Answer:  The correct option is (a) 1 hour 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a pump will pump 125 gallons per minute.

We are to find the time that the pump will take to empty a 12000 gallon tank.

We have

Time taken by the pump to empty 125 gallons = 1 minute.

So, the time taken by the pump to empty 1 gallon will be

\dfrac{1}{125}~\textup{minute}.

Therefore, time taken by the pump to empty 12000 gallons is given by

\dfrac{1}{125}\times12000=96~\textup{minute}.

Now,

60 minutes = 1 hour.

So, 1 minute will be  \dfrac{1}{60}~\textup{hour}.

Therefore, 96 minute will be equal to

\dfrac{1}{60}\times96=1\dfrac{36}{60}=1~\textup{hour }36~\textup{minutes}.

Thus, the pump will take 1 hour 36 minutes to empty 12000 gallon tank.

Option (a) is CORRECT.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Null hypothesis is: U1 - U2 ≤ 0

Alternative hypothesis is U1 - U2 > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a comparison of the two types of training given to the salespeople. The requirement is to set up the hypothesis that type A training leads to higher mean weakly sales compared to type B training.

Let U1 = mean sales by type A trainees

Let U2 = mean sales by type B trainees

Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is: U1 - U2 ≤ 0

This implies that type A training does not result in higher mean weekly sales than type B training.

The alternative hypothesis (H1) is: U1 - U2 > 0

This implies that type A training indeed results in higher mean weekly sales than type B training.

Time used for the call to London: ($7.25-$1.25)/$0.25=24 minutes
24minutes+3minutes=27minutes
Difference between the two calls:27-18=9minutes

Manny used 8 tenth-size parts to model 8/10. Ana used fewer parts to model an equivalent fraction. How does the size of a part i
viktelen [127]
Alrighty, let's think of it like this: You are trying to fill a box with a bunch of sports balls. You have tiny little golf balls, and you have giant bowling balls. You need to fill this same box all the way up.

If you fill it with the tiny golf balls, you are going to need a <em>whole lot of them!</em>

If you are putting in bowling balls, only a few of them will fit, because they are so much bigger.

When it comes to your fraction, the box is the the number 8/10. That number will not change because we are not changing the size of the box.

We are just changing what we are filling it with. Manny, can fit 8 parts, or in this case balls, into the box.

It says Ana uses fewer parts, so she cannot fit as many in as Manny.

This means that Manny would have the golf balls, since he can fit more in than Ana, who must have the bowling balls.

So which is bigger? A bowling ball or a golf ball?

A bowling ball, which is what Ana has. So <u><em>Ana's part will be bigger</em></u> in size.
