A military training exercise lasts for exactly 2 hours and 45 minutes. What is the total duration of the exercise in minutes?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 165

Cevap

165
The correct total is found by converting the 2 hours into 120 minutes and adding the extra 45 minutes, resulting in a total of 165 minutes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the hours portion of the duration to minutes.
2 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes.
Time is based on a base-60 system, meaning each hour contains exactly 60 minutes.
2
Add the remaining minutes to the converted hour total.
120 minutes + 45 minutes = 165 minutes.
To find the total duration in a single unit, all partial time units must be combined.

A surveillance drone has a maximum flight endurance of 345 minutes before its battery is completely depleted. If the drone is launched at 21:40 for a continuous mission, at what time will the drone's battery be completely depleted?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 03:25

Cevap

03:25
To find the completion time, you must add the total duration to the start time. First, convert 345 minutes into hours and minutes by dividing by 60, which gives 5 hours with a remainder of 45 minutes. Next, add 5 hours and 45 minutes to the launch time of 21:40. Adding the hours gives 26:40. Adding the 45 minutes gives 26:85. Since 85 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour and 25 minutes, this shifts the time to 27:25. Finally, subtract 24:00 to account for crossing midnight, resulting in the correct time of 03:25.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the total flight duration from minutes to hours and minutes.
345 minutes ÷ 60 = 5 hours with a remainder of 45 minutes.
Converting to hours and minutes makes it easier to add to the given start time.
2
Add the flight hours to the launch time.
21:40 + 5 hours = 26:40.
This finds the hour of completion before adjusting for the 24-hour clock.
3
Add the remaining flight minutes to the result from Step 2.
26:40 + 45 minutes = 26:85.
This incorporates the remaining minutes of the flight time.
4
Format the resulting time into a standard 24-hour clock format.
26:85 becomes 27:25 (since 85 minutes is 1 hour and 25 minutes). 27:25 on a 24-hour clock is calculated as 27:25 - 24:00 = 03:25.
Time must be expressed in a standard 24-hour format, properly accounting for crossing midnight (24:00).

A city is designing a circular park with a diameter of 6060 meters. In the center of the park, there will be a circular concrete plaza with a diameter of 2020 meters. The rest of the park will be covered in grass. If the cost to plant grass is $0.50\$0.50 per square meter, what will be the total cost to plant the grass, expressed in terms of π\pi?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $400π\$400\pi

Cevap

The correct total cost is $400π\$400\pi.
The correct answer is found by first calculating the area of the entire circular park and subtracting the area of the concrete plaza. Using the formula Area=πr2Area = \pi r^2, the park's area is π(30)2=900π\pi(30)^2 = 900\pi and the plaza's area is π(10)2=100π\pi(10)^2 = 100\pi. The difference is 800π800\pi square meters. Multiplying this by the cost of $0.50\$0.50 per square meter results in a total cost of $400π\$400\pi.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the radii of the entire park and the central plaza.
Park radius = 3030 m. Plaza radius = 1010 m.
The area formula for a circle requires the radius, which is half of the diameter.
2
Calculate the total area of the park and the area of the plaza in terms of π\pi.
Total Area = π(30)2=900π\pi(30)^2 = 900\pi. Plaza Area = π(10)2=100π\pi(10)^2 = 100\pi.
We must determine the individual areas to find the space remaining for the grass.
3
Subtract the plaza area from the total park area to find the area to be covered in grass.
Grass Area = 900π−100π=800π900\pi - 100\pi = 800\pi square meters.
The grass will cover the portion of the park that is not occupied by the concrete plaza.
4
Multiply the grass area by the unit cost to plant the grass.
Total Cost = 800π×$0.50=$400π800\pi \times \$0.50 = \$400\pi.
The final question asks for the total cost, which is the area multiplied by the price per square meter.

Inside the greenhouse, there are three identical rectangular planting beds, each measuring 30 feet30 \text{ feet} by 12 feet12 \text{ feet}, which will not be covered by the fabric. The fabric is sold in rolls that cover 15 square yards15 \text{ square yards} each, and each roll costs $45\$45. Assuming partial rolls cannot be purchased and the company must buy whole rolls, what is the total cost of the fabric rolls needed to cover the designated floor area?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $1,440\$1,440

