Answer:

0.625 gallons each

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she used 5 gallons of water, and poured the same amount of water for each plant, divide the number of gallons she used by the number of plants:

5 divided by 8

= 0.625 gallons per plant

find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342? show step by step

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

Ann cleans an apartment in 12 hours and liz cleans an apportment in 18 hours. How long would it take to clean an appartment toge

Tresset [83]

If Ann cleans in 12 hours then she cleans $\frac{1}{12}$ of the apartment per hour. Similarly Liz cleans $\frac{1}{18}$ of the appartment per hour. So together then can clean $\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{5}{36}$ of the apartment for hour. Therefor it will take them $\frac{36}{5}=7.2$ hours to clean.

The general formula $R_{c}=\frac{AB}{A+B}$ can be used as a check if needed.
