Answer:

about 1.43 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your original equation to find how many minutes it takes to fill up the 309 gallon hot tub.

3.59x=309

x= how many minutes it takes to fill up a certain gallon.

Divide both sides by 3.59 to isolate x and you get x=86.0724234.

That is how many minutes it takes.

The question asks for how many hours, so that divide 86.0724234 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and you get 1.43454039 or 1.43 hours.

There is also another way which is called dimensional analysis, but I don't know if you guys learned that yet.

Hope my answer helps!

2,5, 25/2, ... find the 10th term

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The $10^{th}$ term of the given sequence

$t_{10} = \frac{5^{9} }{2^{8} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given sequence 2 , 5, $\frac{25}{2}$

First term a = 2

The difference of given geometric sequence

$d = \frac{r_{2} }{r_{1} } = \frac{5}{2}$

Step(ii):-

The $n^{th}$ term of the given sequence

$t_{n} = ar^{n-1}$

The $10^{th}$ term of the given sequence

$t_{10} = (2)(\frac{5}{2} )^{10-1}$

$t_{10} = (2)(\frac{5}{2} )^{9}= \frac{5^{9} }{2^{8} }$

Emery bought 3 cans of beans that had a total weight of 2.4 pounds. If each can of beans weighed the same amount, which model co

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

y=0.8x

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1

If 3 cans of beans weigh 2.4 pounds

Then 1 Can will weigh (2.4 ÷ 3)=0.8 Pounds

If y is the total weight of x number of cans, then: y=0.8x

Statement 2

If x=5, then y=0.8(5)=4

If x=15, then y=0.8(15)=12

If x=20, then y=0.8(20)=16

Therefore the below statement applies:

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.

Statement 3

From the pair of points above, we have (5,4) and (15,12). Therefore if on a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds.) A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12).
