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.

Which expression is equivalent to the one below?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

B. 5*\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

5÷7 is also \frac{5}{7}--that divided sign is what the fractional bar represents in a fraction.

now multiply 5*\frac{1}{7}=\frac{5}{1}*\frac{1}{7}=\frac{5*1}{1*7}=\frac{5}{7}

both are the same result, so your answer is Choice B.

angle a is supplementary to angle b. angle b is complementary to angle c . from this what can we conclude
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Angle A is larger than angle C

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is a visual concept. Since A is supplementary to angle B, then A is a greater measure than B, making B complimentary. B is complementary to Angle C making B the smallest angle, C the "medium angle" and A the largest angle. From this however, we can conclude angle A is larger than angle C.
