Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers.
Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)
For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour.
So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added.
Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer.
70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
The answer will be option 2. 10^4.
Answer:
Width is 5 and length is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve the equation using the distributive property and inverse operations.
2x +2(x+2)=24
2x + 2x + 4 = 24
4x + 4 = 24
4x = 20
X = 5
This means the width is 5 and the length is 7.
I would think you would use 1/3 of a cup but I am not sure.Hope it helps!
