After raining for 34 of an hour, a rain gauge is 25 filled. If it continues to rain at that rate for 15 more minutes, what fract

ion of the rain gauge will be filled?
To help answer this question, Diego wrote the division equation 34÷25=?. Explain why this equation does not represent the situation.

Answer:

\textbf{Fraction of gauge filled = }\bf\frac{8}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation does not represent the situation because to find the fraction of the rain gauge we need to : divide the fraction of gauge filled by the raining fraction of an hour

But, Diego wrote the incorrect division equation so, it does not represent the current situation.

Now, to find the required division and multiplication equations :

\frac{3}{4}\text{ fraction of an hour = }\frac{3}{4}\times 60=\text{ 45 minutes}\\\\\text{ Now, the rain continues to rain for 15 minutes more}\\\implies \text{The total raining time = 45 + 15 = 60 minutes}\\\\\text{So, we need to find the fraction of gauge filled in 60 minutes}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 45 minute = }\frac{2}{5}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 1 minute = }\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{45}=\frac{2}{5\times 45}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 60 minutes = }\frac{2}{5\times 45}\times 60=\bf\frac{8}{15}

\text{Division equation = }\frac{\text{fraction of gauge filled}}{\text{raining fraction of an hour}}\\\\\textbf{Division Equation : }\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{15}\\\\\text{Multiplication Equation = Fraction of gauge filled in 1 minute × 60}\\\\\textbf{Multiplicatiuon Equation : }\frac{2}{225}\times 60=\frac{8}{15}

show two ways that four people can share a 6 segment chewy fruit worm in each case how many segments does each person gets
Novay_Z [31]
<span>You can share a 6 segment chewy fruit worm by giving the four people 1 ¼ segments. Also, there are a lot ways on how to divide it equally, but in this case, I’ll show two. Here are the two ways on how to share it:

1. You can divide the worm by giving one segment for each and then divide the remaining two segments in halves, thus resulting to having </span><span>1 </span>¼ shares.
2. Cut the worm in a horizontal manner. In this way, you'll have 12 segments now. You can then proceed by distributing the share by 3s, which is still equivalent to 1 <span>¼</span>.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x = 50, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

\\(5x-100)+(x-20) = 180 => 6x = 300 => x = 50\\(3y)+(y+140) = 180 => 4y = 40 => y = 10
