<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, :)

a sprinter increases the speed from 0 meters per second to 9 meters per second in 2 seconds. what is the acceleration

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The acceleration is

$4.5 {ms}^{ - 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation of motion,

$v = u + at$

where u=0m/s is the initial speed, v=9m/s is the final speed and t=2 seconds is the time.

We substitute the values into the equation and solve for the acceleration, a

$9 = 0 + a(2)$

This means that;

$9 = 2a$

Divide both sides by 2 to get:

$a = \frac{9}{2}$

$a = 4.5 {ms}^{ - 2}$

Rearrange so that there is no zero or negative exponent. 2m^0 n^-4

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

2/n^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything to the zero power will become 1 so the m^0 will be 1 and that leaves just 2 in its place. Anything to a negative exponent is equal to its reciprocal so n^-1= 1/n^4. Then you multiple what remains, (2 x 1/n^4) to get the above answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

since all angles add up to 180:

add like terms:

14x+12=180

x=12

Hope that helps :)
