In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\  \end{gathered}

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}

Tuesday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}

Wednesday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}

Thursday:

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

The new post office has an area that is 6.5 times the area of the old post office. Let p represent the area of the old post offi
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Area = 6.5p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area\ of\ Old = p

Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * Area\ of\ Old

Required

Write an expression for the area of new post office

From the question, we have the following:

Area\ of\ Old = p

and

Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * Area\ of\ Old

Substitute p for Area of Old in the second equation

Area\ of\ New = 6.5 * p

Area\ of\ New = 6.5 p

Hence, the expression is:

Area = 6.5p

Determine if (1, 3) is a solution to the given system of linear equations. 5x+y=8 x+2y=5
anygoal [31]

Answer:

No, because substituting the given ordered pair doesn't yields two true expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 8

5 + 3 = 8 so thats correct

x + 2y = 5

1 + 6 =7, not 5

so only 1 is correct

Complete this table showing the number of shaded triangles in each step and area of each triangle!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table attached we find,

Number of shaded triangles = 1

Area of each shaded triangle = 256 square inches

Now we can complete the table following the same pattern,

Step number     Number of shaded triangles   Area of the shaded triangles

        0                                   1                                                   256

        1                                    3                                  256 × 3 = 768

        2                                   5                                256 × 5 = 1280

        3                                   7                                  256 × 7 = 1792
