We have been given that a bucket holds 121.4 ounces (oz) of water when full.

Further, we know that the bucket loses 0.04 oz of water per second.

We need to find the time when bucket will be 60% of its full volume.

Let us first find 60% of its full volume:

121.4\times \frac{60}{100}=72.84

If we assume that bucket will be 60% of its full volume after x seconds, we can set up an equation:

121.4-0.04x=72.84\\0.04x=121.4-72.84\\0.04x=48.56\\x=1214

Therefore, it will take the bucket 1214 seconds to get to 60% of full.

Question 1 of 12, Step 1 of 1
stellarik [79]

Answer:

325 and 375 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Distance between plane A and B = 2800

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Let speed of A = v1

Speed of B = v2

v1 = v2 + 50

Time taken = 4 hours

Distance = speed * time

Total distance = 2800

2800 = v1 * 4 + v2 * 4

2800 = (4v1) + (4v2)

2800 = 4(v2+50) + 4v2

2800 = 4v2 + 200 + 4v2

2800 = 8v2 + 200

2800 - 200 = 8v2

2600 = 8v2

v2 = 2600/8

v2 = 325 mph

v1 = v2 + 50

v1 = 325 + 50

v1 = 375 mph
