<h3>Answer:</h3>

The tank can hold up to 9 gallons.

Quick Review:

By doing the inverse of 7/12, 12/7, when you multiply it, you'll get a value of 1.

7/12 * 12/7 = 1

Doing the Problem:

By multiplying 5 1/4 by 12/7, you'll get the answer. But first, convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction.

5 1/4 ---> 21/4

Okay, lets go!

21/4 * 12/7 = 252/28

<u>When reduced, this gives you the answer 9/1, or 9 gallons.</u>

Hope that helps, :)

In 2018, the population will grow over 700,000.The population of a city in 2010 was 450,000 and was growing at a rate of 5% per

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The year is 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of years passed since 2010 to reach population more than 7000000 be 'x'.

Given:

Initial population is, $P_0=450,000$

Growth rate is, $r=5\%=0.05$

Final population is, $P=700,000$

A population growth is an exponential growth and is modeled by the following function:

$P=P_0(1+r)^x$

Taking log on both sides, we get:

$\log(P)=\log(P_0(1+r)^x)\\\log P=\log P_0+x\log (1+r)\\x\log (1+r)=\log P-\log P_0\\x\log(1+r)=\log(\frac{P}{P_0})\\x=\frac{\log(\frac{P}{P_0})}{\log(1+r)}$

Plug in all the given values and solve for 'x'.

$x=\frac{\log(\frac{700,000}{450,000})}{\log(1+0.05)}\\x=\frac{0.192}{0.021}=9.13\approx 10$

So, for $x > 9.13$ , the population is over 700,000. Therefore, from the tenth year after 2010, the population will be over 700,000.

Therefore, the tenth year after 2010 is 2020.

Find the value of x if it is a number between 8 and 12 exclusive.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Given:

x is a number between 8 and 12 exclusive.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

It is given that x is a number between 8 and 12 exclusive. It means the value of x lies between 8 and 12 but 8 and 12 are not included.

$8$

The whole numbers for $8$ range are 9, 10, 11.

Therefore, the values of x are 9, 10, 11 and the value of x in the form of inequality is $8$ .
