Answer:
5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: With 11 pipes, you need 31.82 minutes to fill the tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define R as the rate at which one single pipe can fill a tank.
We know that 7 of them can fill a tank in 50 minutes, then we have the equation:
7*R*50min = 1 tank
Whit this equation, we can find the value of R:
R = 1 tank/(7*50min) = (1/350) tank/min.
Now that we know the value of R, we can do the same calculation but now with 11 pipes.
Then the time needed to fill the tank, T, is such that:
11*(1/350 tank/min)*T = 1 tank
We need to isolate T.
T = 1 tank/(11*(1/350 tank/min)) = 31.82 min
With 11 pipes, you need 31.82 minutes to fill the tank.
Answer:
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Percentage of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 5
Number of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 3
2. How many toddlers are in the class?
We'll solve the question, using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Percentage Toddlers
5 3
100 x
*******************************
5x = 3 *100
5x = 300
x = 300/5
x = 60
<u>There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class</u>
Answer: the number of item A that you sold is 11
the number of item B that you sold is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.
Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.
The total number of item A and item B sold is 13. This means that
x + y = 13
The cost of item A is $8 and the
cost of item B is $4. The total amount if money made is $88. This means that
8x + 4y = 88 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes
8(13 - y) + 4y = 88
104 - 8y = 88
8y = 104 - 88 = 16
y = 16/8 = 2
x = 13 - y = 13 - 2 = 11
