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.

kirill [66]

Answer:

B

-15 < 99 and | -9 | < | 15 |

Step-by-step explanation:

Those lines " | " refer to absolute value, meaning it is the distance from 0. You can easily get this just by cutting off a negative sign.

So we do know -9 is greater than -15 obviously, and the absolute value of -9 is 9, because -9 is 9 units from 0.

-15 is 15 units away, so when using absolute value, -15 is greater than -9.

Btw, you can only give one brainliest, you don't get the option to give two on brainly.

Just saying.

Idc if I get it honestly.

Answer:

A. $7.50=$2.95-13x B. Answer would be $0.35, this is because you first subtract 2.95 from both sides, after that you get 4.55, you then divide the 4.55 by 13 which is the amount of bagels Sylvie bought. This leave you with the number 0.35, which is how much each bagel cost, 35 cents.

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 3 seconds? Remember that 1 mile is 
Dafna1 [17]

First you can convert 45 miles per hour to feet per hour:

45 × 5,280 = 237,600 feet per hour

Now you must remember that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. So you can divide 237,600 feet per hour by 60 to get feet per minute:

237,600 ÷ 60 = 3,960 feet per minute

Now you just have to divide 3,960 by 60 again to get feet per second:

3,960 ÷ 60 = 66 feet per second

Now you know how fast the car can travel (in feet) in a second. So to work out how many feet it travels in 3 seconds, you just have to multiply 66 by 3:

66 × 3 = 198 feet

Therefore your final answer is <em>198 feet</em> :)

A total of $5000 is invested: part at 9% and the remainder at 14%. How much is invested at each rate if the annual interest is $
IceJOKER [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • $200 at 14%
  • $4800 at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 14%. Then 5000-x is the amount invested at 9%. The interest earned is ...

  (14%)x +(9%)(5000 -x) = 460

  0.05x +450 = 460 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.05x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 450

  x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.05

  5000-x = 5000-200 = 4800

$200 was invested at 14%; $4800 was invested at 9%.
