An underground aquifer near Seiling, Oklahoma, sits on an impermeable layer of limestone. West of Seiling the limestone layer is thought to slope downward in a straight line. In order to map the limestone layer, hydrologists started at Seiling heading west and drilled sample wells. Two miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220 feet. Three miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270 feet
(a) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer 5 miles west of Seiling
(b) You want to drill a well down to the limestone layer as far west from Seiling as you can. Your budget will allow you to drill a well that is 275 feet deep. How far west of Seiling can you go to drill the well? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 490ft.

(B) 2.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Important points to note:

- The limestone layer is thought or assumed to slope downward in a straight line.

- 2 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220ft.

- 3 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270ft.

(A) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer, 5 miles west of Seiling?

The expected depth of the limestone layer is:

2 miles + 3 miles = 5 miles

220ft + 270ft = 490ft

(B) Your budget will allow you drill a well that is 275ft deep. How far west of Seiling (in miles) can you go, to drill the well?

If 490ft  ~  5 miles

then 275ft  ~  K miles

K = [275 x 5] / 490  = 2.80612245 miles

Rounding to 1 decimal place, the distance is 2.8 miles.

forty percent of N is equal to two hundred forty. how do i write in number?​

Answers

40% of 600 is 240 :)

The number N whose forty percent is 240 is 600, or we say that 40% of 600 is 240

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

[tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]

For this case, we are specified that:

40% of N = 240

Since 40% of N is [tex]\dfrac{N}{100} \times 40[/tex], thus, we get

[tex]\dfrac{N}{100} \times 40 = 240[/tex] (as they both are same quantity, ie. 40% of N)

Now, solving it further to get value of N:

[tex]\dfrac{N}{100} \times 40 = 240\\\\\text{Multiplying 100 on both the sides}\\\\N \times 40 = 24000\\\\\text{Dividing both the sides by 40}\\\\N = 24000/40 = 600[/tex]

Thus,  40% of 600 is 240 or we say that the number N whose forty percent is 240 is 600

Paul has $30,000 to invest. His intent is to earn 11% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 7% interest and part at 13% interest. How much does Paul need to invest in each option to make a total 11% return on his $30,000?
7% interest =$?

13% interest =$?

Answers

Answer:

7% interest = $10000

13% interest = $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 7% interest be x.

Let the amount invested at 13% interest be y.

Thus;

x + y = 30000 - - - (eq 1)

We want to find out how much Paul needs to invest in each option to make a total 11% return on his $30,000.

Thus;

0.07x + 0.13y = 0.11(30000)

Multiply through by 100 to get rid of the decimal;

7x + 13y = 0.11(30000 × 100).

7x + 13y = 330000 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, x = 30000 - y

Put this for x in eq 2 to get;

7(30000 - y) + 13y = 330000

210000 - 7y + 13y = 330000

6y = 330000 - 210000

6y = 120000

y = 120000/6

y = $20000

x = 30000 - 20000

x = $10000

Thus;

Amount invested at;

7% interest = $10000

13% interest = $20000

A restaurant has 23 tables. Some of the tables seat 4 persons and the rest seat two persons. In all, 76 persons can be seated at once. How many tables of each kind are there?

Answers

Answer:

15 tables with 4 seats and 8 tables with 2 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4 seated tables

y = 2 seated tables

x + y = 23

4x + 2y = 76

Multiply first equation by -2 to cancel y's:

-2x - 2y = -46

4x + 2y = 76

2x = 30

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

And we said 23 tables so:

23 - 15 = 8

x = 15

y = 8

At a football stadium, 4% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 260 teenagers at the football stadium, what was the total number of people at the stadium?

Answers

Answer:

solution

4%=260

100%=?

=(100x260)/4

=6500

Percentage of fans in the stadium who were teenagers = 4%

Number of teenagers in the match = 260

Let the total number of people at the stadium be x.

Which means :

[tex] =\tt 4\% \: \: of \: \: x = 260[/tex]

[tex] =\tt \frac{4}{100} \times x = 260[/tex]

[tex] =\tt \frac{4 \times x}{100} = 260 [/tex]

[tex] = \tt \frac{4x}{100} = 260[/tex]

[tex] = \tt4x = 260 \times 100 \\ \tt \: \: \: = 26000[/tex]

[tex] =\tt x = \frac{26000}{4} [/tex]

[tex]\color{plum} =\tt x = 6500[/tex]

▪︎Therefore, number of people at the stadium = 6500
