Complete question is;

The levels of mercury in two different bodies of water are rising. In one body of water the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) and is rising at a rate of 0.1 ppb each year. In the second body of water the initial measure is 0.12 ppb and the rate of increase is 0.06 ppb each year.

Which equation can be used to find y, the year in which both bodies of water have the same amount of mercury?

A) 0.05 – 0.1y = 0.12 – 0.06y

B) 0.05y + 0.1 = 0.12y + 0.06

C) 0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

D) 0.05y – 0.1 = 0.12y – 0.06

Answer:

Option C: 0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first body, the initial measure of mercury is 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) while it's rising at a rate of 0.1 ppb each year. We are told to use y for the number of years.

Thus, amount of mercury for y years in this first body is;

A1 = 0.05 + 0.1y

Now, for the second body, we are told that;the initial measure is 0.12 ppb and the rate of increase is 0.06 ppb each year.

Thus, amount of mercury for y years in this second body is;

A2 = 0.12 + 0.06y

Since we want to find the year in which both bodies of water have the same amount of mercury. Thus, it means;

A1 = A2

Thus;

0.05 + 0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y

Milton makes trail mix for his hiking group he makes a 1 and 1/4 pound of peanuts 14 oz of raisins 12 oz of walnuts in 10 oz of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

where;

Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds

Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds

Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds

Replacing;

Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds

Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers

where;

Trail mix=3.5 pounds

Quantity per hiker=q

Number of hikers=8

Replacing;

3.5=q×8

q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

I pound=16 ounces

q=0.4375×16=7 ounces

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

A mule dear can 1/4 of a mile in 25 seconds. At this rate, what expression can be used to determine how fast a mule deer runs in
Naddika [18.5K]
We have to find how many seconds are in one hour.
There are 60 seconds in one minute, with 60 minutes in every hour.
60×60=3600
Now, see how many 25 seconds are in 3600 seconds.
3600÷25= 144
Now, we can multiply 144 by 14 or .25 since we are trying to find per hour.
144×.25= 36
36h
H being the hours you're trying to find. It runs 36 miles per hour.
