No it will not because if you put the two half gallons together, one gallon is equal to 3.785411784 liters

Answer:

The two half-gallon jugs will hold all of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gallon and the liter are two units of volume. Let's write the equivalent expression between them :

1gal=3.78541L

To solve this problem, we need to find out which volume is greater : The volume of the three-liter bottle or the volume of the two half-gallon jugs.

The volume of two half-gallon jugs is equal to :

Volume=(2).(\frac{1}{2})gal=1gal

Two half-gallon jugs can storage 1 gallon in total.

1 gal is equal to 3.78541 L (We write this at the beginning of the answer). Now, given that the volume of water stored by the three-liter bottle is 3 L or less (because of the small leak) :

3.78541L>3L

Therefore, the volume of the two containers is greater than the maximum volume of water stored in the three-liter bottle ⇒ The containers will hold all of the water.

alexgriva [62]

Move the negative sign to the left

-x/5 = -20

Multiply both sides by 5

-x = -20 × 5

Simplify 20 × 5 to 100

-x = -100

Multiply both sides by -1

<em>x = 100</em>

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age
Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = \frac{x}{2}

2 years more than half of April's age = \frac{x}{2}+2

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2

$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4

$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42

$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = \frac{14}{2}+2

                    = 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.
