container B needs to be filled faster in order for both containers to gain the same amount of water per minute , and by 1/6 water per minute .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , two leaky containers are filling with water. water enters container a at a rate of 2/3 cup per 1/2 minute and leaks out at a rate of 1/4 cup per 3/4 minute. water enters container b at a rate of 3/4 cup per 1/2 minute and leaks out at a rate of 1/2 cup per 3/4 minute. We need to find which container needs to be filled faster in order for both containers to gain the same amount of water per minute . Let's find out:

Rate of Filling container A:

⇒ \frac{\frac{2}{3} }{\frac{1}{2} }

⇒ \frac{2}{3} (2) = \frac{4}{3}

Rate of leaking Container A:

⇒ \frac{\frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{4} }

⇒ \frac{1}{4} (\frac{4}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}

Amount of water in Container A in one minute :

⇒ \frac{4}{3}  - \frac{1}{3} = 1

No , following same for Container B

Rate of Filling container B:

⇒ \frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{2} }

⇒ \frac{3}{4} (\frac{2}{1}) = \frac{3}{2}

Rate of leaking Container B:

⇒ \frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{3}{4} }

⇒ \frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{3}) = \frac{2}{3}

Amount of water in Container B in one minute :

⇒ \frac{3}{2}  - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

Since , Rate of water per minute in container A is 1 and , Rate of water per minute in container B is 5/6 , container A fills faster by container B by

⇒ 1-\frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}

Therefore , container B needs to be filled faster in order for both containers to gain the same amount of water per minute , and by 1/6 water per minute .

Plz solve if you can. Show ur work. I will name Brainliest! (: I need help plzzzzzzzzzz, especially on the check your work part.
maksim [4K]

1) -x + 4 = -2x - 6

Add(2x)

x+4=-6

Subtract(4)

x = -10

<u>Check your work</u>

-(-10)+4=-2(-10) - 6

10+4=-2(-10) - 6

14=-2(-10)

14=20 - 6

14=14

Correct :)

2) 4R - 4 = 3R + 10

Add 4

4R=3R+14

Subtract 3R

R = 14

<u>Check your work</u>

4(14)-4=3(14)+10

56-4=3(14)+10

52=3(14)+10

52=42+10

52=52

Correct :)

3) 2Y - 3 = Y - 4

Add 3

2Y = Y - 1

Subtract Y

Y = -1

<u>Check your work</u>

2(-1)-3=-1-4

-2-3=-1-4

-5=-5

Correct :)

If the Ramirez family deposits $5000 in a savings account at 7.5% interest compounded continuously, how much will be in the acco
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: The amount is $14794.39 and the interest is $9794.39

Step-by-step explanation: If you deposit <em><u>$5000</u></em><u> </u>into an account paying <em><u>7.5%</u></em> annual interest compounded yearly , how much money will be in the account after <em><u>15 years</u></em>?

To find amount we use formula:

A-P(1+r/n) n*t

A = total amount

P = principal or amount of money deposited,

r = annual interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time in years

P=$5000, r=7.5, n=1 and, t=15 years

After plugging the given information we have

A= $5000 (1+0.075/1)^1.15

A= 5000 *1.075^15

A=14794.39

To find interest we use formula  A=P+I'

since A= 14794.39  and P=5000

we have: A=P+I 14794.39=5000+I

I= 14794.39 -5000

I=9794.39
