Answer:

B. 7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that both hoses fill at the same rate, then by simple proportion,

To raise the pool by 1 foot of water:

1 hose ---> takes 3 hours

2 hoses ----> fills twice as fast ---> will take half the time ---> 3/2 = 1.5 hrs

Hence with 2 hoses, it will take 1.5 hours to fill 1 foot of water.

to fill 5 feet of water, we will need 1.5 hours x 5 feet = 7.5 hours

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

visualizing the hours and amount of water by foot being poured into the pool you can see that 3 and 7.5 hours is too small and 15 is too large.

a piece of yellow yarn was 230 inches long. After 90 inches had een cut from it,,, the piece of yellow yarn was twice as longas
jasenka [17]
Okay. So 90 yds was cut from the 230 yd yarn. 230 - 90 = 140. 1/2 of 140 is 70. 230 - 70 = 160. The yellow yarn was 160 yds longer than the blue yarn at first.

How do I solve 5a + 17 = 47
OleMash [197]

Hi there!

There are two steps to take when solving this equation, but before we even think about that, let's start by rewriting the equation.

5a + 17 = 47

Step 1) Subtract 17 from both sides.

5a + 17 - 17 = 47 - 17

5a = 30

Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.

5a/5 = 30/5

a = 6

So, your final answer therefore is

a = 6

Hope this helps!

TIP - This method can be used when solving any equation with 1 variable. :D

How to erite a sequence of 1/4 , 1/2,3 write a rule for the sequence 1/4 1/2 3/4
FrozenT [24]
The equation for finding the equation of an arithmetic sequence is an=a1+(n-1)d, where n is the input for the sequence, a1 is the first term, and d is the difference between each term. 

a1= 1/4
d= 1/4 

an= 1/4 + (n-1)(1/2) - First you need to distribute the 1/2 to both the n and -1 to get:    an= 1/4 + 1/2n -1/2.

Then you need to add like terms (1/4-1/2) to get an=1/2n-1/4.  Hope this helps!
