Answer
a decrease of 0.2 gallons per second
Explanation
The drain was open for 30 seconds.
The water that ran out for 30 seconds = 20 - 14
= 6 gallons
Rate of decrease = (change in gallons)/(time taken)
= 6/30
= 0.2
The rate of change in the amount of water remaining in the tub per second will be the same as the one that ran out since the outlet is the same.
So the correct answer from the choices is "a decrease of 0.2 gallons per second".
Divide the two;
500/ (5/9) = 500 * (9/5) = 900
So there are 900 5/9's in 500
Answer:
<em>a = 17</em>
Step-by-step explanation:

5a - a = 68
4a = 68
a = 68 / 4
a = 17
Answer:
Joseph caught 7 tadpoles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x
The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;
9(x + 3)
After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;
Hence, mathematically;
9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3
Multiply through be 2
9(x + 3) - 12x = 6
9x + 27 -12x = 6
9x -12x = 6-27
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
