The farm keeps 20 gallons of the milk produced each day to use on the farm and sells the rest of the milk to a distributor to be

sold in stores. The farm packages 10 gallons of the milk it keeps into gallon containers. The remaining 10 gallons are divided so that 5 gallons will be divided among one-quart containers, and 5 gallons will be divided among one-pint containers. A. Find the number of one-quart containers needed each day. B. Find the number of one-pint containers needed each day. C. Explain how you would find the number of one-quart and one-pint containers needed each week.

Answer:

A. 20 containers

B. 40 containers

C. 140, 280 containers

Step-by-step explanation:

What we should do is find the equivalences of a quarter and a pint, in gallons.

We have to:

1 gallon = 4 quarts.

1 gallon = 8 pints.

If we have 5 gallons of each.

A. 5 gallon * 4 quarts / 1 gallon = 20 one-quart containers per day are required.

B. 5 gallon * 8 pints / 1 gallon = 40 one-pint containers per day are required.

C. To find out what is needed each week, multiply by 7, since one week is 7 days.

So:

For one-quarter containers:

20 * 7 = 140 containers per week.

For one-pint containers:

40 * 7 = 280 containers per week.

What is the solution of the system? Use the elimination method. 2x+y=20 6x?5y=12
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(22, - 24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -5 to make the y's so you can add the up to zero.

-5(2x + y = 20)

-10x - 5y = -100  Add the second equation thn solve for x

<u> 6x + 5y = 12  </u>

-4x = -88  

x = 22

Plug 22 in for x in either equation

2x + y = 20

2 (22) + y = 20

44 + y = 20

y = -24

In the given figure, mWY = 76° and mXZ = 112. What is the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Please consider the attached image for complete question.

We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.

First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{WY}+\widehat{XZ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(76^{\circ}+112^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=\frac{1}{2}(188^{\circ})

m\angle WPY=94^{\circ}

We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.

m\angle WPY+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}

94^{\circ}-94^{\circ}+m\angle XPY=180^{\circ}-94^{\circ}

m\angle XPY=86^{\circ}

Now we need to find difference of both angles as:

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=94^{\circ}-86^{\circ}

m\angle WPY-m\angle XPY=8^{\circ}

Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.

A water tank already contained 24 gallons of water before a pump was switched to fill it. The pump started at 10:00 am and by 10
grigory [225]

Answer:

The equation to represent  the amount of water that the tank contains (W) after the pump was working for T hours can be given as:

W=32T+24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Water tank initially contained = 24 gallons of water

The pump to fill the tank was switched to fill it.

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank contained 40 gallons of water.

By 1:00 PM the tank contained 120 gallons of water.

To write an equation  which will tell the amount of water that the tank contains (W) after the pump was working for T hours

Solution:

Initially, gallons of water in tank = 24

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank had 40 gallons of water.

Thus, in half an hour the pump filled = 40-24 = 16 gallons

Using unitary method:

If in \frac{1}{2} of an hour water filled = 16 gallons

So, in 1 hour the water filled will be = 16\times 2 = 32 gallons

In 3 hours the water filled will be = 32\times 3 = 96 gallons

Thus, by 1:00 PM the water in the tank will be = 96+24 = 120 gallons

This confirms the data given for 1:00 PM.

This shows that the rate at  which the pump fills the tank is 32 gallons of water per hour.

The equation to represent  the amount of water that the tank contains (W) after the pump was working for T hours can be given as:

W=32T+24
