Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.

Answer: 449,100 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of iceberg = 450,000 lb

The percentage of weight iceberg loses during the day = 0.2%=0.002

Now, the decrease in weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $0.002\times 450000=900\ lb$

Therefore, the new weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $450000-900=449,100\ lb$

What’s the answer to this important problem it is very idk

White raven [17]

1) 4/(1/5)

=4 ÷ 1/5
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/5

=4 * 5/1
=20

4) (7/9)/7

=7/9 ÷ 7
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 7

=7/9 * 1/7
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

=(7*1)/(9*7)
=7/63
simplify by 7
=1/9

7) (9/10)/6

= 9/10 ÷ 6
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 6

= 9/10 * 1/6
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= (9*1)/(10*6)
= 9/60
simplify by 3
= 3/20

ANSWER: 1) 20; 4) 1/9; 7) 3/20

Hope this helps! :)

What's the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4 m and the slant height of the cone is 15m? Rou

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The formula for the lateral surface area of a right circular cone is:
$\pi rl$
where r is the radius of the base, and l is the slant height.
Plugging in the values we get:
$Lateral\ area= \pi \times \frac{4}{2} \times15\ m^{2}$
