A tank is 4/5 full of water.After drawing off 190 litres of water it is just 1/6 full.What is the capacity of the tank?

1 answer:

5 0

Let's convert the fractions to the same denominator

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{30}$
$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{30}$

this means that when 190 liters, or 19/30 of the water was drawn off, there was 1/6 left.

let's create an equation and solve for x. we know that 190 is equal to 19/30 of the the tank. what about 1/30? we nee to divide each side by 19 to find out.

190/10 would be 19. this means that 1/30 of the tank is 19 liters.

to find the full tank, or 30/30 of the tank, multiply 19 by by 30, to get 570.

the full capacity of the tank is 570 liters

hope this helped!

Answer:

1.1 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of gigabytes = g

Under his cell phone plan, Owen pays a flat cost of $67.50 per month and $4 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $71.90 per month.

The Equation is given as:

$71.90 = $67.50 + $4 × g

71.90 = 67.50 + 4g

71.90 - 67.50 = 4g

4.4 = 4g

x = 4.4/4

x = 1.1 gigabytes

Therefore, the number of gigabytes of data Owen can use while staying within his budget is 1.1 gigabytes

According to scientific research, the probability that a person between the ages of 20 and 25 having high blood pressure, is onl

boyakko [2]

Answer:

<h2>The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having high blood pressure is 17%.

We need to find the probability of 2 or fewer have high blood pressure.

Possibility 1: No one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{100 -17}{100} }^{10} = {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .

Possibility 2: Only one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ .

Possibility 3: 2 among the 10 have the high blood pressure.

${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ .

Any of the possibilities can happen.

Hence, the required probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .

The graph below shows the number of new clients brought into Sunnydays Insurance Company. Why is the graph misleading?

Lera25 [3.4K]

The graph is misleading because the year’s interval is not constant. The first year to the second year, the gap is 1 year; in the second to the third year, the gap is 2; in the third to the fourth year is 4; and the fourth to the fifth year is 6.

Consider the enlargement of the pentagon. A small pentagon has a bottom side length of x centimeters and left side length of 7 c

il63 [147K]

Answer:

3.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we can draw out a proportion

= Small pentagon = Large pentagon

= x/7 = 7/15

Cross Multiply

x × 15 = 7 × 7

15x = 49

x = 49/15

x = 3.2666666667 cm

Approximately= 3.3 cm
