Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the total amount of water a tank can hold is  14\frac{1}{2} gallons.

To find the number of 1\frac{1}{4} gallon buckets of water can be used to fill the tank we will divide the total amount of water in the tank by amount of water in one bucket.  

\text{Number of water buckets used}=\frac{\text{Total amount of water in the tank}}{\text{Amount of water in one bucket}}

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

\text{Number of water buckets used}=\frac{14\frac{1}{2} }{1\frac{1}{4}}

\text{Number of water buckets used}=\frac{\frac{29}{2} }{\frac{5}{4}}

Dividing a fraction with another fraction is same as multiplying the reciprocal of second fraction with the first fraction.  

\text{Number of water buckets used}={\frac{29}{2}}\times {\frac{4}{5}}

Therefore, all the above expressions can be used to find the number of 1\frac{1}{4} gallon buckets of water will be needed to fill the tank.

Which of the following is a zero does the function f (x) =(x+3) (x-7) (x+5)
Over [174]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 3)

x+3=0

-3 -3

x= -3

opposite of addition would be subtraction. since your trying to solve for x You want to get x alone and you subtract by 3 on both sides which would cancel the 3 on the left, leaving:

x =  - 3

if you follow the same process on all of them you come to the conclusion that only -3 is a zero in the options listed.

NOTE: When you become more experienced whenever you see expressions like that you'll come to realize that the zero is the opposite sign of the number if it's just x- or x+ a number.

example:

(x - 40)

it'll be the opposite sign so since it's a negative the zero of that would be positive 40.

hope this helps!

Mr. Anderson drove 168 miles in 3 1/2 hours. He then drove the next 2 1/4 hours at a rate of 5 miles per hour faster than the fi
BlackZzzverrR [31]
First we need to know how many miles per hour they drove the first time. This would be found by division. 168/3.5=48
Then we need to add 5 miles per hour for the average.48+5= 53
Next we need to multiply 2 1/4 by the new miles per hour 53*2.25=119.25
After that we need to know how many miles they drove 119.25+168=287.25 miles.
Finally to get an improper fraction we need to change 287.25 miles to it.
We already have 1/4 for .25 so we multiply 287 by 4 and add it to the 1/4 we already have and it makes it out to be 1149/4

Hope this helps!
