Answer:

40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take "x" as the # of hours it takes the lava to reach the sea

since there is a lava flow of 0.5 kilos per hour

we will multiply "x" with 0.5

0.5x

now the tube system is 20 kilometers long

this means that at a rate of 0.5 kilos per hour the lava will reach the sea once it is 20 kilometers deep

so

0.5x=20

divide "0.5" by both sides to eliminate the coefficient

\frac{0.5x}{0.5} =\frac{20}{0.5}

x=40

it will take 40 hours for the lava to reach the sea

Hope this helps!

Answer:

C. (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y = x-5

x+ 5y = 7

Subtract x from both sides in the first equation. Write the second equation below it.

-x - 3y = -5

x + 5y = 7

Add the two equations above.

2y = 2

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 1

Substitute y with 1 in the second original equation and solve for x.

x + 5(1) = 7

x + 5 = 7

Subtract 5 from both sides.

x = 2

Tyler buys 3 cans that each contain 3 quarts of blue paint, and he buys 1 can that contains 2 quarts of white paint. What is the
Serga [27]
Tyler has 3 cans of blue paint. Each contains 3 quarts separately. What you need to do is multiply 3 and 3, which would total to 9 quarts. Since you need to include exponents, I´m guessing 3 cubed (3 to the third power) will work. He also buys 1 can of white paint, which only contains 2 quarts. You should add that to the 9 quarts we got from the last steps. I am not sure if this answer is entirely correct, but my guess is 3^3 + 2 = 11 quarts.

How tall is a tree which is 15 feet shorter than a pole that is 3 times as tall as the tree?
Citrus2011 [14]
<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

Answer:

Item (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the stratified random sample we would divide our population into homogeneous groups / strata and then  we randomly select the individuals in each group / stratum.

In general, when comparing with the simple  random sample, we realize that stratified random sampling has the advantage of increasing accuracy and decreasing  variability.

In the question, we have two strata: female students and male students. On each one of the  strata, a random sample of 25 names was made in the list.
