Answer:

36 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Data:

A = 864 ft²

 l = length of basement

w = ⅔l

Calculations:

864 = l × ⅔l

864 = ⅔l²

Multiply each side by 3:               2592 = 2l²

Divide each side by 2:                  1296 = l²

Take the square root of each side:     l = 36

The length of the basement is 36 ft.

Check:

w = ⅔l = 24 ft

864 = 36 × 24

864 = 864

A large container holds 5 gallons of water. It begins leaking at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the container has 3 gallons
Anna007 [38]
5 - 10 x = 3
10 x = 5 - 3
10 x = 2
x = 10 : 5
x = 0.2
The rate is : 0.2 gallons / minute
5 - t * 0.2 = 0
t * 0.2 = 5
t = 5 : 0.2
t = 25 min
Answer: After 25 minutes the container will be empty.
