Answer:

1. 8.8 gallons per hour

2. 9:20 am

3. 8:04 am

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank lost 22 gallons of water in 150 minutes (2.5 hours)

This is a rate of 0.14666 gallons per minute or 8.8 gallons per hour

The function: 200 - 0.147(x)

So at 4:30 pm, the tank lost 63 gallons. So at a rate of 8.8 gallons per hour, that means it has been leaking for 7.16 (.16 hours = 9.6 minutes) hours.

So it has been leaking since 9:20 am.

In order for it to completely empty, it needs to drain 115 gallons of water.

At a rate of 8.8 gallons per hour, that means it needs 13.068 hours or 13 hours and 4 minutes.

So it will be empty at 8:04 am.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a , b , c & d be the no. of chairs in hall A , B , C & D respectively.

Given,

b = 4a

c = a + 15

d = a + 8 + 4a = 5a + 8

Now,

Total no. of chairs (T) = a + b + c + d

                                   = a + 4a + a + 15 + 5a + 8

                                   = 11a + 23

Now,

Average chairs in each hall (Avg) = T/4

                                                       = (11a + 23)/4
