Answer: 125 cans

Pay attention to the word "times". "Times" means to multiply. We don't know how many cans we have right now. If we want to get up to 1000 cans of food. And we need to get 8 'times' the amount we already have, why not do the opposite of multilpication, and divide. So, you divide 1000 by 8. You get 125. Now, you can multilpy 125 by 8 and get 1000.

Hope this helps.

Divide 1000 by 8 which would give you 125. So they have 125 cans and they need to collect 8 times as many, meaning 8 times of what they have which is 125. And 125 times 8 is equal to 1000. YOU'RE WELCOME :D

If tan(<span>θ) is negative, then </span><span>θ must be either in Q-II or else in Q-IV.
Fortunately, the question tells us that it's in Q-II.


If you draw a circle on the x- and y-axes, then draw a right triangle
in Q-II, then mark the legs  3  and  -2, then the hypotenuse of the
triangle ... also the radius of the circle ... is  √13 .


Look for the angle whose tangent is  -3/2.
tangent = (opposite) / (adjacent)
So the side opp</span>osite is the 3 and the side adjacent is the -2.

For that same angle,   cosine = (adjacent) / (hypotenuse) .
The adjacent side is still the  -2, and the hypotenuse is  √13 .

So the cosine of the same angle is

                                 - 2 / √13 .

To rationalize the denominator (get that square root out of there),
multiply top and bottom by  √13 .  Then you have

                             (- 2 / √13) · (√13 / √13) 

                       =      - 2 √13 / 13  .

Marcus wants to use a model to determine the difference
grigory [225]

Electron transfer theory describes the parameters which control the rate at which an electron is transferred from one atom or molecule to another.

<h3>What was the basic principle of Marcus theory?</h3>
  • In theoretical chemistry, Marcus theory is a theory originally developed by Rudolph A. Marcus, starting in 1956, to explain the rates of electron transfer reactions – the rate at which an electron can move or jump from one chemical species.
  • Marcus' method (also referred to as Marcus's method and Method of Marcus) is a structural analysis method which was designed to design concrete slabs with rectangular, orthogonal shapes. It represents an adaptation of the strip method.
  • Marcus Hush theory (M-H theory) was developed in 1956 by Rudolph A. Marcus which explains the fundamentals of the redox/ electron transfer reactions in terms of the rate of jumping/moving an electron from oxidant species (electron donor) to the reductant (electron acceptor).
  • The "Marcus Inverted Region" (MIR) is that part of the function of rate constant versus free energy where a chemical reaction becomes slower as it becomes more exothermic.

We want to see how we can model the difference: -8 - 3 + 3

The correct option is D:

"add 3 positive counters and 3 negative counters"

We know that Marcus starts with 8 negative counters, corresponding to the first term in our difference.

Now, let's study the math of our expression.

-8 - 3 + 3

Remember that we can perform the operation in any order we want, so we can write this as:

-8 + (-3 + 3)

Notice that the thing inside the parentheses is equal to zero, so we have:

- 8 + (-3 + 3) = -8

So to not change the value, we add 3 and we subtract 3.

Now if we have 8 negative counters, and we want to add 3 positive counters and not change the value, then we also need to add 3 negative counters to "cancel" the 3 positive counters we added.

Then the correct option is D.
