Answer:
5 4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
9 * 5 = 45
49 - 45 = 4
If Mai is filling her fish tank with water flowing into the tank at a constant rate, and the tank fills 0.8 gallons in 0.5 minutes, then the tank will be filled with 4.8 gallons of water after 3 minutes.
As per the question statement, Mai is filling her fish tank with water flowing into the tank at a constant rate, and the tank fills 0.8 gallons in 0.5 minutes.
We are required to calculate the volume of water in gallons, that will be filled in the above mentioned tank after 3 minutes.
Here, it is given that, the tank gets filled with 0.8 gallons of water in 0.5 minutes, and that, the water flows into the tank at a constant rate.
So first, let us calculate the water flow rate into the tank per minute, that is, [(0.8 * 2) = 1.6 gallons] per minute, since [(0.5 minutes * 2) = 1 minute]
Therefore, the tank will get filled with [(1.6 * 3) = 4.8 gallons] of water in 3 minutes, if the water inflow rate is 1.6 gallons per minute.
- Gallons: A gallon (gal) is a measuring unit for volume and capacity, typically used by the U.S. customary and earlier by the British Imperial Systems of Measurement, with 1 US gallon being equal to 3.785411784 Litres, and 1 imperial gallon being equal to 4.54609 L.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.
Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.
Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")
Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.
We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: 
We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures 
, so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:
Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):
Area of hexagon = 
which is the last option given in the list.
