If 5/9 of a tank can be filled in 2 minutes how many minutes will it take to fill the whole tank

Mathematics
1 answer:
asambeis [7]3 years ago

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.

Question 19 makes no sense
gavmur [86]
Think:  To write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, you must have the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b). 

g(0)= -6 tells us that the y-intercept is (0, -6).  Thus, b= -6.

(0,-6) and (15,-9) are points on the line.  Find the slope of the line.  It is:
          -9-(-6)
m = ------------- = -3/15 = -1/5
          15-0

Thus, the equation of the line in question is y=(-1/5)x - 6.

Important that you understand that g(0)=-6 is also represented by (0,-6), and that -6 is the y-intercept.

Ticket costs £63 plus a booking fee of 3%. <br> What is the total price of the ticket ?
Arte-miy333 [17]
The answer is £64.89.

Step by Step:

Take the original price multiplied by 0.03 ( the percent of a booking fee ) and add those amounts together.

Equation: 63 + 1.89 = 64.89

3. (05.06 MC)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y > 3x + 10

y < -3x - 1

<h3> Part A:</h3>

You'd graph the given systems of linear inequalities the same way as you graph the linear equations.  

To graph y > 3x + 10, plot the y-intercept, (0, 10), then use the slope, m = 3 (rise 3, run 1), to plot other points on the graph.  Use a dashed line (because of the ">" symbol).  

Follow the same steps for the other linear inequality. Plot the y-intercept, (0, -1), then use the slope, m = -3 (down 3, run 1) to plot other points. Use a dashed line (because of the "<" symbol).  

Pick a test point on either side of the boundary line and plug it into the original problem.  This will help determine which side of the boundary line is the solution.  Plug in a test point that is not on the boundary line.

Use the point of origin, (0, 0) as the test point. Plug in these values into the given systems of linear inequalities to see whether it will provide a true statement.  

y > 3x + 10

0 > 3(0) + 10

0 > 0 + 10

0 > 10 (False statement).  

y < -3x - 1

0 < -3(0) - 1

0 < 0 - 1

0 < -1 (false statement).  

Since the point of origin provided a false statement to the given systems of linear inequalities, you must shade the half-plane region where it doesn't contain the test point.  

<h3>Part B: </h3>

You'll do the same process as what I've done for the test point. Plug in the values of (8, 10) into the given systems of linear inequalities. If it provides a false statement, then it means that it is not a solution to the system.  

y > 3x + 10

10 > 3(8) + 10

10 > 24 + 10

10 > 34 (False statement).  

y < -3x - 1  

10 < -3(8) - 1

10 < -24 - 1

10 < -25 (false statement).  

Therefore, (8, 10) is not a solution to the system.

Evelyn bought 8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94. Which equation can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas? 8.4x = 23.
adoni [48]

Answer:

the equation would be

8.4x = 23.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of each gallon of gas is $x.

And we have been given that 8.4 gallons of gas for $23.94.

So, we can make the below proportion

Cross multiplying, we get

Hence, the equation that can be used to determine the price of each gallon of gas is
