AnnZ [12.3K]2 months ago
6 0

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 17% of the applicants (3,240) will receive acceptance.

0.17 * 3,240 = 550.8

Thus, 550 students will gain acceptance

we must round down since only 17% can be accepted, and having 0.8 of a person is not feasible

hope this helps

You have a fishing line spool with an end that has an area of 20.0 cm2. How much fishing line do you need to wind around the spo
PIT_PIT [12445]

Solution Procedure

Considering the spool as a cylindrical shape, and calculating the circumference based on the area cited, we establish the connection between circumference and area as follows:

... C = 2√(πA)

To find ten times this circumference, we calculate:

... 10C = 20√(π·20 cm²) = 40√(5π) cm ≈ 159 cm

Derivation of Formulas

The standard formulas for circumference and area are:

... C = 2πr

... A = πr²

Multiplying the area formula by π and extracting the square root yields:

... πA = (πr)²

... √(πA) = πr

Doubling this value results in the circumference formula:

... C = 2√(πA) = 2πr

a resorvoir can be filled by an inlet pipe in 24 hours and emptied by an outlet pipe 28 hours. the foreman starts to fill the re
zzz [12365]
To determine the rates at which the inlet and outlet pipes fill and empty the reservoir, we remember that work done equals rate multiplied by time. Let’s denote the inlet rate as i and for the outlet pipe as 0. Therefore,
i(24) = 1
o(28) = 1
In this context, the '1' represents the total number of reservoirs, since the problem states the time needed for each pipe to either fill or empty a singular reservoir. Solving for rates yields:
i = 1/24 reservoirs/hour
o = 1/28 reservoirs/hour

Over the first six hours, the inlet pipe fills (1/24)(6) = 1/4 reservoirs and during the same period, the outlet pipe empties (1/28)(6) = 3/14 reservoirs. To calculate the net volume of the reservoir filled, we subtract the emptying total from the filling total:
1/4 - 3/14 = 1/28 reservoirs (note that if emptying exceeds filling, a negative value results. In such cases, treat that negative value as zero, indicating that the outlet rate surpasses the inlet rate, leading to an empty reservoir).
Now we need to find out how long it will take to fill up one reservoir since we’ve already partially filled 1/28 of it, after closing the outlet pipe. In simpler terms, we need to determine the time required for the inlet pipe to finish filling the remaining 27/28 of the reservoir. Fortunately, we have already established the filling rate for the inlet pipe, leading to the equation:
(1/24)t = 27/28
Solving for t gives us 23.14 hours. Remember to add the initial 6 hours to this result since the question seeks the total time. Thus, the final total is 29.14 hours.

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, look at the graph below and determine the value of k. k = ______ Graph of two lines. f of x equa
lawyer [12517]

Solution:

We know, g(x) = f(x) + k --------(1)

It is given that f(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x+2)

and g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x+5)

Substituting f(x) and g(x) into equation (1):

→ \frac{1}{3}(x+5) = \frac{1}{3}(x+2) + k

→ \frac{1}{3}[x+5-x-2] = k

→ k = \frac{1}{3} \times 3=1

Thus, the value of k is 1.
