The water in the bucket = 5\frac{2}{3} gallons.

Gemlia poured out water from the bucket = 2\frac{4}{9} gallons

First we will have to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

5\frac{2}{3} = \frac{(5)(3)+2}{3} = \frac{(15+2)}{3} = \frac{17}{3}

2\frac{4}{9}= \frac{(2)(9)+4}{9}=\frac{(18+4)}{9}=\frac{22}{9}

To find the left over water we have to subtract poured out water from total amount of water.

So we will get,

\frac{17}{3} - \frac{22}{9}

To subtract them first we have to make the denominatior same. As 9 is multiple of 3, so we can make the common denominator as 3.

To make the denominator of the first fraction as 3, we know that 3 times 3 is 9, So we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3.

\frac{(17)(3)}{(3)(3)} - \frac{22}{9}

\frac{51}{9} - \frac{22}{9}

Now as the denominator is same , we will subtract the numerator.

\frac{(51-22)}{9}

\frac{29}{9}

So we have got there is \frac{29}{9} gallons of water left in the bucket.

We will convert that improper fraction to mixed fraction now.

\frac{29}{9} = 3\frac{2}{9}

So the required answer is 3\frac{2}{9} gallons of water left over in the bucket.

Scale on map is Lin 86 mi if actual distance is 35 mi . Between two cities how far apart on the map are they
Mrac [35]

Answer:

0.41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 in 86 mi.

This means that, 1 cm on the map represents 86 miles in real life, or on earth.

Then we're told that in real life, a distance is 35 miles, and how far they are on the map.

If 1 cm equals 86 miles, then we can say that x cm equals 35 miles

1 cm ----> 86

x cm ----> 35

x * 86 = 35 * 1

x = 35 / 86

x = 0.41 cm

Therefore, they must be 0.41 cm farther or closer apart on the map scale.

Which question is the same as -4 - (-2)
denis23 [38]

Answer:

-4 + 2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 -(-2) uses the process of cancellation. -(-2) is equal to positive 2, since the negatives cancel out. -4 + 2 is left, which equals -2.

Subtracting a negative from a negative is like subtracting a positive from a positive. It is even like 1-1. Once you subtract one from another, nothing is left.

X values:−10,−3-, 4, 11
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

It is neither linear nor exponential.

Step-by-step explanation:

x values: −10,−3, 4, 11

y values: 1, 6, 30, 120

Slope = rate of change

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m = \frac{6-1}{-3+10}\\m=\frac{5}{7}

\\m = \frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2}\\m = \frac{30-6}{4+3}\\m=\frac{24}{7}

Since rate of change is not constant . So, It is not linear

If the average rate of change is constant, then the function is linear.

If the ratio of consecutive outputs is constant, then the function is exponential.

So, \frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{6}{1}=5\\\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{30}{6}=6\\\frac{y_4}{y_3}=\frac{120}{30}=4

Since the ratio of consecutive outputs is not constant.

So, It is not exponential

Hence it is neither linear nor exponential.
