Answer:

8 cups disinfectant per 36 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, set up an equation of ratios:

 2/3 cup disinfectant          3 gallons water        1

--------------------------------  =  -------------------------- = -----

                x                          36 gallons water      12

Cross multiplication yields  12(2/3 cup disinfectant) = 1x, so that:

x = 8 cups

8 cups of disinfectant are needed to make a solution involving 36 cups water.

Draw a vertical line at the number 4 on your x axis positive side which is x=4

Then anything on the left of this line you just created at x=4 will be less than 4.  But since your inequality is x  less than/equal to 4 it includes 4 as well.

In a different plan for area​ codes, the first digit could be any number from 4 through 8​, the second digit was either 3, 4, 5,
Snezhnost [94]

For the first digit, we have 5 options that are 4,5,6,7,8 . For the second digit, we have 4 options which are 3,4,5 or 6 and for the third digit, we have the options of all numbers except 2 or 5 that is 1,3,4,6,7,8,9,0 . SO we have 8 options for third digit . So to find the total number of options, we need to multiply all the possible options for each digit that is 5 times 4 times 8 = 160 . So the number of possible options are 160 .
