Answer: x = 7

Thus 7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

Step-by-step explanation:

7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

Let "x" be the number of associates assigned to

case

Let "y" be the number of partners assigned to the case

The law firm assigned a total of 17 lawyers to the case

Therefore,

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y --------- eqn 1

daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $800

daily rate for each partner is $1800

They was able to charge the client $23600 per day for these lawyers' services

Therefore,

800x + 1800y = 23600 ------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

800(17 - y) + 1800y = 23600

13600 - 800y + 1800y = 23600

1000y = 23600 - 13600

1000y = 10000

Divide both sides by 1000

y = 10

Substitute y = 10 in eqn 1

x = 17 - 10

x = 7

Thus 7 associates and 10 partners were assigned

When a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a ra

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$r=\sqrt{10}\text{ m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that when a cylindrical tank is filled with water at a rate of 22 cubic meters per hour, the level of water in the tank rises at a rate of 0.7 meters per hour. We are asked to find the approximate radius of tank in meters.

We will use volume of cylinder formula to solve our given problem as:

$V=\pi r^2h$ , where,

r = Radius,

h = Height of cylinder.

Since the level of water in the tank rises at a rate of 0.7 meters per hour, so height of cylinder would be $h = 0.7$ meters at $V=22\text{ m}^3$ .

Upon substituting these values in above formula, we will get:

$22\text{ m}^3=\frac{22}{7}\cdot r^2(0.7\text{ m})$

$22\text{ m}^3=\frac{22}{10}\cdot r^2\text{ m}$

$\frac{10}{22}\cdot\frac{22\text{ m}^3}{\text{m}}=r^2$

$r^2=\frac{10}{22}\cdot\frac{22\text{ m}^3}{\text{m}}$

$r^2=10\text{ m}^2$

Now, we will take positive square root of both sides as radius cannot be negative.

$\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{10\text{ m}^2}$

$r=\sqrt{10}\text{ m}$

Therefore, radius of tank would be approximately square root of 10 m.

PLEASE SOVEL THIS I WILL GIVE OUT 20 POINT

Anettt [7]

Answer:

21.25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In miles per second, the speed of the jet is ...

(720 mi/h)/(3600 s/h) = 1/5 mi/s

The speed of the sound is the same:

(1 mi)/(5 s) = 1/5 mi/s

Then the rate of closure between the airplane and the sound is ...

(1/5 mi/s) +(1/5 mi/s) = 2/5 mi/s

To find the time required to close a gap of 8 1/2 miles, we can use the relation ...

time = distance/speed

time = (8.5 mi)/(0.4 mi/s) = 21.25 s

The pilot will hear the thunder 21.25 seconds after the flash.
