Answer:
60 ships.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x
One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x
One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x
Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2
Let surviving ships be represented by y
One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y
Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home
The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =
y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.
Hence
24 = 6/7y
24 = 6y/7
24 × 7/ 6
y = 168/6
y = 28
Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.
Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4
Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =
x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28
Collect like terms
x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30
x - (1/2x) = 30
1/2x = 30
x = 30 ÷ 1/2
x = 30 × 2
x = 60
Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.
Answer:
The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg
a = 7 units
b= 4 units
7^2 + 4^2 = c^2
49+ 16 = c^2
65 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)
8.062257748 =c
To the nearest tenth
8.1 =c
Answer:
i)W = 2500 / T
ii) W = 500 Tons
iii) grad W(10°) = - 25î
iv) The formulation is not practical
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Write an equation describing the use of coal
As use of coal is inversely proportional to the average monthly temperature
if W is use of coal in tons/per month then
W(t) = k / T where k is a constant of proportionality and T is the average temperature in degrees. We have to determine k from given conditions
k = ?? we know that when T = 25° W = 100 tons the by subtitution
W = k/T 100 = k /25 k = 2500 Tons*degree
Then final equation is:
W = 2500 / T
ii) Find the amount of coal when T = 5 degrees
W = 2500 / 5
W = 500 Tons
iii)
The inverse proportionality implies that W will decrease as T increase.
The vector gradient of W function is:
grad W = DW(t)/dt î
grad W = - 2500/T² î
Wich agrees with the fact that W is decreasing.
And when T = 100°
grad W(10°) = - 2500/ 100 î ⇒ grad W(10°) = - 25î
iv) When T = 0 The quantity of coal tends to infinite and the previous formulation is not practical
