Given:
x = beginning number of newspapers
24 = sold in the morning
(x - 24) * 2/7 = sold in the afternoon
x * 1/2 = remaining newspapers
5/7 of the remaining newspaper is equal to 1/2 of the original number.
(x - 24) * 5/7 = 1/2 * x
5x/7 - 120/7 = x/2
5x/7 * 2/2 - 120/7 * 2/2 = x/2 * 7/7
10x/14 - 240/14 = 7x/14
10x/14 - 7x/14 = 240/14
3x/14 = 240/14
14 * 3x/14 = 14 * 240/14
3x = 240
x = 240/3
x = 80
80 - 24 = 56 remaining newspaper in the morning
56 * 2/7 = 16 sold in the afternoon
80 - 24 - 16 = 80/2
40 = 40 remaining newspaper for the day.
The problem involves the volume of the water of the rectangular tank, so first we must find the volume of our water. For the volume we have;
Therefore our tank has an initial volume of 6250 cm³, but if you drop a cube with a side measuring 10 cm. the volume of the water in our tank increases. Giving us the expression;
Since we already have the volume of the water (which is 6250), we just need to find the volume of the cube using the same formula (<em>Volume = Lenght x Width x Height</em>);
Therefore our new volume when they are combined or when the cube is droped in the tank is 7250 cm³.
But we must remember since our tank would remain it's shape no matter how much water it holds it would always retain it's dimension of it's lenght and width (25x25), therefore it is possible to find the height of the new water level using this logic;
Therefore the height of the new water level is 11.6 cm.
Answer:
C. 17/20, rational
Step-by-step explanation:
.25 + 3/5
The least common denominator is 20 so
.25=1/4=5/20
3/5=12/20; therefore,
5/20 + 12/20=17/20.
17/20 is a fraction so is rational.
