Answer: 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Afternoon-x; morning- 1.5x; Evening: 1/2x

Make a equation: 1.5x+x+1/2=6

2.5x+1/2x=6

5/2x+1/2x=6

6x=12

x=2

An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 4 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft. S
gavmur [86]

Answer:

8\:\mathrm{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

r^2\cdot\pi\cdot h

Since the diameter is 2.2, the radius is \frac{2.2}{2}=1.1.

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is:

1.1^2\cdot 3.14\cdot 4=15.1976\:\mathrm{ft^3}, using \pi=3.14 as requested in the problem.

Since the tank is emptied at a constant rate of 1.5\:\mathrm{ft^3\:per\:minute}, it will take

\frac{15.1976}{1.5}=7.5988=\fbox{$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$} to empty the tank.

Galina-37 [17]
Let the price of adult ticket and children ticket be a and c respectively
8a+5c=177.50 -> 24a+15c=532.5
12a+6c=255.00 -> 24a+12c=510

24a+15c-24a-12c=532.5-510
3c=22.5
c=7.5
a=17.5

In the following question, a is a real number. Question: what choice of a would yield a system of linear equations with NO solut
Yanka [14]

Answer: The value of <em>a</em> should be 3.11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

9x-14y=-3\\\\2x-ay=-6

We need to find the value of a so that it would yield a system of linear equations with NO solutions.

As we know the condition of no solutions, it means the lines should be parallel.

i.e.

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Consider the first two terms:

\dfrac{9}{2}=\dfrac{-14}{-a}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 14}{9}\\\\a=3.11

So, the value of<em> a</em> should be 3.11.
