Every hour, the tank would fill 1/4 of the way, but it would be set back by 1/6 of it's original progress due to the emptying. So how much progress did it actually make in that hour? 1/4 - 1/6 = 0.08333333. It filled 0.0833...%

This would mean '1' = 100%, so we have the equation 0.0833... x ? = 1

Well, 0.083333 is equal to the fraction 1/12. Also, 0.083333 x 12 equals 1. You can take either of those two routes to find your answer, but we can tell either way that it takes 12 hours.

Answer:

12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hour if the tap filling the tank runs on its own it will fill 1/4 of the tank. But if the tap that empties the tank is run at the same time it empties 1/6 of the tank. So the net result in 1 hour is that 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12 of the tank is filled.

In the next hour the same thing happens - another 1/12 is filled.

So the tank will be filled in 12 hours.

1. The product of five and a number is 15
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) 5x = 15

Dividing both sides by 5 will give us the answer:

x = 3

(2) x + 6 = 16

Subtracting both sides by 6 will give us the answer:

x = 10

(3) \frac{27}{x} = 9

First let's multiply both sides by x

27 = 9x

Now, let's divide both sides by 9 to get our answer:

x = 3

(4) 6x = 72

Dividing both sides by 6 will give us the answer:

x = 12

How much water is in the cylinder ?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

  339π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water is the difference between the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the ball. The appropriate volume formulas are ...

  cylinder V = πr²h

  sphere V = (4/3)πr³

For the given numbers, the volumes are ...

  cylinder V = π(5 in)²(15 in) = 375π in³

  sphere V = (4/3)π(3 in)³ = 36π in³

The water volume is the difference of these ...

  water volume = cylinder V - sphere V

     = 375π in³ - 36π in³ = 339π in³

Ann is growing two different plants for a science project. Plant A grew 4/12 inch the first week and 2/12 inch the second week.
Galina-37 [17]
Start the number line from 0 and put divisions at 1/12. Then mark at 4/12 for plant A and indicate this was its growth in the first week. Then, make another mark up to 6/12 and indicate this was the plant's growth in the second week.
For plant B, make one mark at 7/12 and indicate that this is plant B's growth in the first week.

After two weeks, plant A has a height of 6/12 inches and plant B has a height of 7/12 inches, so B is taller.
