Answer:
13.5 minutes (13 minutes and 30 seconds)
Explanation:
In this problem, you are given the rate of which the water drips at which can be used to find the time of any amount of water that has dripped if using a ratio.
Drip rate: 3 min / 1 cup
If we set up a ratio, we can use X for the time it takes to waste 4 1/2 cups of water:
3 min / 1 cup = X min / 4 1/2 cups
Then, cross multiply to solve:
1*X=3*4 1/2
Simplify for the answer:
X= 13 1/2 minutes
(13 minutes and 30 seconds)

harina [27]
This is false, since moving the decimal point to the left makes the number smaller. Therefore, the number on the exponent should be negative.

Answer:

9a^2sqrt(ab)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first noticable thing is that 81 has a perfect square of 9.

So it is now 9sqrt(a^5b)

you can split the a^5, to a^4 × a.

you can now take the sqrt of a^4, which is a^2, and pull it out from the sqrt

You are now left with 9a^2sqrt(ab)

5y (- 9 - 3y) = 13 What is Y?
Murrr4er [49]
To solve this equation, we have to use the distributive property to multiply 5y through the parentheses. 

-45y - 15y^2 = 13

-15y^2 - 45y - 13 = 0 

15y^2-45y-13=0

Graph y=60x+40 on a coordinate plane
Basile [38]
You have the equation, now you need two points to graph, using the intercept method, "(0,?), (?,0)"
When x is 0 (substitute x with 0 in the equation, to find y)...y = 40
When y is 0 (substitute y with 0 in the equation, to find x)...x = 0.67
You have your 2 points (0,40) and (0.67,0), now graph them and draw a line connecting the 2 points..and u have your graph!
