First off we change the mixed numbers into an improper fraction. 
This is how we do it 
denominator x whole number + numerator. 
9 x 3 + 5 = 32/9 
8 x 1 + 7 = 15/8 
Now we can multiply. 
15 x 32 = 480 
8 x 7 = 56 
480/56 
Since this is an improper fraction we have to change it to a mixed number
This is how we do it
numerator ÷ denominator 
480 ÷ 56 = 8 32/56 
8 32/56 simplified = 8 4/7 
The answer is 8 4/7  

I hope this helps!

Andrew fish tank holds 144 gallons of water. To clean the tank, he drains the water at a rate the water at a rate of 6 gallons p
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * \frac{1}{3} .... first multiply the right side of the equation

6t = 48   ... next divide both sides by 6

t = 8

Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.

Sloan [31]

The side is 8 feet = 8*12 inches = 96 inches

Plants are needed if they are to be spaced 8 inches apart around the outside of the bed

96/8 = 12 ... so we need 12 plants on each side, please note it is including the corners.

If we not incluse corner, the flowers will be 10 each side.

Means total flower : 10 * 4 (each side) + 4(corner)

The total needed is 44 plants. : Answer
