The museum curator described the mechanical calculating device as completely antediluvian. In this sentence, the word antediluvian most nearly means which of the following?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: antiquated

Cevap

The word 'antediluvian' most nearly means 'antiquated'.
The word 'antediluvian' is composed of the Latin prefix 'ante-' (meaning 'before') and the root 'diluvium' (meaning 'flood'). Figuratively, it refers to something so ancient that it is out of date. Therefore, 'antiquated' is the precise synonym.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prefix and root components of the target word 'antediluvian'.
The Latin prefix 'ante-' means 'before', and the base root 'diluvium' refers to 'a flood' (specifically the biblical deluge).
Deconstructing the morphological components provides the foundation for deducing the word's literal and historical meaning.
2
Synthesize the literal root meaning into its standard figurative definition.
Literally meaning 'before the flood', the term is used figuratively to describe something so old that it belongs to an earlier, primitive era.
Advanced English vocabulary derived from classical roots frequently transitions from specific historical/biblical allusions to general descriptive adjectives.
3
Compare the deduced meaning against the available answer choices to select the closest synonym.
'Antiquated' directly corresponds to the meaning of being obsolete, primitive, or extremely old-fashioned.
Identifying the accurate synonym requires matching both the temporal reference and the evaluative tone of the root derivation.

Elaboration clues provide concrete evidence of how the target word functions in context.
3
Synthesize clues to determine the precise synonym.
The word 'pragmatic' means dealing with things sensibly and realistically; thus, 'practical' fits the context exactly.
Combining the contrast with theory and the focus on actionable results confirms that 'practical' is the direct synonym.

A community center is installing a protective rubber surface on a rectangular play area. The play area is 20 feet20\text{ feet} long and 15 feet15\text{ feet} wide. If the rubber surface material costs $5.00\$5.00 per square foot, what is the total cost of the material?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: \$1,500

Cevap

\$1,500
To find the total cost, first calculate the area of the rectangular space by multiplying the length by the width (20×15=300 square feet20 \times 15 = 300\text{ square feet}). Then, multiply the total square footage by the cost per square foot (300×5=1,500300 \times 5 = 1,500).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total area of the rectangular play area.
Area=20 feet×15 feet=300 square feet\text{Area} = 20\text{ feet} \times 15\text{ feet} = 300\text{ square feet}
The cost of the material is based on the square footage required to cover the surface, so the area must be determined first.
2
Multiply the total area by the cost per square foot to find the total cost.
Total Cost=300 sq ft×$5.00/sq ft=$1,500\text{Total Cost} = 300\text{ sq ft} \times \$5.00/\text{sq ft} = \$1,500
This determines the final price by scaling the calculated area by the given unit cost.

A logistics supply convoy has a strict operational window of 7272 hours to complete its route. The first leg of the journey takes 11 day, 99 hours, and 4545 minutes. The second leg takes 830830 minutes. Before the final leg, the crew takes a mandatory rest period of 4.54.5 hours. How many minutes remain in the 7272-hour operational window for the convoy to complete the final leg?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1195

Cevap

1195
The total operational window is 4,3204,320 minutes (72×6072 \times 60). The elapsed time includes 2,0252,025 minutes for leg 1 (33×60+4533 \times 60 + 45), 830830 minutes for leg 2, and 270270 minutes for rest (4.5×604.5 \times 60). The sum of these elapsed times is 3,1253,125 minutes. Subtracting the total elapsed time from the total available window leaves exactly 1,1951,195 minutes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate total available time in minutes.
4,3204,320 minutes
Converting the 7272-hour window to a smaller, standard unit (minutes) makes the final subtraction easier.
2
Convert the duration of the first leg entirely into minutes.
2,0252,025 minutes
The first leg is mixed units (11 day, 99 hours, 4545 minutes). 11 day = 2424 hours, plus 99 hours = 3333 hours. 33×60=1,98033 \times 60 = 1,980 minutes, plus 4545 minutes = 2,0252,025 minutes.
3
Convert the rest period into minutes.
270270 minutes
4.54.5 hours requires conversion. 4.5×60=2704.5 \times 60 = 270 minutes.
4
Calculate the total time elapsed.
3,1253,125 minutes
Sum the durations: 2,0252,025 (leg 1) + 830830 (leg 2) + 270270 (rest) = 3,1253,125 minutes used.
5
Subtract the elapsed time from the total window.
1,1951,195 minutes
4,320−3,125=1,1954,320 - 3,125 = 1,195 minutes remaining for the final leg.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 630

Cevap

630
The correct total distance is 630 miles. This is found by carefully converting the travel times of all three mission legs into hours, calculating the distance for each leg using the formula Distance = Rate × Time, and then summing the three results together.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the distance flown to reach the search zone.
180 mph * (4/3) hours = 240 miles.
Converting 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1.333... (or 4/3) hours is required to match the speed unit (mph).
2
Calculate the distance flown while searching the grid.
120 mph * 2.25 hours = 270 miles.
Converting 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2.25 hours is required to match the speed unit (mph).
3
Calculate the distance flown to return to base.
150 mph * 0.8 hours = 120 miles.
Converting 48 minutes to 48/60 or 0.8 hours is required to match the speed unit (mph).
4
Sum the distances from all three legs of the mission.
240 + 270 + 120 = 630 miles.
The total distance is the sum of the individual leg distances.
