Question 8 :
One calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules of energy. One calorie also represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1° Celsius. Based on this information, raising the temperature of 1 gram of water by 120° Fahrenheit would require how many joules of energy, to the nearest hundredth?
(1° Celsius = 33.8° Fahrenheit)
1. Answer :
The register records $5 for every deposit and the total balance in the register is $40.
Number of deposits :
= 40/5
= 8
There are 8 deposits in all.
The original value of each deposit is $8.
Then, the actual balance is
= no. of deposits x original value of each deposit
= 8 x $8
= $64
2. Answer :
Total distance covered at 6:20 PM = 75 miles.
Total distance covered at 6:40 PM = 85 miles.
Distance covered between 6:20 PM and 6:40 PM :
= 85 - 75
= 10 miles
Time gap between 6:20 PM and 6:40 PM is 20 minutes.
So, distance covered in 20 minutes = 10 miles.
Distance covered in one hour :
= 3 x 10 miles
= 30 miles
In other words, the speed is 30 miles per hour.
Distance covered at 6:40 PM :
= 85 miles
Distance covered at 7:00 PM :
= 85 + 10
= 95 miles
Distance covered at 8:00 PM :
= 95 + 30
= 125 miles
Distance covered at 8:20 PM :
= 125 + 10
= 135 miles
Distance covered at 8:30 PM :
= 125 + 5
= 140 miles
Jonathan had driven a total of 140 miles at 8:20 PM.
3. Answer :
Formula to find the distance :
= speed x time
Distance traveled by the train in 8 hours at the rate of 80 miles per hour :
= 80 x 8
= 640 miles
Formula to find the time :
= distance/speed
Time taken by the train to complete the same trip (640 miles) at an average speed of 120 miles per hour :
= 640/120
= 5⅓ hours
= 5 hours + 1/3 hours
= 5 hours + (1/3) x 60 minutes
= 5 hours + 20 minutes
= 5 hours 20 minutes
4. Answer :
Given : 8 ounces of cheese is enough for 2/3 of a pizza.
Let x be the number of ounces of cheese required for one pizza.
Then, we have
x : 1 = 8 : 2/3
x ÷ 1 = 8 ÷ (2/3)
x/1 = 8 ⋅ (3/2)
x = 12
So, 12 ounces cheese required for 1 pizza.
Convert 12 pounds to ounces :
12 pounds = 12 x 16 ounces
= 192 ounces
Number of pizzas can be produced with 192 ounces (= 12 pounds) of cheese :
= 192/12
= 16
5. Answer :
Given : Janice read x pages every 30 minutes for 4 hours.
30 minutes ----> x pages
1 hour ----> 2x pages
4 hours ----> 4(2x) = 8x pages
Given : Kim read y pages every 15 minutes for 5 hours.
15 minutes ----> y pages
1 hour ----> 4y pages
5 hours ----> 5(4y) = 20y pages
Total number of pages read by Janice and Kim on Friday :
= 8x + 20y
6. Answer :
Given : One container can hold 7.5 ounces of salad dressing.
Number of containers required to hold 150 ounces of salad dressing :
= 150/7.5
= 20
7. Answer :
Given : 5 hours required to manufacture 4 windows.
Let x be the number of hours required to manufacture 7 windows.
x : 7 = 5 : 4
x/7 = 5/4
Multiply both sides by 7.
x = 35/4
= 8¾ hours
= 8 hours + 3/4 hours
= 8 hours + (3/4) x 60 minutes
= 8 hours + 45 minutes
= 8 hours 45 minutes
It will take 8 hours 45 minutes to manufacture 7 windows.
8. Answer :
Convert 120° Fahrenheit to Celsius.
120° Fahrenheit = 120/33.8 Celsius
120° Fahrenheit ≈ 3.55° Celsius
Given : One calorie of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1° Celsius.
Let x be the number of calories of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 3.55° Celsius.
x : 3.55 = 1 : 1
x/3.55 = 1/1
Multiply both sides by 3.55.
x = 3.55
3.55 calories of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 3.55° Celsius.
Convert 3.55 calories to joules.
3.55 calories = 3.55 x 4.184 joules
≈ 14.85 joules
Therefore, 14.85 joules of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 3.55° Celsius or 120° Fahrenheit.
