You are the Water Sanitation Engineer for Waterbury. Levels of bacterial cells in the water supply must be undetectable, which, in terms of the equation, is <1 per mL of drinking water. A single addition of chlorine yields a log kill every 5 minutes. During a storm, levels in the incoming water reach 10,000/mL. You hold the incoming water in a treatment tank and give it a single hit with chlorine. If you add the chemical at 10 a.m., when will it be safe to open the valve and release that water for drinking? (Recall that 10 raised to the 0 power is 1.)
The rating stamped on an oil burner nozzle tells the number of gallons of oilsprayed each hour. One day the nozzle sprayed oil for 8.25 hours. How manygallons were sprayed during that day?
