A laboratory dispensing pump releases a liquid solution at a constant rate of $0.75\text{ deciliters per minute}$ . If $1\text{ deciliter} = 100\text{ milliliters}$ , what is the pump's dispensing rate, in milliliters per second?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.25

Cevap

The correct answer is 1.25. The pump dispenses 1.25 milliliters per second.

To find the dispensing rate in milliliters per second, we first convert the volume from deciliters to milliliters. Multiplying

0.75\text{ deciliters}

by

100\text{ milliliters per deciliter}

gives

75\text{ milliliters per minute}

. Next, to convert minutes to seconds, we divide the rate by

60

(since

1\text{ minute} = 60\text{ seconds}

), which yields

\frac{75}{60} = 1.25\text{ milliliters per second}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the dispensing rate from deciliters per minute to milliliters per minute using the conversion factor

1\text{ deciliter} = 100\text{ milliliters}

.

0.75\text{ deciliters/minute} \times 100\text{ milliliters/deciliter} = 75\text{ milliliters/minute}

This converts the volume unit from deciliters to milliliters.

2

Convert the rate from milliliters per minute to milliliters per second by dividing by

60

, since there are

60\text{ seconds}

in

1\text{ minute}

.

75\text{ milliliters/minute} \div 60\text{ seconds/minute} = 1.25\text{ milliliters/second}

This converts the time unit from minutes to seconds, yielding the final rate.

Cevap: 3.09

Cevap

The rate of

3.09

gallons per minute is closest to the drone's fertilizer spraying rate.

The correct answer is

3.09

because converting the speed of

4.5

miles per hour gives

396

feet per minute. Multiplying this by the width of

6

feet results in

2,376

square feet per minute. Dividing this by

Calculate the area covered by the drone per minute in square feet.

396\text{ feet/minute} \times 6\text{ feet} = 2,376\text{ square feet/minute}

Multiplying the travel speed in feet per minute by the path width of

6

feet gives the area covered per minute in square feet.

3

Convert the area rate from square feet per minute to square yards per minute.

2,376\text{ square feet/minute} \div 9 = 264\text{ square yards/minute}

Since

1\text{ yard} = 3\text{ feet}

, a square yard is

3 \times 3 = 9

square feet. Therefore, divide the area in square feet by

9

to convert to square yards.

4

Determine the fertilizer spray rate in fluid ounces per minute.

264\text{ square yards/minute} \times 1.5\text{ fluid ounces/square yard} = 396\text{ fluid ounces/minute}

A deep space satellite transmits data to a ground station at a constant rate of $1.6$ megabits per second. The transmitted data consists of actual scientific data and protocol overhead. The protocol overhead accounts for $25\%$ of the total transmitted bits, meaning the actual scientific data constitutes only $75\%$ of the total transmitted bits. The ground station needs to receive $5$ scientific data files, each with a size of $1.08$ gigabytes. How many hours will it take to transmit all $5$ files? (Given that $1\\text{ byte} = 8\\text{ bits}$ , $1\\text{ megabit} = 10^6\\text{ bits}$ , and $1\\text{ gigabyte} = 10^9\\text{ bytes}$ .)

Cevap: 10

Cevap

It will take 10 hours to transmit all 5 files.

The correct answer is 10. To find this, first calculate the total size of the scientific files: 5 files * 1.08 gigabytes per file = 5.4 gigabytes. Convert this to bytes: 5.4 * 10^9 bytes. Convert bytes to bits: 5.4 * 10^9 * 8 = 43.2 * 10^9 bits. Since protocol overhead is 25%, the scientific data is 75% of the total transmitted bits, so the total bits transmitted is 43.2 * 10^9 / 0.75 = 57.6 * 10^9 bits. The transmission rate is 1.6 megabits per second, or 1.6 * 10^6 bits per second. The transmission time in seconds is 57.6 * 10^9 / (1.6 * 10^6) = 36,000 seconds.

Convert the fuel consumption rate from liters per minute to liters per hour.

23\text{ liters/minute} \times 60\text{ minutes/hour} = 1,380\text{ liters/hour}

Since speed is in miles per hour, we convert the fuel consumption to a per-hour rate.

3

Convert the volume consumption rate to a mass consumption rate using the density.

1,380\text{ liters/hour} \times 0.80\text{ kilograms/liter} = 1,104\text{ kilograms/hour}

Density of

0.80\text{ g/mL}

is equivalent to

0.80\text{ kg/L}

because there are

1,000

grams in a kilogram and

1,000

milliliters in a liter.

4

Convert the mass rate from kilograms per hour to metric tons per hour.

\frac{1,104\text{ kilograms/hour}}{1,000\text{ kilograms/metric ton}} = 1.104\text{ metric tons/hour}

To match the final unit of metric tons, we divide the kilograms by

1,000

.

5

Calculate the fuel consumption rate in metric tons per mile by dividing the hourly fuel consumption by the hourly speed.

\frac{1.104\text{ metric tons/hour}}{27.6\text{ miles/hour}} = 0.04\text{ metric tons/mile}

Dividing the rate of fuel consumed per hour by the distance traveled per hour gives the fuel consumed per mile.

Cevap: 288

Cevap

The drone sprays 288 liters of fertilizer per hectare.

To find the number of liters sprayed per hectare, the rate of spraying must be converted from milliliters per second to liters per hour, and then divided by the coverage rate of hectares per hour. First, multiply the spray rate of

120

milliliters per second by the number of seconds in an hour (

3,600

seconds) to find that the drone sprays

432,000

milliliters per hour. Next, convert this volume to liters by dividing by

1,000

milliliters per liter, which gives

432

liters per hour. Finally, divide this hourly spray volume by the coverage rate of

1.5

hectares per hour to obtain

288

liters per hectare.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the volume of fertilizer sprayed in one hour in milliliters.

120\text{ mL/s} \times 3,600\text{ s/h} = 432,000\text{ mL/h}

There are

3,600

seconds in one hour, so multiplying the per-second rate by

3,600

gives the volume sprayed per hour.

2

Convert the hourly volume from milliliters to liters.

\frac{432,000\text{ mL/h}}{1,000\text{ mL/L}} = 432\text{ L/h}

Since
