The bathtub has dimensions 5 ft by 3 ft by 18 inches.
Note that 18 inches = 18/12 = 1.5 ft.

The volume of the bathtub is
V = 5*3*1.5 = 22.5 ft³

The bathtub is three-fourths (0.75) full of water. Therefore the volume of water is
0.75*22.5 = 16.875 ft³

The water is lost at the rate of 1 ft³/min.
If it takes x minutes to empty the bathtub, then
(1 ft³/min)*(x min) = (16.875 ft³)
x = 16.875 min

Answer: 16.875 minutes

Answer:

d = \sqrt{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance between the points (5, 2) and (1, 9). In order to do this, we will use something called the distance formula. The distance formula is written as follows:

d = \sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}

Now we need to plug in our points which we have given in the form (x, y):

d = \sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(2-9)^{2}}

Next, perform the operation of subtraction inside the parentheses to simplify:

d = \sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-7)^{2}}

The exponent is the next step in the order of operations, so square 4 and -7:

d = \sqrt{16+49}

Finally, add 16 to 49:

d = \sqrt{65}

The square root of 65 cannot be simplified further, but an approximation can be made.

\sqrt{65}  ≈ 8.062257748

Find the equation of the line passing through (1,4) and (-2,-1).
wel

Answer:

y=5/3x+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the points: (1,4) and (-2, -1)

let's first find the slope, which is with the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (m is the slope)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=4

x2=-2

y2=-1

now subsitute into the equation

m=(-1-4)/(-2-1)

m=-5/-3

m=5/3

the slope of the line 5/3

Here's the equation so far:

y=5/3x+b (b is a place holder)

we can substitute either one of the points into the equation so far to find b, because the line will pass through both of them>

let's use (1,4) as an example

4=5/3(1)+b

4=5/3+b

subtract 5/3 from both sides

7/3=b

Now, put it all together:

y=5/3x+7/3

Hope this helps!

A rectangular photograph is nine centimeters wide and fourteen centimeters long. The photograph is enlarged by increasing the le
koban [17]

Answer:

Width=13cm

Length=18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the Initial Photograph=9cm

Length of the Initial Photograph=14cm

If width and length are increased by an equal amount, say x

New Width=9+x

New Length=14+x

Area of the new photo is 108 square centimeters greater than the area of the original photo.

Area of Original Photo=14*9=126cm²

Aeea of the New Photo=126+108=234cm²

Therefore:

(9+x)(14+x)=234

126+9x+14x+x²-234=0

x²+23x-108=0

x²+27x-4x-108=0

x(x+27)-4(x+27)=0

(x+27)(x-4)=0

x+27=0 or x-4=0

x=-27 or x=4

Since x≠-27

x=4cm

The dimensions of the new photo are:

Width=9+x=9+4=13cm

Length=14+x=14+4=18cm

Using a number line what is the equivalent fraction to 1/4
AURORKA [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions. If you simplify 2/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, you'll get 1/2, the same as the other one. Remember, our number line is a line with evenly spaced tick marks that show us our numbers.
