Answer: 349.6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple proportion problems.

The flow rate = 87 . 4 gallons was dispensed in 15 minutes

That is 15 minutes = 87.4 gallons

Therefore 1 minute = ( 87.4/15 ) gallons

Recall 60 minutes = 1 hour

Now in 60 minute = (87.4/15 ×60/1 ) gallons

= 87.4 × 4

= 349.6 gallons

(Invariably) , Alternative method

15 minutes. = 1/4 of an hour 1/4 = 87 .4 gallons. A gallon. = 87.4/1/4

Recall that reciprocal of 1/4 = 4

Now = 87 .4/1/4

=87.4 × 4

Therefore 1 hour = 87.4 × 4 × 1

= 349 . 6 gallons

Three universities receive endowments totaling 110 million dollars. Northern U receives twice as much as wester U. Eastern Us en
puteri [66]

Answer:

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount each university gets.

Let

Northern U get n

Western U get w

Eastern U get e

We can write equations from the given word problem:

n + w + e = 110

and

n = 2w

e = n + w - 10

Putting 2nd in 3rd, we get:

e = 2w + w - 10

e = 3w - 10

Now putting this and 2nd in first, we solve for w:

n + w + e = 110

2w + w + 3w - 10 = 110

6w = 120

w = 20

AND n = 2 (20) = 40

AND e = 3(20) - 10 = 50

So,

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million
