Jennifer bought a box of Crunchy Grain cereal. The nutrition facts on the box state that a serving size of the cereal is 3/4 cup and provides 210 calories, 50 of which are calories from fat. In addition, each serving of the cereal provides 180 milligrams of potassium, which is 5% of thedaily allowance for adults. If p percent of an adult’s daily allowance of potassium is provided by x servings of Crunchy Grain cereal per day, which of the following expresses p in terms of x ? |
|
Answer» p = 0.5x Choices A, C, and D are INCORRECT and may RESULT from incorrectly converting 5% to its decimal equivalent, which isn’t necessary since p is expressed as a percentage. Additionally, choices C and D are incorrect because the CONTEXT should be represented by a linear relationship, not by an exponential relationship. |

Charles Richter defined the magnitude of an earthquake to beM = log_(10) I/S, where I is the intensity of the earthquake (measured bythe amplitude of a seismograph reading taken 100 km from the epicentre of the earthquake) and S is the intensity of a ''standed earthquake'' (whose amplitude is 1 micron =10^(-1) cm). Each number increase on the Richter scale indicates an intensity ten times stronger. For example. an earthquake ofmagnitude 5. An earthquake of magnitude 7 is 100 times stronger then an earthquake of magnitude 5. An earthquake ofmagnitude 8 is 1000 times stronger than an earthquake of magnitude 5. The earthquake in city Aregistered 8.3 on the Richter scale. In the same year, another earthquake was recorded incity Bthat was four times stronger. What was the magnitude of the earthquake in city B ? |
|
Answer» `:.8.3 = log_(10). (I_(A))/S` Now`M_(B) = log_(10). (I_(B))/S` Where` I_(B) = 4I_(A)*` ` :.M_(B) = log_(10). (4I_(A))/S` ` = log_(10) 4+ log_(10). (I_(A))/S` ` = 0.6020 + 8.3` ` = 8.9020` So, magnitude of EARTHQUAKE in CITY B is ` 8.9020`. |

Two samples of water of equal mass are heated to 60 degrees Celsius (°C). One sample is poured into an insulated container, and the other sample is poured into a non-insulated container. The samples are then left for 70 minutes to cool in a room having a temperature of 25°C. The graph above shows the temperature of each sample at 10-minute intervals. Which of the following statements correctly compares the average rates at which the temperatures of the two samples change? |
|
Answer» In every 10-minute interval, the magnitude of the rate of change of TEMPERATURE of the insulated sample is greater than that of the non-insulated sample. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. None of these descriptions accurately compares the rates of temperature change shown in the graph for the 10-minute intervals. |
