Answer:

It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
  2. Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
  3. Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
  4. If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
  5. They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
  6. This is 1 minute 12 seconds

Answer: A; 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

For the first problem, we first want to find y so that we can plug it into the expression.

We can use elimination method for the system of equations to solve.

3x+3y=21

3x-y=5

We subtract both equations to eliminate x.

4y=16                                        [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we know y, we can plug it into the expression.

\frac{4}{2} -3                                         [divide]

2-3                                         [subtract]

-1

We know that the answer is A.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 2

For the second problem, we need to know how to calculate percent error. The formula for precent error is \frac{|measured-exact|}{exact} *100%. We know that the exact value is 80 because the buyer was supposed to given 80. 75 is the measured value because that was what the buyer was given.

\frac{|75-80|}{80} *100%                               [subtract]

\frac{|-5|}{80} *100%                                   [solve absolue value]

\frac{5}{80} *100%                                     [divide]

0.0625*100%                               [multiply]

6.25

Since the problem said to round to one decimal place, we know that the answer is 6.3%.
