Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of this problem as a "work" problem and use the formula:

work = rate x time

Let p be the rate of a single pump.  So the total rate of 3 pumps is 3p. And the total time is 8 hours, so the work needed to fill a pool is:

work = 3p x 8 = 24p

We need 24p to fill up a pool.

So what happens when you have 4 pumps? That is a rate of 4p.  So how much time is needed to fill up a pool that requires 24p of work?

Solve by using the work = rate x time equation:

24p = 4p x t

6 = t

6 hours.

Erin gets her exercise by running. The graph shows the distances she covers in a given amount of time. How many hours does it ta
soldi70 [24.7K]

The correct answer is  c. 2 \frac{1}{2} hours

Explanation:

The graphic shows the relationship between the distance Erin covers by running and the time this requires. Additionally, to know the specific time that takes for Erin to run a specific distance or vice versa it is necessary to observe at which point the two variables intersect in the line of the graph.

According to this, Erin runs 25 miles (y-axis) in 2.5 hours (x-axis), which you can know because in the line shown by the graph the distance 25 miles that is in the middle of 20 and 30 miles intersects with 2.5 hours or the middle between 2 and 3. Additionally, this number can be expressed as 2 and a half hours, 2.5 or even 2 \frac{1}{2} hours because the fraction represents half. This makes option C the answer.

Answer:

            \large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.2deciliter}}

Explanation:

Build your conversion factors using the conversion table:

  • 1 cup = 0.237 liters\implies 1=0.237liters/1cup

From the prefixes used in the metric system, you know that 1 deciliter = 0.100 liters. Then:

  • 1 deciliter = 0.100 liters\implies 1=1deciliter/0.100liters

Arrange the expression to simplify the units and convert from cups to deciliters:

  • 9cups\times 0.237liters/cup\times 1deciliter/0.100liters=0.2133deciliter

Round to the nearest tenth: 0.2 deciliter.
