Height of the water after 3 minutes is 31.25 inches

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that height of the water in a fish pond is 42.5 inches

Water is being drained from the pond at a rate of 3.75 inches per minute

<em><u>To find:  height of the water after 3 minutes</u></em>

According to given information,

Water drained in 1 minute = 3.75 inches

<em><u>So height of the water after 3 minutes is calculated by following steps:</u></em>

1) find how much water is drained in 3 minutes

2) subtract value obtained in step 1 from total height of water in fish pond

<h3><u>Step 1:</u></h3>

water is drained in 3 minutes = Water drained in 1 minute x 3

\text {water is drained in } 3 \text { minutes }=3.75 \times 3=11.25

Thus water drained in 3 minutes is 11.25 inches

<h3><u>Step 2:</u></h3>

height of the water after 3 minutes = total height of water in fish pond - water drained in 3 minutes

height of the water after 3 minutes = 42.5 - 11.25 = 31.25 inches

Thus height of the water after 3 minutes is 31.25 inches

Am I correct on number 3? If not whats the correct answer? And what is the answer for number 4? Will be marking brainliest!!​
timama [110]

Answer for number 4 is \frac{\bold2}{\bold3} hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum hour spent for all homework (English homework + math homework) is 2 hours.

Let us assume the hours spent for English homework be 'e'.

It is given that:

(Hours spent for math homework) = 2 × (Hours spent for English homework)

Hours spent for math homework = 2 × e = 2e

Total hours spent = (Hours spent for math homework) + (Hours spent for English homework)

Total hours spent = 2e + e = 3e

2 = 3e

3e = 2

∴ e = \frac{\bold2}{\bold3}

Therefore number of hours spent on English homework is equal to \frac{\bold2}{\bold3} hours.
