Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed or Rate = Distance / time

Distance = Speed × time

Nicholas's sand castle is 30 cm tall and he is adding sand at a rate of 12 cm per minute.

Nicholas = Nina

30cm + (12cm/min)x

= 30 + 12x

Nina's sand castle is 78 cm tall and she is adding more sand to it at a rate of 6 cm per minute.

78cm + (6cm/min)x

78 + 6x

30 + 12x = 78 + 6x

12x - 6x = 78 - 30

6x = 48

x = 48/6

x = 8 minutes

Therefore, after 8 minutes, Nina and Nicholas's sand castles be the same height.

George has a triangle-shaped garden in his backyard. He drew a model of this garden on a coordinate grid with vertices A(4, 2),
oksian1 [2.3K]
Given:

Vertices of a triangular garden:

A(4,2)
B(2,4)
C(6,4)
Scale factor = 0.5

Find the distance between points:

d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

dAB = 2√2
dBC = 4
dCA = 2√2

A similarly shaped garden is to be created using the scale factor, 0.5:

A' = 2√2 / 0.5 = 4√2
B' = 4 / 0.5 = 8
C' = 2√2 / 0.5 = 4√2

Oliga [24]
Leaking water has the rate of 2 gal per 5 minutes which is the same as :
2 gal ÷ 5 minutes = 0.4 gal/minute
Then we multiply it by the number of minutes which is 23 as follows :
0.4 gal/minute × 23 minutes = 9.2 galons wasted during the 23 minutes
