Answer:

4.8 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mai is filling his fishing tank with water. This shows a proportional relation between the time and the amount of water filled.

Amount of water filled (In gallons) ∝ Duration (In minutes)

w ∝ t

w = kt ---------(1)

For t = 0.5 gallons,

Amount of water = 0.8 gallons

From equation (1),

0.8 = k(0.5)

k = 1.6

So the proportionality equation will be,

w = 1.6t

Now we have to find the amount of water filled in 3 minutes.

w = 1.6 × 3

= 4.8 gallons

Therefore, water filled in the tank after 3 minutes = 4.8 gallons.

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

add 2/5 and 1/2 then subtract from 1 whole to find the remainder

make it so they have the same denominator

2/5 = 4/10

1/2 = 5/10

4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10

1=10/10

10/10-9/10 = 1/10

so 1/10 of the students don't exercise at all

Answer:

<u>$15 per hour</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he charged $65 for the parts, and the total charge was $110, that's $110-$65 which is $45, the total hours was 3, so $45 divided by 3, and that equals $15.

Answer:

a. 1.48 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the larger value of t such that h(t) = 10.

-16t^2 +25t +8 = 10

16t^2 -25t +2 = 0 . . . . subtract the left side to get standard form

Using the quadratic formula, we find the values of t to be ...

t = (-(-25) ± √((-25)^2 -4(16)(2)))/(2(16)) = (25±√497)/32

t ≈ 0.08 or 1.48

The ball goes in the hoop about 1.48 seconds after it is thrown.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The quadratic formula tells us the solution to ...

ax² +bx +c = 0

is given by ...

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here, we have a=16, b=-25, c=2. Of course, our variable is t, not x, but the relation is the same.
