What am I supposed to be solving for?
Draw a x on the square to make 4 triangles. triangles have a total of 12 sides.
If a 12 gallon tank is filled with water at rate of 1/4 of the tank in 5 seconds, then it's filled with 3 gallons per 5 seconds (because 1/4 * 12 = 3). 5/6 of the tank is as much as 5/6 * 12 = 5 = 60/6 = 10 gallons.
If 3 gallons of the tank are filled in 5 seconds, then 10 gallons will be filled in (10 ÷ 3) * 5 = 3 1/3 * 5 = 16 2/3 seconds.
Answer: It will take 0 minutes and 16 2/3 seconds to fill 5/6 of the tank.
I hope that's what you meant :)
Hey, me again! So, I'll be giving you the totals for EACH group.
For the first group, multiply 1/8 by 3 to get the answer;
3/8 lbs
Do the same for this group (and all of the others) so that the answers are:
Group 2 - 3/4lbs
Group 3 - 2/2 = 1lb
Group 4 - 5/8lb
Group 5 - 7/8
The only possibility if a number is not even is that it is odd. Thus, the event would be the product is an odd number.
