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.)

212.35 into a fraction
Alla [95]

Answer: 212 7/20

Step-by-step explanation: We know that 212 is the whole number. So we need to convert .35 into a fraction in simplest form. Any decimal that has a hundredths place will be divided by 100 to get the fraction. In this case that fraction would be 35/100. And to convert that into simplest form, you need to find the least (or lowest) common denominator which is 5. Then you divide the numerator and denominator by 5 and get 7/20, so your answer is 212 7/20

Nathan needs to sell at least 75 t shirts to get a bonus he already has sold 15 red tye dye shirts and 23 solid blue ones how ma
AnnyKZ [126]

Red shirts and blue shirts equally count to his bonus, so he has 15 + 23 = 38 shirts sold at this moment. He needs to sell 75 shirts for the bonus. We subtract our goal from what he have; 75 - 38 = 37.


The strategy here: subtract the goal (75 shirts) from what you did to get to the goal (15 shirts and 23 shirts).


Nathan needs to sell 37 more shirts for the bonus. Hope this helps.
