James left a bin outside in his garden to collect rainwater. He notices that 1/4 gallon of water fills 2/3 of the bin.

Answer:

1 bin holds 3/8 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of a gallon=2/3 of a bin.

x gallon=1 bin

We want to find the value of "x" in this situation.

To make 2/3 equal 1, we have to multiply by 3/2, which uses the inverse property. Since we used the inverse property on the bin, we then have to multiply the gallon, 1/4, by 3/2 because we multiplied the bin by 3/2. 1/4 times 3/2 is 3/8 and 2/3 times 3/2 is 6/6 or 1. so now 3/8 gall=1 bin.  

Therefore, one bin holds 3/8 gallon water.

(2/3)x=1/4
x= 3/8

x is the amount of water to fill the whole bin
when 2/3 of the bin is full, you have 1/4
so (2/3) of x is 1/4. then i just solved

hope that helped!

Solve the following system of equations graphically on the set of axes below.
Montano1993 [528]

You need to plot each line and see where they intersect.

Line 1: y = x+2

Plot the y-intercept (0,2) because of the +2 in the equation.

From (0,2), count "up 1, right 1" to get a second point, because the slope is 1.

From that new point, repeat the "up 1, right 1" to plot a third point.

Connect the dots to make your line.

Line 2: y = -1/3 x - 2

Repeat the same process, using the the y-intercept and slope for this line.

Then identify where they intersect.

6 numbers form an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. THe sum of these numbers equals 12. What are the 6 numbers.
frutty [35]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula for an arithmetic sequence which will be:

a + (n - 1)d

where a = unknown

n = 6

d = 4

We then slot them into the formula

a + (6 - 1)4 = 12

a + 5(4) = 12

a + 20 = 12

a = 12 - 20

a = -8

The 6 numbers are

1st term = -8

2nd term = -8 + 4 = -4

3rd term = -4 + 4 = 0

4th term = 0 + 4 = 4

5th term = 4 + 4 = 8

6th term = 8 + 4 = 12

Last week, Leon bought 8 pizzas and 13 cakes
romanna [79]
P = pizza and c =cakes

Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220

Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.

4c = 220 - 28p

Now divide each side by 4

c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p

Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p

8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134

Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134

Let’s add 83p to each side.

715 = 134 + 83p

Subtract 134 from each side

581 = 83p

Divide each side by 83

p = $7
