Answer
0.47qt a sec
Reason
Convert the gallons to quart using the formula “q=4g”
q=4(7)= 28
So we learn that it’s 28 quarts a minute. To figure it out by the second divide by 60.
28 divided by 60 equals 0.4667
Round to the nearest hundredth and it equals
0.47
There for it is 0.47 quarts a second.

Natali [406]

<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
green and blue.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
We want to see which fractions </span></span> $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of. We know that $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{4}$ , because $\frac{1}{4}$ *3= $\frac{3}{4}$ .

We can divide fractions to determine if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{2}$ :
$\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{2}}$ ;

in order to divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ )* $\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{6}{4}$ =1 $\frac{1}{2}$ .
This did not divide evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is not a multiple of 1/2.

Checking to see if $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ , $\frac{ \frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{1}{8}}$ ;

flip the second one and multiply:
$\frac{3}{4}$ * $\frac{8}{1}$ = $\frac{24}{4}$ =6.
This divided evenly, so $\frac{3}{4}$ is a multiple of $\frac{1}{8}$ .

60 is x% of 12. Find the value of x.

Liula [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a percentage proportion to find the value of x.

$\frac{12}{x} = \frac{60}{100}$

Now we cross multiply:

$100\cdot12=1200\\\\1200\div60=20$

Hope this helped!
