So listen to your teacher next time
h^2 - 12h + 20 can be factored to:
(h-10)(h-2)
These cannot be zero so, h cannot be 10 or 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Calculate the volume of the water in the tank.</u>
- Area of the base of the tank: B = 7 ft × 4 ft = 28 ft²
- Height of the tank: H = 9 in = 9 in × 1 ft / 12 in = 0.75 ft
- Volume of the tank: V = area of the base × height = B × H = 28 ft² × 0.75 ft = 21 ft³.
<u>2) Calculate the weight of 21 ft³ of water.</u>
Since this is not a chemistry question but a math question, I will not use the fomula of density but set a proportion with one unknown:
- 62.4 lb / 1 ft³ = x / 21 ft³
Solve for x:
- x = 21 ft³ × 64 lb / ft³ = 1,310.4 lb.
So, rounding to the next integer, the water in the tank weighs 1,310 pounds, when it is full.
25/20 × 100% = 125%
125% - 100% = 25%
25% profit :)
