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.

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure.<br>*​
BigorU [14]

Option C:

x = 30

Solution:

The given image is a triangle.

angle 1, angle 2 and angle 3 are interior angles of a triangle.

angle 4 is the exterior angle of a triangle.

m∠4 = 2x°, m\angle2=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ, m∠3 = 20°

Exterior angle theorem:

<em>In triangle, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

By this theorem,

m∠4 = m∠2 + m∠3

$2x^\circ=\frac{4}{3}x^\circ+20^\circ

Subtract \frac{4}{3}x^\circ on both sides of the equation.

$2x^\circ-\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

To make the denominator same and then subtract.

$\frac{6}{3}x^\circ -\frac{4}{3}x^\circ=20^\circ

$\frac{2}{3}x^\circ =20^\circ

Multiply by \frac{3}{2} on both sides of the equation.

x° = 30°

x = 30

Hence option C is the correct answer.
