Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value is always positive. imagine it as "how much away from zero"
Answer:
45, 36
Step-by-step explanation:
let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.
x-y=9
(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n
n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n
here u get:
(1/x+1/y)*20=1
you sub x=9+y into the above equation
1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20
((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)
180+40y=9y+y2
y2-31y-180=0
then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5
-5 is rejected because it is negative
x=36+9=45
therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins
Percent is pars out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=0.4
'of' means multiply
0.4 times something=56
divide both sides by 0.4
something=140
th enumber is 140
A. 1/100 * x = 7
x = 7 * 100/1
x = 700
b. 50/100 * x = 33
x = 33 * 100/50
x = 66
c. 3/100 * 100 = 3
d. x/100 * 200 = 6
2x = 6
x = 3
e. 15/100 * 40 = 6
