The answer would be 11 gallons.
The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.
So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.
Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.
We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3
This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:
3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21
So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.
Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:
32-21=11
So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.
Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.
Answer: To get 24
Step-by-step explanation
What you would need to do is first multiply 12 x 5 would come out as 60.
Then from 60 you subtract 17 and 12 to get 5. Divide by the 5 that you just got from 17 and 12 and to get 20. Using the 4 add it to the 20 to get 24.
The area of this square is said to be 576 square inches.
The formula for the area of a square is the length of one side squared.
Let's use l to represent the side length.
This means l^2 = 576.
To find l, find the square root of both sides.
<span>√576 = 24

The length of each side of the square is 24 inches.
But the question is asking for it in feet.
12 inches = 1 foot so 24 inches = 2 feet
This means each side of the square is 2 feet long.
Answer:
2 feet
