To make it easier, you calculate the volume of the first aquarium.

1st aquarium:
V = L x W x H
V = 8 x 9 x 13
V = 72 x 13
V = 936 in.
Rate: 936 in./2 min.

Now that you've got the volume and rate of the first aquarium, you can find how many inches of the aquarium is filled within a minute, which is also known as the unit rate. To do that, you have to divide both the numerator and denominator by their least common multiple, which is 2. 936 divided by 2 is 468 and 2 divided by 2 is 1.
So the unit rate is 468 in./1 min. Now that you've got the unit rate, you can find out how long it'll take to fill the second aquarium up by finding its volume first.

2nd aquarium:
V = L x W x H
V = 21 x 29 x 30
V = 609 x 30
V 18,270 inches

Calculations:
Now, you divide 18,270 by 468 to find how many minutes it will take to fill up the second aquarium. 18,270 divided by 468 is about 39 (the answer wasn't exact, so I said "about").
 
2nd aquarium's rate:
18,270 in./39 min.

As a result, it'll take about 39 minutes to fill up an aquarium measuring 21 inches by 29 inches by 30 inches using the same hose. I really hope I helped and that you understood my explanation! :) If I didn't, I'm sorry. I tried. :(

Vikki [24]

<span>The reference angle is closest to the x-axis.
I will assume the above is 7pi/6. That would be a reference angle of pi/6, and the sin in the 3rd quadrant is negative, so the sin theta = - 0.5</span>

What are these possible solutions for x&gt;10/8
Viefleur [7K]
10/8 can be simplified to 5/4, which is the same as 1.25 (divide numerator 5 by denominator 4).
So you have x>1.25.
All numbers greater than 1.25 are possible solutions.

Does anyone know how to answer this question I'm having a lot of trouble with it?
Helen [10]

Answer:

h = \frac{2A}{(b+c)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the area of a trapezoid is,

Area (A) = \frac{1}{2}(b+c)h

Here b and c are the bases and 'h' is the height of the trapezoid.

2A = 2[\frac{1}{2}(b+c)h]

2A = (b + c)h

\frac{2A}{(b+c)}=h

Therefore, formula for the height of the trapezoid will be,

h = \frac{2A}{(b+c)}

Javier's employer pays for 43% of his annual health insurance premium. javier pays the remaining balance by having it deducted f
mihalych1998 [28]
<span>Let us start with the percentage of premium paid by Javier. Since the employer pays 43%, the remaining 57% (100-43) is paid by Javier. Now let us find out how much is deducted from his paychecks during the year. In one month, $157.38 x 2 = $314 .76 is deducted by the employer. So in 12 months, the amount equal to 57% of the health premium will be $314.76 x 12 = $3777.12. If $ 3777.12 is 57% of a certain number, to find the number, multiply $3777.12 with the reciprocal of the fraction. (57/100) So the unknown number = $3777.12 * 100/57 = $6626.53 Javier's total annual health premium, therefore, is $6626.53</span>
