frac{506}{100}$

$(2.3)(5.06)=(\frac{23}{10})(\frac{506}{100})$

$=\frac{11,638}{1,000}$

$=11.638$

the answer is in thousandths, because the denominator of the multiplication of the two fractions is one thousand

A piggy bank contains 36 coins that consists of dimes and quarters totaling $5.85 how many quarters are in the piggy bank in you

Lesechka [4]

The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.

We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters

Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585

We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.

x + y = 36
10x+25y=585

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered

Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = $\frac{d}{15-x}$

time downstream = $\frac{d}{15+x}$

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

$\frac{d}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2d}{15+x}$

divide both sides by d

$\frac{1}{15-x}$ = $\frac{2}{15+x}$

cross multiply

$15+x= 2(15-x)$

$15+x= 30-2x$

Add 2x on both sideds

$15+3x= 30$

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

$3x=15$

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

At an art exhibition there are 12 paintings of which 10 are original. A visitor selects a painting at random and before decides

Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 0.8333

b) 0.75

c) 0.8181 or 0.9090

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is

10/12 = 0.8333

Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are independent, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is

0.8333*0.9 = 0.75

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

9/11= 0.8181

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

10/11= 0.9090
