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.

25%


If you are buying 2 shirts for the same price, you have to calculate the cost of the shirt at half price first (1 piece of the pie) and then add it the original price (2 equal pieces of the pie since you just divided that to the price of the second shirt). That would be considered 3 out of 4 pieces off the pie or 75%. Your savings would be 25%.

Dilation is either : enlargement or shirking.

Simply you multiply the ordered pair times the dilation vector (Origin-Centered) 

D.F = dilation factor;


d.f  = 5

C' = d.fC

when you multiply a constant times an ordered pair , it multiples into each of the pair.


C' = 5 ( -5 , 1 ) = ( -25, 5 ) 

In case you were asked for A' , B' (test yourself before checking) 



A' = 5 (-4,3) = ( -20 , 15)

B' = 5 ( 2, 3 ) = ( 10, 15) 

Dividing the dilated by the original pair results in the dilation factor

A'/A =  (-20/15)/(-4,3) = 5(-4,3)/(-4,3) = 5

MArishka [77]

Answer:

25.92 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first minute, the hot air balloon rises 120 feet.

And it is given that, the balloon rises in a minute only 60% of the height it rose in the previous minute.  

Therefore, in the second minute, the balloon rises by (120×0.6) =72 feet

And in the third minute, the balloon rises by (72×0.6) =43.2 feet

Hence, in the fourth minute, the balloon rises by (43.2 ×0.6) =25.92 feet (Answer)
