Answer:

We can measure 4 gallon by successively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you have an 8-gallon jug of water and two empty jugs with capacities of 5 gallons and 3 gallons, respectively. We are asked to prove or disprove that you can measure 4 gallon by successively pouring some of or all of the water in a jug into another jug.

First of all, we will pour 5 gallons of water from 8 gallon jug. Then we will pour 5 gallons of water from 5 gallon jug to 3 gallon jug. That will result in 2 gallons of water in 5 gallon jug.

Now, we will pour 3 gallons of water from 3 gallon jug to 8 gallon jug and pour 2 gallons from 5 gallon jug into 3 gallon jug. That will give us 6 gallons in 8 gallon jug and 2 gallons in 3 gallon jug and empty 5 gallon jug.

In our last step, we will fill 5 gallons jug from 8 gallon jug. After filling 5 gallon jug, we will fill 3 gallons jug from 5 gallon jug. Since 3 gallon jug already contains 2 gallons water, so it can only take one more gallon.

After pouring one gallon from 5 gallon jug, we will get 4 gallons water in 5 gallon jug.

Therefore, we can measure 4 gallon by successively pouring some of the water in a jug into another jug.

The mean temperature for the first 7 days in January was 3 °C.
g100num [7]

Answer:

<u><em>3.5 °C</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the answer multiply 3 and 7 to get the sum of the temperatures in the first seven days.

        3 x 7 = 21

  • Add 21 and 8 together to get the sum of the temperatures in the first 8 days.

        21 + 8 =29

  • Divide 29 by 8 to get the mean temperature for the first eight days.

       29 ÷ 8 = 3.5

       3.5 °C
