Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of filling from both pipes is the sum of the rates in units of tanks per hour. We want the time for 2/3 of a tank.

<h3>Sum of rates</h3>

The sum of the filling rates is ...

  rate A + rate B = (1/3) tank/hour + (1/2) tank/hour = 5/6 tank/hour

<h3>Fill time</h3>

The time to fill a tank or part thereof will be the number of tanks divided by the rate in tanks per hour:

  time = (2/3 tank)/(5/6 tank/hour) = ((4/6)/(5/6)) hour = 4/5 hour

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the fill time is ...

  (4/5 hour)×(60 min/hour) = 48 min

It will take 48 minutes for both pipes to fill 2/3 of the tank.

Verizon [17]

A= 1.142 m/hr

Width of beach at 8 p.m. = 36 m

Width of beach at 3 a.m. = (36-8) m =28 m

Average change in width(A) = change in width (Width of beach at 8 p.m.-Width of beach at 3 a.m.0/ time in hours

A= ( 36-28)/ 7

A= 8/7 m/hr

A = 1.142 m /hr

Find the equation of the line.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y = 0,5 x + (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the graph that when y = -3, the line crosses y axis, therefore

y = ? x + (-3)

We can also spot that when x = 6, y = 0

// now mark ? sign as a variable k and put the given x and y values into the previous expression

y = k * x - 3

0 = k * 6 - 3

k * 6 = 3

k = 3/6

k = 0,5
