Answer:21 marbles would be added to raise the water 2 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When 12 marbles are added to a rectangular aquarium, the water in the aquarium rises 1 1/2 inches. Converting 1 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 inches

Let x represent the number of marbles that would be added to the aquarium to raise the water 2 3/4 inches. Converting 2 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. Therefore

12 marbles = 3/2 inches rise

x marbles = 11/4 inches rise

Cross multiplying,

12 × 11/4 = 3/2 × x

33 = 3x/2

3x = 33 × 2 = 66

x = 66/3 = 21

Simora [160]
<span>Karen got an average of 0.444 hits out of 45 bats.
We need to find the number of hits did Karen got.
=> 45 bats all in all
=> 0.444 average hits
x = how many hit did she get
Now, let’s multiply the total bats to Karen’s average hit:
=> 45 x 0.444 …. (repeating decimals)
=>  20
Therefore, Karen hit 20 times out of 45 bats
Let’s check our answer:
=> 20 / 45
=> 0.44444…. (repeating decimals)
