Answer: 320 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

The bottle is currently 3/8 full

Current Volume = 240 mL

Concept:

Imagine the water in the bottle being separated into 8 parts

Currently, 3 parts are being occupied

Determine the volume for 1 part

3 parts = 240 mL

1 part = 240 / 3 = 80 mL

Determine the volume for half-full (4 parts)

1 part = 80 mL

4 parts = 80 × 4 = $\Large\boxed{320~mL}$

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the length of the hypotenuse

Liula [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Hypotenuse: Pythagorean Theroem

a^2+ b^2= c^2

The legs are A and B

The side that is directly across from the Right angle is C

12^2 + 16^2 =C^2

144+256=400

400 = c^2

Square root on both sides to get rid of c^2

The square root of 400 is 20

c=20

The area of one field is 16 acres, and the area of the second field is 1 1/4 times bigger. A barn of wheat on the first field ma

gregori [183]

Answer: 23.89 thousands of pounds is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

the area of one field = 16 acres

Area of second field is given by

$1\frac{1}{4}\times 16\\\\=\frac{5}{4}\times 16\\\\=5\times 4\\\\=20\ acres$

A barn of wheat on the first field makes up

$3\frac{7}{12}\times 16\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times 16\\\\=57.33\text{ thousands of pounds.}$

A barn of wheat on the second field makes up

$1\frac{2}{15}\times 20\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times \frac{17}{15}\times 20\\\\=81.22\text{ thousands of pounds }$

Now,

$81.22-57.33=23.89$

Hence, 23.89 thousands of pounds is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

Tell whether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Adjacent angles. x = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles are angles that are right next to each other, sharing one side.

Since that is a right angle (90º):

X + 35 = 90

X + (35-35) = 90 - 35

X = 55

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

7/8 = /48 A. 1 B. 6 C. 42 D. 13

Vsevolod [243]

7/8 = x/48

Cross multiply, which is: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc

After cross multiplying, we get:

8x = 7(48)

8x = 336

Divide 8 on both sides

x = 42

Your final answer is B. 42.
