A person drinks 1 pint of milk a day. At this rate how many gallons will a person drink in a leap year (366 days)?

OK. SO first you need to know how many pints are in a gallon. ( one gallon = 8 quarts )

One day = one pint. So we want to find what 366 days equals. 1*366=366 pints in 366 days. We now have 366 pints. We need to convert that to gallons. One gallon equals 8 quarts, so we divide 366 by 8. 366/8= 45.75

So in one leap year a person drinks 45.75 gallons of milk

If that doesn't make sense, ask and i can re explain. Hope that helped! <span />

Rapunzel sees a flying saucer. The radius of the flying saucer is 18 feet. What is the area of the flying saucer using 3.14 roun

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$1017.4ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = $\pi r^{2}$

However, the question wants to use 3.14 instead of $\pi$ .

Since the radius is given, which is 18 feet, we can plug and chug.

$A = 3.14*(18ft)^{2} \\A = 3.14*324ft^{2}\\A = 1017.36ft^{2}$

However, the question wants us to round it to the nearest tenth.

Therefore, the answer is $1017.4ft^{2}$

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

$x^2+2x+7=0$

Using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is given by:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case, <em>a</em> = 1, <em>b</em> = 2, and <em>c</em> = 7.

Substitute:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(2)\pm\sqrt{(2)^2-4(1)(7)}}{2(1)}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-24}}{2}$

Simplify the square root:

$\sqrt{-24}=\sqrt{4\cdot 6\cdot -1}=\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{6}\cdot\sqrt{-1}=2i\sqrt{6}$

Hence:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{6}}{2}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle x=-1\pm i\sqrt{6}$

Hence, our solutions are:

$\displaystyle x=\left\{-1+i\sqrt{6}, -1-i\sqrt{6}\right\}$

Our answer is C.

cluponka [151]

First find the unit rate. Do 17.5/2.5 and you get 7. Next just multiply that by 10 and voila. It takes her 70 minutes to run the whole race.
