2/9 - 7/12

First, multiply to find a common denominator. Multiply both pieces of the left fraction by 12, and both pieces of the right fraction by 9.

24/108 - 63/108 = -39/108 = -13/36

a= -13
b= 36

A large truck has two fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 150 gallons. Tank 1 is half full, and Tank 2 is empty.

12345 [234]

Answer:

1) $G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For generating the equation we have to take into account that in the tanks there is a initial volume of fuel that corresponds to 75 gallons, as it is stated that tank one is half full. As the capacity for tank 1 is of 150 gallons, half of the tank equals to:

$\frac{150}{2} = 75 gallons$

Now we have to convert the rate of delivery that is expressed as a mixed number to an improper fraction so:

$5\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(5x4)+3}{4} = \frac{23}{4}$

Then the pumping rate is of 23/4 gallons per minute, to get how many gallons are in the tank we just need to multiply this rate by the time in minutes, and as there is an initial volume we have to add it, so we have the following equation:

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\$

2) To know how much fuel is in the tank after 8 minutes we have to replace this time in the previous equation so we have

$G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\G(8) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}(8)\\G(8) = 75 + 23(2)\\G(8) = 75 + 46\\G(8) = 121 gallons$

After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Which is the best estimate of 90/7 divided y 1 3/4? 2 6 12 24

Vilka [71]

The answer to this question would be: 6
In this question, you are asked to estimate 90/7 divided by (1 + 3/4). You can convert the 1 3/4 into :
1 +3/4=
4/4 + 3/4= 7/4
Then, the calculation would be:
(90/7) / (7/4)= (90*4)/ (7*7)= 7.347

The distance from 7.347 to 6 would be -1.347. It was much shorter than the distance to 12 which is 4.7. The closest answer would be 6