Cevap

The total cost of the fabric rolls needed is $1,440\$1,440.
The correct total cost is found by determining the subtractive area in square feet (5,400−1,080=4,3205,400 - 1,080 = 4,320), converting that area to square yards by dividing by 99 (480 sq yd480 \text{ sq yd}), determining the number of 1515-square-yard rolls needed (3232), and multiplying by the price per roll ($45\$45).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total area of the greenhouse floor.
120 feet×45 feet=5,400 sq ft120 \text{ feet} \times 45 \text{ feet} = 5,400 \text{ sq ft}
This establishes the maximum possible area to be covered before accounting for the exclusions.
2
Calculate the total area of the three planting beds.
3×(30 feet×12 feet)=3×360 sq ft=1,080 sq ft3 \times (30 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ feet}) = 3 \times 360 \text{ sq ft} = 1,080 \text{ sq ft}
The planting beds are not getting covered, so their combined area must be subtracted.
3
Subtract the area of the planting beds from the total greenhouse area.
5,400 sq ft−1,080 sq ft=4,320 sq ft5,400 \text{ sq ft} - 1,080 \text{ sq ft} = 4,320 \text{ sq ft}
This provides the net area of the floor that requires the weed-blocking fabric.
4
Convert the net area from square feet to square yards.
4,320 sq ft÷9 sq ft/sq yd=480 sq yd4,320 \text{ sq ft} \div 9 \text{ sq ft/sq yd} = 480 \text{ sq yd}
The fabric is sold based on coverage in square yards, so the area units must match. There are 99 square feet in one square yard (3 ft×3 ft3 \text{ ft} \times 3 \text{ ft}).
5
Determine the number of rolls needed.
480 sq yd÷15 sq yd/roll=32 rolls480 \text{ sq yd} \div 15 \text{ sq yd/roll} = 32 \text{ rolls}
Dividing the total square yards by the coverage per roll gives the required number of rolls.

Contrary to the historically popular belief that the adult human brain is rigid and unchanging, modern neuroscientists have demonstrated that neural pathways remain highly plastic throughout a person's life, constantly rewiring and adapting to new experiences.

Which of the following most nearly means the word plastic as it is used in the sentence above?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: malleable

Cevap

The correct answer is malleable.
The sentence uses the contrast phrase 'Contrary to' to oppose the idea of a 'rigid and unchanging' brain. Furthermore, it defines the target word by stating the pathways are 'constantly rewiring and adapting'. Therefore, the word describes something that can change shape or function. The word that best matches 'adaptable and changeable' is 'malleable'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sentence structure for context clues.
The sentence begins with the contrast phrase 'Contrary to', which sets up an opposition to the idea that the brain is 'rigid and unchanging'.
Identifying contrast transitions helps determine whether the target word is a synonym or antonym of surrounding descriptions.
2
Examine the direct defining clues provided after the target word.
The phrase 'constantly rewiring and adapting to new experiences' acts as a direct explanation of what it means for the pathways to be highly 'plastic'.
Authors often provide an explanatory phrase immediately following a difficult or domain-specific vocabulary word.
3
Evaluate the answer choices against the established meaning of 'adaptable and changeable'.
The word 'malleable' means capable of being altered or controlled by outside forces, which perfectly matches the context of a changing, adaptable brain.
Matching the synthesized contextual meaning with the correct synonym eliminates distractors based on secondary meanings.

A military supply vehicle is equipped with tires that have a radius of 1414 inches. How many complete revolutions does each tire make if the vehicle travels a straight-line distance of 1.51.5 miles? (Use π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7} and 1 mile=5,280 feet1 \text{ mile} = 5,280 \text{ feet}.)

Cevap: 1080

Cevap

1080
The total distance must be converted into inches (1.5 miles×5,280 ft/mile×12 in/ft=95,040 inches1.5 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ ft/mile} \times 12 \text{ in/ft} = 95,040 \text{ inches}). The tire's circumference (2×227×14=88 inches2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 = 88 \text{ inches}) represents one revolution. Dividing the total distance by the circumference (95,040÷8895,040 \div 88) gives exactly 1,0801,080 complete revolutions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the total travel distance from miles to feet.
1.5×5,280=7,9201.5 \times 5,280 = 7,920 feet
The distance must be in the same units as the tire measurements. It is easier to step down to feet first.
2
Convert the distance from feet to inches.
7,920×12=95,0407,920 \times 12 = 95,040 inches
Since the tire radius is in inches, the total distance must also be in inches to calculate revolutions accurately.
3
Calculate the circumference of the tire.
C=2×π×r=2×227×14=88C = 2 \times \pi \times r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 = 88 inches
One revolution of the tire equals its circumference, representing the distance traveled in a single rotation.
4
Calculate the total number of complete revolutions.
95,040÷88=1,08095,040 \div 88 = 1,080 revolutions
Dividing the total distance by the distance per revolution yields the total number of revolutions.

Anahtar Kavram

Calculating distance traveled using wheel revolutions requires relating linear distance to circular circumference, while ensuring all units of measurement are consistent.
