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}

Answer:

3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First we just convert the angle from radians to degrees
  • \frac{31\pi radians }{6}*\frac{180degrees}{\pi radians}  =\frac{31*180}{6} degrees=930degrees
  • Now that's too big, all this means is if we start rotating from the positive y-axis in a circle we will cross the starting point 2 times, 2 full circles;
  • 930degrees-360degrees=570degrees\\570degrees-360degrees=210degrees  
  • Now in which quadrant it 210 degrees?
  • 0 degrees to 90 degrees is 1st quadrant
  • 90 degrees to 180 degrees is 2nd quadrant
  • 180 degrees to 270 degrees is 3rd quadrant
  • 270 degrees to 360 degrees is 4th quadrant
  • So our answer is the 3rd quadrant.

Two angles are supplementary. Which of the following equations can be used to find the value of the missing angle, x, if the oth
Natali [406]

Two angles are said to be supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees. So, if x and y are supplementary angles, the formula is

x + y = 180

We know that one of the angles (say x) is 98. So, the equation updates to

98 + y = 180

If we want to solve for the other angle, we can simply subtract 98 from both sides to get

y = 180-98 = 82

Solve the equation -15=a/5 <br> A=-3<br> A=-20<br> A=-10<br> A=-75
agasfer [191]

To solve any equation, you do whatever you need to do 
to wind up with the unknown quantity all alone on one side.
BUT ... whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must
also do to the other side.

Here, we have the
he original equation:           -15  =  a/5

Multiply each side by 5 :     -75  =  a

and bada-bing, THERE's the solution !
