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.

You downloaded a video game to your computer. You have a 60-minute free trial of the game. It takes 5 1/6 minutes to set up the
igomit [66]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The time for set up the game =  5\frac{1}{6} minutes,  

Also, the time for each level of game is 7\frac{1}{3\\} minutes,  

If there are l levels of games,  

Then the time taken in all levels of game = (7\frac{1}{3}) l<em> </em>

Hence, the total time ( in minutes ) = Set up time + time in all level

= 5\frac{1}{6} +(7\frac{1}{3}) l

We have 60-minute of free trial of the game,

So, the total time taken can not be exceed to 60 minutes,

= 5\frac{1}{6} +(7\frac{1}{3}) l\leq 60

Which is the required inequality.  

Option 'B' is correct.

steve has quiz scores of 60,64,75,71. If all the quizzes count the same, what is the lowest grade he can make on the next quiz t
NeX [460]

Answer:

The last quiz score must be at least an 80 to get the average to be a 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you need to take the average of the 4 test scores along with the unknown test score (x). So, to find an average, we add all the numbers together and divide by the amount of tests taken. We can then set this equal to 70 since that is the minimum average.

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x)/5 = 70 ------> Multiply both sides by 5

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x) = 350 -----> Combine like terms

270 + x = 350 -----> Subtract 270 from both sides

x = 80

Suppose Jamal visits a record store with 788 records. If 264 of the records are from the years 1975 to 1979 and Jamal selects a
svetoff [14.1K]

34% because to find the percentage you need to divide the amount in the time, 264, by the total amount of records, 778, and when you do that you get around .335, and convert that to a percentage you multiply it by 100, and you get 33.5%, but then you round it up to 34%.

Rhonda can travel 45 miles in 3 hours while on her skateboard. at this rate, how many hours does it take to travel 1 mile
Rasek [7]

The question is relating Rhonda's distance travelled and time taken

If 45 miles = 3 hours

Then, 1 mile = 3/45 hours

=\frac{1}{15}

Therefore, it will take Rhonda 1/15 hours to travel 1 mile.
