36-ounce

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

Jack, Jill, and Bill each carried a 48-ounce bucket full of water down the hill.

By the time they reached the bottom:

  • Jacks bucket was only ³/₄ full.
  • Jill's was ²/₃ full, and
  • Bill's was ⁵/₆ full.

<u>Question:</u>

How much water did they spill altogether on their way down the hill?

<u>The Process:</u>

  • Notice the denominator of the Jack fraction is 4. We divide 48 by 4 to make four sections of 12 units each.
  • Notice the denominator of the Jill fraction is 3. We divide 48 by 3 to make three sections of 16 units each.
  • Notice the denominator of the Bill fraction is 6. We divide 48 by 6 to make six sections of 8 units each.

Let us make each scheme as below:

  • Jack's: \boxed{12}\boxed{12}\boxed{12}\boxed{12}
  • Jill's: \boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16}
  • Bill's: \boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}

At Jack's:  

  • 3 out of 4 parts are full, or 3 x 12 = 36-ounce
  • the remaining 1 out of 4 parts is spilled, or 1 x 12 = 12-ounce.

At Jill's:  

  • 2 out of 3 parts are full, or 2 x 16 = 32-ounce
  • the remaining 1 out of 3 parts is spilled, or 1 x 16 = 16-ounce.

At Bill's:  

  • 5 out of 6 parts are full, or 5 x 8 = 40-ounce
  • the remaining 1 out of 6 parts is spilled, or 1 x 8 = 8-ounce.

Finally, let's count the amount of water they spilled together.

\boxed{ \ 12 + 16 + 8 = 36 \ }

Thus, the amount of water they spilled together on their way down the hill is 36-ounce.

Jill lost 1/3

Bill lost 1/6

and Jack lost 1/4

Make a common denominator -  let's use 12

Jill lost 4/12

Bill lost 2/12

Jack lost 3/12

Add them together = 9/12

reduce by dividing by 3.

total of 3/4 spilt

48 divided into 4 parts then multiplied by 3 of those parts

48 / 4 * 3 = 36

If the line with the slope 5 that passes through the point (-1,3) intersects the x axis at a point, what are the coordinates of
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: (-8/5,0)

Step-by-step explanation: If the slope is 5, m = 5

For (-1,3) we have x₀= -1 and y₀ = 3, to find the line equation

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

y - 3 = 5(x - (-1))

y - 3 = 5(x + 1)

y - 3 = 5x + 5

y = 5x + 8

A P that intersects the x axis has y = 0

0 = 5x + 8

5x = -8

x = -8/5

P (-8/5,0)

A rectangular poster has an area of 190 inches squared. The height of the poster is one inch less than twice its width. Find the
Annette [7]
Set the height to h, and the width to w.

We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.

Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:

w(2w-1)=190

So:
2w^2-w-190=0

Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0.  The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.

C. The distances in the Olympic final were all greater than the US qualifier distances

D. none of the above

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The distances in the Olympic final were farther on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the options given, we have

A. The distances in the Olympic final were farther on average.

This is true as the sum of the 5 points divided by 5 is more in the Olympic final

B. The distances in the Olympic final varied noticeably more than the US qualifier distances

This is not correct as the difference between the upper and lower quartile in the Olympic final is lesser than in the qualifier

C. The distances in the Olympic final were all greater than the US qualifier distances

This is not correct as the max of the qualifier is more than the lower quartile in the Olympic final

D. none of the above

We have seen a possible correct option in option A
