<u>Answer:</u>

Liam will use 3.5 gallons of paint to paint his living room

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that Liam has 8 \frac{3}{4} gallons of paint.

He uses \frac{2}{5} of paint to paint his living room

We need to find how many gallons of paint will Liam use

The gallons of paint Liam used can be found as follows:

Amount of paint Liam has = 8 \frac{3}{4} gallons  

Converting mixed fraction 8 \frac{3}{4} to decimal we get 8.75

Amount of paint used = 2/5th of available amount  

= \frac{2}{5} \times 8.75=3.5 \text { or } 3 \frac{1}{2} \text { gallons }

Hence Liam will use 3.5 gallons of paint to paint his living room

Nattalie picked 135 berries in 15 minutes at this rate how long will it take her to pick 486 berries
forsale [732]
Well, If she takes 15 minutes to pick 135 berries, 30 minutes total would be 270 berries, so if you take another 15 minutes picking berries it would be a total of 405 berries but you still need 81 more. so if she can pick 405 in 45 minutes, it would be around a hour and something. 

Hope I helped or at least made you think about it

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • a = 2x +3
  • b = 4x - 7

Finding x for which 3b = 5a:

  • 3b = 5a
  • 3(4x - 7) = 5(2x + 3)
  • 12x - 21 = 10x + 15
  • 12x - 10x = 15 + 21
  • 2x = 36
  • x = 36/2
  • x = 18

What's the volume of a triangular prism with the base of the triangle Bing 3.6 m and the height of the triangle being 2.4 m and
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Volume of the Triangular Prism is 30.24 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

For any prism,

Volume = Base Area X Width

Where Width is the distance between the two equal faces. In this case, the two triangular faces.

Base =3.6m

Height=2.4m

Width=7m

Volume of a Triangular Prism = Area of the triangle X Width

= ½bh X W

= ½ X 3.6 X 2.4 X 7

=30.24 m³

The volume of the triangular prism is 30.24 m³.
