Answer: it will take 9 hours to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is shaped like a rectangular prism with length 30 feet, wide 18 ft, and depth 4ft. It means that when the pool is full, its volume is

30 × 18 × 4 = 2160 ft³

If water is pumped out of the pool at a rate of 216ft3 per hour, then the rate at which the water in the pool is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(initial amount of water in the pool when completely full).

d represents the common difference(rate at which it is being pumped out)

n represents the number of terms(hours) in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 2160 degrees

d = - 216 ft3

Tn = 0(the final volume would be zero)

We want to determine the number of terms(hours) for which Tn would be zero. Therefore,

0 = 2160 - 216 (n - 1)

2160 = 216(n - 1) = 216n + 216

216n = 2160 - 216

216n = 1944

n = 1944/216

n = 9

Write a function to describe the following scenario.
Tanya [424]

Answer: Taxi driver has at most $10 to spend on the cab ride, he can travel at most 12.7 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Taxi driver charges a flat rate = 7.25 dollars

taxi fare for 1 mile = 0.65 dollars

Suppose we consider Total money taxi driver can spend = 10 dollars

Let taxi driver travel x miles

Total charges = flat rate charge + taxi fare for each mile(distance) travelled

Find the value y = [?] + [?]x

suppose these two question marks indicate z1,z2

replace with y=10 and z1=1.75 and z2=0.65 values

Then y = [z1] + [z2]x

10 = 1.75 + 0.65(x)

0.65(x) = 10 - 1.75

0.65(x)= 8.25

x = 8.25/0.65

x = 12.7 miles

If Taxi driver has at most $10 to spend on the cab ride, he can travel at most 12.7 miles.
