17/4 + 17/4 + 17/4 = 51/4 cups
51/4 = 12 3/4 cups
What's the problem you need help with
Answer: 30 feet per second
========================================
x = diameter, y = speed of water
y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k
If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6
So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x
Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...
y = 3/x
y = 3/0.1
y = 30 feet per second
Answer:
- It has taken Jake about 40 minutes to finish his Spanish homework.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Homework = 4 hours = Spanish + Math + Science + History
- Spanish = 4 hours x 1/6
- Math = 4 hours x 1/4
- Science = 4 hours x 1/4
- History = 4 hours x 1/3
<u>Work:</u>
- Spanish = 4 hours x 1/6
- => 2 hours x 1/3
- => 2/3 hour
- => 2/3 x 60 minutes
- => 40 minutes
Hence, it has taken Jake about 40 minutes to finish his Spanish homework.
