She would start at the 3 inch mark and count from there.
Let the number be 'a':
The difference of the square of a number and 4
a^2 -4
is equal to 3 times that number.
= 3*a
a^2 -4 =3a
a^2 -3a -4=0
(a-4) (a+1)=0
solutions are: 4 and -1
.25(4) = 1 gallon
.25(8) = 2 gallons
.25(12) = 3 gallons
.25(16) = 4 gallons
.25(20) = 5 gallons
it would take 20 minutes to remove half the water (aka 5 gallons)
Answer:
4 weeks and 2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 days in one week.
To convert 30 days into weeks and days, divide 30 by 7.
The biggest number you can divide it by is 4 [without going over 30]
7 x 4 = 28.
30 - 28 = 2.
So 30 days = 4 weeks and 2 days.
I hope this helps! :)
