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:

i. No, Maurice statement is wrong.

ii. Stephan does not have sufficient pieces of wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan's piece of wood measures; 18 inches in length and 12 inches in width.

Since the piece of wood has a shape of a rectangle,

the area of the piece of wood = length × width

= 18 × 12

= 216 square inches

According to Maurice's statement, he could make a tray that has a base of 1012 inches by 1012 inches.

The base has the shape of a square, so that;

the area of the base = length × width = $length^{2}$

= 1012 ×1012

= 1024144 squared inches

This shows that Stephan does not have sufficient wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option B)

$b = \dfrac{2}{5}f$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Priya uses $7\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour to make 3 loaves of banana bread.

Thus, we can write the ration of bread to amount of flour used as:

$\text{Ratio} = \dfrac{3}{7\frac{1}{2}} = \dfrac{3}{\frac{15}{2}} = \dfrac{6}{15}$

Now, b loaves of banana bread using f cups of flour.

This measurement will follow the same ratio.

Thus, we can write:

$\dfrac{b}{f} = \dfrac{6}{15}\\\\b = \dfrac{2}{5}f$

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B)

$b = \dfrac{2}{5}f$
