Answer:
18 days
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on the number of frogs, but if there is one frog then it would be...
9÷.5= 18 (18 half cups in 9 cups)
Therefore, one frog can eat for 18 days because it is only eating .5 a day.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
sum means addition
the problem says sum of -4x and 2 meaning -4x + 2
the word "is" right before 9 means equals 9
Answer:
R is a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
60% or 3/5 of the tank will be filled in an hour.
The pump will fill 2/5 of the tank in 2/3 hours.
In order to find out how much of the tank will be filled in an hour, use direct proportion and assume portion of the tank that will be filled up in an hour is x.
<em>2/5 of tank : 2/3 hours </em>
<em>x of tank : 1 hour </em>
Cross multiply to get:
2/3x = 2/5
x = 2/5 ÷ 2/3
x = 2/5 x 3/2
= 0.6 of the tank
= 60%
= 3/5 of tank
In conclusion, 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.
