Answer:

3 3/5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one measure of volume be 5/9 of a tank, or (5/9)(tank).

We're interested in filling the whole tank, which we represent by (1)(tank) or (9/9)(tank.

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

(5/9) (tank) 2 minutes

------------------- = ----------------

(9/9) (tank) x

Solve for x, which represents the number of minutes required to fill the whole tank:

(5/9)(x) = (9/9)(2), or (after simplifying) 5x = 18, or x = 18/5 (3 3/5 minutes)

The whole tank will be filled in 3 3/5 minutes.

Answer:

0.225

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes of choosing 5 out of 18 members = 18C5

Outcomes of choosing 2 out 11 favourers, 3 out of 7 members = 11C2 & 7C3

Probability = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

= ( 11C2 x 7C3 ) / 18C5

[ 18 ! / 5! 13! ]

( 55 x 35 ) / 8568

1925 / 8568

= 0.2246 ≈ 0.225

34. The diagram shows a sector of a circle of radius 10 cm.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

rc length = 10 * 8pi/5

= 16pi

This is the circumference of the base

(a) 2pir = 16pi where r = radius of base

2r = 16

r = 8 cm

(b) 10^2 = h^2 + 8^2

h^2 = 100 - 64

= 36

h = 6 cm
