The answer is -8/15. This is a for sure correct answer.
Lets look at the number. 76.78. In each of the different place holders the number is higher than 5. Lets do some examples. 74 rounded to the nearest whole number is going to be 70. 76 rounded to the whole number will be 80. The .78 in your question also contributes.
Answer: 80
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
(It might also have helped immensely if you had been listening
when this was being explained in class.)
The first pipe fills 1/20 of the tank each minute.
The second pipe fills 1/30 of the tank each minute.
Operating together, the two pipes fill ( 1/20 + 1/30 ) of the tank each minute.
In order to add these fractions (or any fractions), you need a common denominator.
For these particular ones, ' 60 ' is a good choice.
( 1/20 + 1/30 ) = ( 3/60 + 2/60) = 5/60 = 1/12
The rate of work is 1/12 tankful per minute .
The most sensible choice for the time is 12 minutes.
R x T = W
( 1/12 tankful per minute ) x ( 12 minutes ) = 1 full tank
