Answer:

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.  

Explanation:

  Let a be the capacity of old tank and b be the capacity of new tank.

 A company added a new oil tank that holds 350 barrels of oil more than its old oil tank.

So we have    b - a  = 350 ----------------------equation 1

Together they hold 3650 barrels of oil

                        a + b = 3650 ----------------------equation 2

equation 1 + equation 2

                       2b = 3650 + 350 = 4000

                          b = 2000 barrels.

Substituting in equation 1

                  2000 - a = 350

                            a = 1650 barrels.

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Part A:    We know that 3 bushels is $24, and that rate remains constant, as the graph has a straight line.

Divide both sides by 3 to get 1 bushel=$8.

We can also double check with the other values: 48/6=$8 per bushel, 72/9=$8 per bushel, and so on.

The rate of change is the slope of a line (how much one value changes when the other value does). In this equation, the equation of the line is y=8x, so the slope is 8. Therefore, the rate of change is 8.

Part B:  In the previous year, each bushel of corn was 21/3, 42/6, etc., or $7 a bushel. This year, it is $8, so $8-$7=$1

Yuri [45]

6×10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

0.006

Move the point to the front of the first number that is from 1 to 9.

In the question it's 6, so you move it to the front of 6 .

And because it's from back to front it has to have a negative sign in its power

which is going to be

6× 10^-3

where 6=the number from 1 to 9

^ means raise to power or power of

-3= the negative power
