Answer:

84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets how many how to change oz to cup

- One cup contains 8 oz

- We can use the ratio to solve this problem

- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h

- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks

∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr

∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz

∴ 1 oz = \frac{1}{8} cup

∴ 2 oz = 2 × \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} cup

∴ The rate of the water leak out = \frac{1}{4} cup/h

∵ 1 day = 24 hours

∵ 1 week = 7 days

∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours

∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168

∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours

⇒    cups    :    hours

⇒      \frac{1}{4}         :   1

⇒     x         :    336

- By using cross multiplication

∴ x = 336 × \frac{1}{4}

∴ x = 84

- x represents the number of cups of water leak out

<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>

What are the solutions to the system of equations? y=2x^2−6x+3 y=2x+3
adoni [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x²-6x+3

y=2x+3

2x²-6x+3=2x+3

2x²-6x+3-2x-3=0

2x²-8x=0

2x(x-4)=0

x=0,4

y=0+3=3

and y=2(4)+3=11

so solutions are (0,3) and (4,11)

I don’t know how to solve this
snow_lady [41]
First you have to find the area of the WHOLE BOX. So you multiply,
8×7=56
Then find the area of the small box,
5×4=20
It says take away the area of the small box from the whole box and you should do just that: 56-20=36
The area of the shaded region is 36cm²

Which best describes the data in the table? Will give brainliest, picture provided. HELP ASAP.​
valentinak56 [21]
The first answer is correct. There are no outliers because all of these numbers exist within the same range. For example the number 6 would be a outlier in this case because it ranges so far from the other numbers in the data. There are clusters because clusters are the opposite of outliers. The numbers cluster together or group together.
Thanks for voting my answer brainliest!
