In this case you divide 170 by 7 which = 24.29 so 24.29 is your answer, good luck.

a village having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day. it has a tank measuring 20m x 15m x 6m. fo

allochka39001 [22]

The water will last for 3 days

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, village having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day

<em><u>Let us first find the volume of tank</u></em>

The tank measuring 20m x 15m x 6m

Length = 20 m

Breadth = 15 m

Height = 6 m

$volume\ of\ tank = length \times breadth \times height$

$Volume\ of\ tank = 20 \times 15 \times 6 = 1800$

Thus volume of tank is 1800 cubic meter

From given,

Water required per person per day = 150 liters

<em><u>Therefore, water required for 4000 people per day is:</u></em>

$\rightarrow 4000 \times 150 = 600000 \text{ liters }$

Convert to meters

$600000 \text{ liters } = 600000 \times \frac{1}{1000}\ m^3\\\\600000 \text{ liters } = 600\ m^3$

<em><u>How many days will the water of this tank last?</u></em>

$\text{Number of days water will last } = \frac{\text{volume of tank}}{\text{total water required per day}}$

$\text{Number of days water will last } = \frac{1800}{600} = 3$

Thus the water will last for 3 days

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

Alborosie

Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10

Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.

Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)

What is not a pair of equivalent fractions for 5/8 and 1/2

n200080 [17]

Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.<span>
5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18
15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2
45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6

Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number.

5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8.
2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5
9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9

Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide.

9/54: 1/6
20/40: 1/2
100/110: 10/11

Are these fractions equivalent?
No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole.

In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions?
I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.
