The rink has a dimension of 200 ft* 85 ft = 17000 ft^{2}

depth = 1.5 inch that becomes \frac{1.5}{12} = 0.125 ft

So total volume of the water required = 17000* 0.125 = 2125 ft^3

Now 1 cubic foot of water= 7.480 gallons

Hence total gallons required are 2125 * 7.480 gallons = 15895 gallons.

A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw this as a diagram, you will see that it is a right angled triangle and the missing side is the hypotenuse (the longest side). To calculate this, you will need to use the right angle law:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

A single gram of a certain metallic substance has 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc the remaining portion of the substance is
andrezito [222]
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

Ethan's taxable income is $87,525. Use this tax schedule to calculate the total amount he owes in taxes.
Reptile [31]
$18,617.75 is the answer
$87,525-$77,100=$10,425 (the amount over $77,100)
$10,425 x .28=$2,919 (the 28% taxed amount over $77,100)
$2,919+$15,698.75 (the already taxed amount in the chart)=$18,617.75

Divide 794.1 by 7.61 Point round off your answer to two decimal places
dolphi86 [110]
<span>By dividing the two numbers we get 104.3495... Rounding this number to two decimal places means that we must keep just 2 digits after the "." symbol, and round the last one of them. In our case, 104.3495... becomes 104.35.</span>
