Answer:

1/3 or 0.3333... of a book each day

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many books Joseph can read in a day, we would take how many books he can read and the amount of days it would take.

4 / 12 = 0.3333...

To find the answer in fraction form, we would just reduce 4 / 12 by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF, 4.

4 / 4 = 1

12 / 4 = 3

4 / 12 = 1 / 3

PLEASE HELP! A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of 1/4 gallon per minute. Write an expression to determi

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

35 - m is the expression used to determine the number of gallons left in the tank after m minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tank with 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute

Calculations:

Let "m" represent the number of minutes spent
Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water
$=35-m * 1=35-m$
The required expression is 35 – m

Find a vector that is parallel to -9x+2y = 10. Please explain step by step

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One: Find the slope of the given Line

2y - 9x = 10 Add 9x to both sides

2y - 9x + 9x = 9x + 10 Combine

2y = 9x + 10

y = 9/2 x + 5

The parallel line has a slope of 9/2

Step Two: Find the magnitude

sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = r You don't have a magnitude. Invent one, r

x^2 + y^2 = r^2 Both sides have been squared

Step Three: Find the change in y / x

y / x = 9/2

Step Four: Find the value of y

y/x = 9/2 Multiply both sides by x

y = 9/2 * x

Step Five: Solve for x

x^2 + y^2 = r^2

x^2 +(9/2x)^2 = r^2

x^2 + 81x^2 / 4 = r^2 Change the 1 to common denominator 1 = 4/4

4/4 x^2 + 81x^2/ 4 = r^2

85 x^2/ 4 = r^2 Multiply both sides by 4/85

4/85 * (85 / 4) x^2 = 4/85 r^2

x^2 = 4/85 r^2 Take the square root of both sides

x = +/- 2/sqrt(85) r Rationalize the denominator

x = (+/- 2 sqrt(85) ) / 85 *

Step Six: Solve for y

y = 9/2 x

y = 9/2 * 2 sqrt(85) / 85 Cancel the 2s

y = +/- 9* sqrt(85)/85

Answer

<2*sqrt(85)/85 , 9 sqrt(85)/85>

You can write the minus answer if you need it. I kind of suspect you won't.
