Answer:

After 3 minutes the tub will  have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : The amount of water in a bathtub as it drains can be modeled by the equation,

  y = −7.3 x + 39.7      .............(1)

Where, y representing the number of gallons of water in the tub and x representing the time, in minutes.

We have to determine the time when the tub have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

That is y = 17.8

Substitute y = 17.8 in (1) , we get,

⇒  y = −7.3 x + 39.7

⇒  17.8 = −7.3 x + 39.7

Solve for x , we get,

⇒  17.8 - 39.7 = −7.3 x

⇒ - 21.9 = −7.3 x

⇒  21.9 = 7.3 x

⇒  x = 3

Thus, after 3 minutes the tub will  have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.

Given function:
y=-7.3x+39.7
Where y= number of gallons of water
and x= number of minutes
Put value of y=17.8 gallons and solving for x.
17.8=-7.3x+39.7
Subtract 39.7 from both sides
-21.9=-7.3x
Divide both sides by -7.3
3=x
or
x=3 minutes
After 3 minutes the water in the tub will be 17.8 gallons.

The probability that a randomly selected student from the class has brown eyes , given they are male

P(\frac{B}{M} ) = 0.3030

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

Given data

                      Brown           Blue           Hazel           Green

Females           13                  4                  6                   9          

Males                10                  2                 9                   12

<em>Let 'B' be the event of brown eyes </em>

<em>Total number of males n(M) = 33</em>

Let B/M be the event of randomly selected student from the class has brown eyes given they are male

<em>The probability that a randomly selected student from the class has brown eyes , given they are male</em>

<em></em>P(\frac{B}{M} ) = \frac{n(B)}{n(M)}<em></em>

<em>From table the brown eyes from males = 10</em>

P(\frac{B}{M} ) = \frac{10}{33}

P(\frac{B}{M} ) = 0.3030

<u>Final answer</u>:-

The probability that a randomly selected student from the class has brown eyes , given they are male

P(\frac{B}{M} ) = 0.3030

The freezing point of oxygen is –218.790C and hydrogen is –252.80C. A lab is lowering the temperature inside a fridge. Which fre
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Oxygen; 34.01°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The oxygen freezes first as it has a higher (warmer) freezing point. For both to freeze, the temperature must drop a further 34.01°C as:

-218.79 - (-252.8)

= 252.8 - 218.79

= 34.01

Please answer only number 4
sdas [7]

Answer:

for question 4, 1/3 is the probability since there are 6 sides and there are two numbers on a die less than 3, 2 and 1.

2 and 1 are 2 of the 6 numbers on the die.

so 2/6

but we have to simplify!

divide 2 by 2 and 6 by 2

1/3 done!
