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

Anton [14]

Answer:

Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.

If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.

                    19 miles

           l_______________

6 milesl

           l

You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 19^2 = c^2

36 + 361 = c

397 = c

\sqrt{397} = 19.924859

Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is

19.9 miles

2. Find the<br> slope of the<br> line between<br> (8, 6) and<br> (20, -14)
Natalka [10]

Answer:

slopee = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The  slope of a line is defined by the rise (the change in y-value) divided by the run (the change in x-value).  Here, the change in y-value is 6 - (-14) = 6 + 14 = 20.  The change in x-value is 20 - 8 = 12.  Therefore, the slope is 20/12 or (simplified) 5/3.
