Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:

55-20= the pages Andre read

55-20=35

Andre read 35 pages.

If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)

35 x 5= 175

There are 175 pages in the book.

Water whose temperature is at 100∘C is left to cool in a room where the temperature is 60∘C. After 3 minutes, the water temperat
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

21.68 minutes ≈ 21.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

T=60+40e^{kt}

Initial temperature

T = 100°C

Final temperature = 60°C

Temperature after (t = 3 minutes) = 90°C

Now,

using the given equation

T=60+40e^{kt}

at T = 90°C and  t = 3 minutes

90=60+40e^{k(3)}

30=40e^{3k}

or

e^{3k}=\frac{3}{4}

taking the natural log both sides, we get

3k = \ln(\frac{3}{4})

or

3k = -0.2876

or

k = -0.09589

Therefore,

substituting k in 1 for time at temperature, T = 65°C

65=60+40e^{( -0.09589)t}

or

5=40e^{( -0.09589)t}

or

e^{( -0.09589)t}=\frac{5}{40}

or

e^{( -0.09589)t}=0.125

taking the natural log both the sides, we get

( -0.09589)t = ln(0.125)

or

( -0.09589)t = -2.0794

or

t = 21.68 minutes ≈ 21.7 minutes
