Answer:

Pool A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved through ratios. You would write it as \frac{gallons}{minutes} So, \frac{2/3}{15} for the first one, and \frac{2/3}{20} for the second. You might want to use a calculator for that part, but you could also change the gallons to cups, which gives you a much better number of 10.515. So, \frac{10.515}{15} = 0.701, and \frac{10.515}{20} = 0.52575 So, pool A is at a faster rate. If you want it in gallons per minute, it's by 0.01 (with the 1 repeating) gallons per minute. By cups, it's 0.17525 cups per minute.

(The reason I did not do this by cross multiplying and dividing ratios is because it gives you the exact same answer if you are finding it per one, as I am here with per one minute. You can do it this way, it just wastes a bit of time.)

A bag contains 8 blue and 7 yellow marbles. What is the probability of randomly drawing a blue marble and then randomly drawing
Korvikt [17]
First you want to find out how many  marbles you start with so it'd be 8+7=15. You start with 15 marbles. If you randomly drew a blue marble, it'd be 8:15 and if you drew a yellow marble without replacing the blue one, it'd be 7:14 or 50-50 chance.

1 (4 x 12) + (4 x 8) 2 4 x (12 - 8) 3 (4 x 12) - ( 4 x 8) 4 4 x (12 + 8)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: 4 x (12 - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

the word difference really means exactly what it is saying. it is the quantity difference between two numbers. like, if someone would say, "what's the difference between 4 and 2?' then you would just subtract 2 from 4 to find the difference between the two numbers.

so, we now know that we are going to be subtracting 8 from 12.

plus, it tells us to show 4 times 12 - 8. that means that we will be multiplying (12 - 8) by 4.

so, our only viable option is 4 x (12 - 8).
