Answer:

158.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the volume of the tank

V = 30 \times 30 \times 80

V = 72000 cm^3

to convert this to m^3 we know that 1m = 100cm

V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3

V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}^3}{100^3\,\text{cm}^3}\right)

the cm^3 cancel out.

V = \dfrac{72000}{100^3} m^3

V = 0.072\,m^3

by simply converting the side-lengths to meters beforehand can give you this answer directly:

V = 0.3 \times 0.3 \times 0.8 = 0.072 m^3

it is given that 1 meter cube of water weighs about 2200 pounds.

1\,m^3 = 2200 \,\text{lb}

multiply both sides with 0.072 to find our answer:

1\,m^3 \times 0.072 = 2200 \times 0.072 \,\text{lb}

0.072\,m^3 = 158.4 \,\text{lb}

hence the weight of the water in the tank would be 158.4 pounds!

Mary​'s car will go 261 miles on 14.5 gallons of gasoline in highway driving.
suter [353]

Answer:

a) 91 1/6 gallons

b) 2502 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...

  (261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal

We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:

a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)

Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get

  1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal

It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.

___

b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.

  (miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)

Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...

  (18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi

139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.

What’s the equation for (8,2)(0,0)
Kay [80]

Answer: y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make use of the slope intercept form to solve this question:

First of all, we have to calculate the slope from the 2 points (8,2) and (0,0).

We know that the formula for the slope is: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

From the question, y2 = 0, y1 =2, x1 =8 and x2 = 0.

Therefore, slope (m) = (0 - 2)/(0 - 8)

This gives us m = 2/8 and simplified further to 1/4.

The slope intercept form of the equation is y = mx + c where "m" is the slope.

Therefore substituting the value of 1/4 for "m" in the equation, we get;

y = (x/4) + c

Now to get the value of "c",let's substitute the value of x and y from the first intercept of (8,2).

We get; 2 = (8/4) + c

; 2 = 2 + c

Subtract 2 from both sides to get c = 0.

Also, when we use the value of x and y from the second intercept (0,0), we get the same value of c=0

Therefore the equation for the 2 points are y = 4x + 0 which gives y=4x
