- <em>It takes</em><u> 2.5 minutes </u><em>to fill the tank.</em>
Explanation:
The net speed or net rate for filling the 10-liters tank is equal to the speed the tap is filling less the speed the water is leaking through the hole located at the bottom of the tank:
- Net rate = rate of filling - rate of leaking
- Net rate = 5 liters/minute - 1 liter/minute
- Net rate = 4 liters/minute
Thus, consiedering the tank is empty at the beginning, the time is:
- Time = Volume of the tank / net rate of filling
- Time = 10 liters / (4liters/minute)
- Time = 2.5 minutes ← answer
I believe it is, 9/5.
Mixed fraction: 1 4/5.
Answer:
w=4
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a prism is SA= 2lw+2lh+2hw
We are trying to find out the width if the SA is 240 square inches, length is 12 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Let's plug these numbers into the equation.
240=(2*12*w)+(2*12*5)+(2*5*w)
24w+120+10w
240= 34w+120
-120 -120
120= 34w
120/34 = 34w/34
w is approximately equal to 3.5 which can be rounded to 4
w=4
Hope this is right! It was confusing at first but I understood it!
