The Chesapeake Bay holds about 18 trillion gallons of water. The bay covers 4,480 square miles or 2,867,200 acres. Each acre can hold 750,000 oysters. Each oyster can filter 50 gallons of water each day. Can there be enough oysters to filter the whole Chesapeake Bay in one day

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are enough oysters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Volume = 18\ trillion\ gallon[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2867200\ acre[/tex]

[tex]1\ acre = 750000\ oysters[/tex]

[tex]1\ oyster = 50\ gallons[/tex]

Required

Determine if there is enough water for a day

We have:

[tex]1\ oyster = 50\ gallons[/tex]

Convert to oysters: multiply both sides by 750000

[tex]750000 * 1\ oyster = 50\ gallon *750000[/tex]

[tex]750000\ oysters = 37500000\ gallons[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]1\ acre = 750000\ oysters[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]1\ acre= 37500000\ gallons[/tex]

Convert to acre: Multiply by 2867200

[tex]2867200 * 1\ acre= 37500000\ gallons * 2867200[/tex]

[tex]2867200\ acres= 107520000000000\ gallons[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]18000000000000\ gallons < 107520000000000\ gallons[/tex]

i.e. the volume of water in the bay is less than the capacity of the oysters. Hence, there are enough oysters.

A baseball tournament begins with 128 teams. After each round of games , only half of the teams are left. How many teams will be left after two rounds of games?
12
16
8
Or 32

Answers

Answer:

128/2=64/2=32

Step-by-step explanation:

you really need a help with that ? you don't know how to divide by 2 ? and then to divide the result another time by 2 ?

not to mention that you could achieve that with in division by 4 (as this is the save as dividing by 2 and then again by 2).

putting such questions in here is a farce and a waste of time for the helping people.

Answer:  D) 32

Explanation:

Each time we progress through a round, the teams count is cut in half.

After round one, there are 128/2 = 64 teams left (since we have 64 winning teams and 64 losing teams)

After the second round, there are 64/2 = 32 teams left over

n the graph below determine how many real solutions the quadratic function has, and state them, if applicable. List solutions in order from left to right on the graph, or least to greatest. If the function has only one solution, type the solution in both of the boxes. If there are no real solutions type “none” in both boxes.

Answers

Answer:

There are no real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 options.

2 real solutions: This happens if in the graph, each arm intersects the x-axis, this means that there are two different values of x such that the equation:

a*x^2 + b*x + c

is equal to zero.

Another way to see this, is if the determinant:

b^2 - 4*a*c

is larger than zero.

1 real solution: This happens when the vertex of the graph intersects the x-axis. This means that there is a single value of x such that:

a*x^2 + b*x + c

is equal to zero.

Another way to see this is if the determinant:

b^2 - 4*a*c

is larger equal zero.

No real solution: if in the graph we can not see any intersection of the x-axis, then we do not have real solutions (only complex ones).

Another way to see this is if the determinant:

b^2 - 4*a*c

is smaller than zero.

Now that we know this, let's look at the graph.

We can see that the vertex is below the x-axis, and the arms of the graph go downwards. So the arms will never intersect the x-axis (and neither the vertex).

So the graph does not intersect the x-axis at any point, which means that there are no real solutions for the quadratic equation.

The correct answer would be "none"

The velocity of a particle moving along a straight line is given by v(t)=6t2+4t−5 cm/sec at time t seconds with initial position s(0)=3 cm. What is the position of the particle at t=2 seconds, in cm?

Answers

Answer:

s(2) = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the velocity function is;

v(t) = 6t² + 4t − 5 cm/sec

Integral of velocity gives distance.

Thus;

s(t) = ∫v(t) = ∫6t² + 4t − 5

s(t) = 2t³ + 2t² - 5t + c

We are told that s(0)=3 cm

Thus;

s(0) = 2(0)³ + 2(0)² - 5(0) + c = 3

Thus; c = 3

Thus;

s(t) = 2t³ + 2t² - 5t + 3

At t = 2 secs

s(2) = 2(2)³ + 2(2)² - 5(2) + 3

s(2) = 17 cm

Total mass = 8 kg

Mass of tool 1 = 4 kg

Mass of tool 2 = 2 kg

So,

Total mass = Mass of tool 1 + Mass of tool 2 + Mass of tool 3

=> 8 kg = 4 kg + 2 kg + Mass of tool 3

=> 8 kg = 6 kg + Mass of tool 3

=> 8 kg - 6 kg = Mass of tool 3
