Question 171283: During the day, a truck driver encounters light, moderate, and heavy traffic. If he travels 1/3 hour in light traffic, 1/2 hour in moderate traffic, and 1/5 hour in heavy traffic, he can cover 21 miles. If he travels 1/5 hour in light, 1/4 hour in moderate, and 1 hour in heavy traffic, he can cover 16 miles. The sum of his speeds in moderate and heavy traffic is 5 miles per hour less than his speed in light traffic. Find his speed in each type of traffic.

Question 178141: Question:
Measurement of a piece of papers is 27.5 cm (length) x 21 cm (width). What is the area of a page in square centimeters? What is it in square millimeters?
I believe the answer to square centimeters is 577.5 cm^2 (27.5 x 21)
Not sure what the square millimeter is? I got 5775.00 mm^2. Not sure if that is correct? (1 centimeter is equivalent to 10 millimeters) Right? When I check my answer on a conversion calculator it comes up with 57750.

Question 179275: A porous catalyst for chemical reactions has an internal surface area (800m^2)/(cm^3) of bulk material . Fifty percent of the bulk volume consist of the pores-[holes] , while the other 50% is made up of the solid substance . Assume that the pores are all cylindrical tubules of uniform diameter d and length L , and that the measured internal surface area is the total area of the curved surfaces of the tubules . What is the diameter of each pore . Hint-[find the number of tubules per bulk cm^3, n , in terms of L and d , by using the formula for the volume of a cylinder V=.25(pi)d^2L . Then apply the surface area formula S=(pi)dL , to the cylindrical surfaces to the n tubules ] Please explain in detail , step by step , I have been working on this for three days , and I am not sure how to aproach question . The answer to this is 25 Angstroms , signed Michael

Question 181308: A column of water 2.31 feet high exerts a pressure of one (1) pound per square inch. How much pressure does a column of water 46.20 feet high exert?
--- I figured out that are are 27.72in in 2.31 feet. So I thought that meant there were 27.72 pounds of pressure. But because it is square inches I was questioning whether or not that was correct, therefore I did not go on to figure out the rest of the problem. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
