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
They are both fractions, but 3/3 is 1 whole and 4/4 is 1 whole also.
so 1 whole times 1 whole equals 1
number form of my explanation:
3/3=1
4/4=1
1x1=1
Describe complete!
The second graph, B is the answer
Here the value of 3 is =3/10
Then 100 fold of 3/10=3/10*100=30
So, the number 26538,532,97436 etc. has that property.
To find the percent you take 18 and divide it by 48, so you get 9/24 or 3/8, by using calculator you get .375 which is 37.5% then you multiply by 100 to convert a decimal to a percentage.
