For this case we can propose a rule of three:

$\frac {1} {3}$ bottle ------------> $\frac {5} {9}$ minutes

x --------------------------------------> 1 minute

Where the variable "x" represents the number of bottles that can be filled in 1 minute.

$x = \frac {1 * \frac {1} {3}} {\frac {5} {9}}\\x = \frac {\frac {1} {3}} {\frac {5} {9}}\\x = \frac {9 * 1} {3 * 5}\\x = \frac {9} {15}\\x = \frac {3} {5}$

Thus, William can fill $\frac {3} {5}$ of a water bottle in 1 minute.

Answer:

William can fill $\frac {3} {5}$ of a water bottle in 1 minute.

Can someone help me find the volume of this?

GalinKa [24]

To find the volume of any cube you need to know the length, width and height. The formula to find the volume multiplies the length by the width by the height. The good news for a cube is that the measure of each of these dimensions is exactly the same. Therefore, you can multiply the length of any side three times.

The table shows the number of championships won by the baseball and softball leagues of three youth baseball divisions organized

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

heyq

The correct answer is:

7/10

Explanation:

Finding the totals of each column and row, we find:

There are 3+2+1 = 6 children in the baseball league.

There are 7+2+1 = 10 children in the softball league.

There are 3+7 = 10 children in the 7-9 division.

There are 2+2 = 4 children in the 10-12 division.

There are 1+1 = 2 children in the 13-15 division.

There are a total of 10+6 = 16 children.

We start with the information that the team is a member of the softball league. There are 10 children in this league; this is the denominator of the probability.

There are 7 children in the 7-9 division that are in the softball league. This gives us the probability 7/10.

please you are a student study well especially graph is easy thing to do.

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

$-2x^2+4x=-1$ . Now we factor out the -2:

$-2(x^2-2x)=-1$ . Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2$ . Simplifying gives us this:

$-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3$

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

$-2(x-1)^2+3=y$

From this form,

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

The solid surface area is equal to the solid volume. Find the value of x? The measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$x=7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent height of the prism.

We know that volume of rectangular is equal to product of its height, width and length.

$\text{Surface area of rectangular prism}=2(wl+lh+hw)$ , where w, h and l represents width, length and height respectively.

We have been given that the surface area of rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the prism. So we can set an equation as:

$lwh=2(wl+lh+hw)$

We are also told that the measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. Upon substituting these values in above equation, we will get:

$9\cdot 4\cdot x=2(4\cdot 9+9\cdot x+x\cdot 4)$
