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

Mathematics

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.

There are seven cats in my neighborhood, with an average of $41$ whiskers each. If one of the cats has $17$ whiskers, how many w
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average number of whisker of each cat.

We have been given that there are 7 cats in my neighborhood, with an average of 41 whiskers each.

The total number of whiskers of six cats would be 6x.

Since one of the cats has 17 whiskers, so the total number of whiskers of 7 cats would be 6x+17

We will use average formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of data points}}{\text{Number of data points}}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

41=\frac{6x+17}{7}

Let us solve for x.

41*7=\frac{6x+17}{7}*7

287=6x+17

287-17=6x+17-17

270=6x

Switch sides:

6x=270

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{270}{6}

x=45

Therefore, the each of the other cats have 45 whiskers on average.

What other information do you need to prove ΔABE is congruent to ΔEDA by SSS?
Stels [109]

To prove ΔABE is congruent to ΔEDA by SSS we need that EAC should be an equilateral triangle.

What is an equilateral triangle?

A triangle is said to be equilateral if each of its three sides is the same length. In the well-known Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, meaning that each of its three internal angles is 60 degrees and congruent with the others.

Here, we have

AEC is a triangle in which B∈ AC and D∈ EC

Such that,

∠ABE = 90°,

∠ADE = 90°,

Also, BC = CD

Now, we have to prove that :

Δ ABE is congruent to Δ EDA

Proof :

If EAC is an equilateral triangle,

By the property of an equilateral triangle,

EA = AC = EC

If AC = EC

AB + BC = ED + CD

AB + CD = ED + CD

AB = ED

Also, AE = AE ( common segment )

Now, if in two right triangles hypotenuse are equal and any corresponding legs are equal,

Then, the other legs must be equal,

That is, BE = DA,

Hence, by the SSS postulate of congruence,

Δ ABE ≅ Δ EDA

Hence, to prove ΔABE is congruent to ΔEDA by SSS we need that EAC should be an equilateral triangle.
