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.

I wished I’d bought the game last week for $199.00. I missed the sale, and now it’s an additional 25%. What will it cost me now

kumpel [21]

199•25%=49.75
49.75+199=248.75
248.75•7.5%=18.65625
18.65625+248.75=267.40625
therefore the answer is $248.41

Ashley has a sprinkler that has several varieties of coverage. The quarter circle sprinkler head sprays water a distance of up t

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

314 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area that will be covered by the spray of the quarter-circle sprinkler head, is equal to the area of a quarter circle with radius of 20 feet

The area of a quarter circle is

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=20\ ft$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}(3.14)(20)^{2}=314\ ft^2$

Why is f(x)=0 the only odd and even function?

kupik [55]

F is odd if and only f f(-x) = -f(x) so f(x) = 0 works because 0 = 0 always.

f is even if and only if f(-x) = f(x) so f(x) = 0 works because there's no x term so nothing changes. 0 = 0.
