One data is missing. You need the volume of the pool or some data that permit you to calculate this volume.

The same statement given by you is part of a problem where you know a series of data that shows the time required to fill the pool at different flow rates:

flow rate              time
60 gal/h               300 h => 60 gal/h * 300 h = 18,000 gal
45 gal/h               400 h => 45 gal/h * 400 h = 18,000 gal
36 gal/h               500 h => 36 gal/h * 500 h = 18,000 gal
30 gal/h               600 h => 30 gal/h * 600 h = 18,000 gal


So for, this pool to calculated (several times) that the volume is 18,000 gal.

Now you have two hoses one with a flow rate of 40 gal / h and the other with a  flow rate of 60 gal/h.

The total flow rate is the sum of the two flow rates"

total flow rate = 40 gal/h + 60 gal/h = 100 gal/h

And you just must divide the volume of the pool (18,000 gal) by the total flow rate (100 gal/h) to get the time to fill the pool:

time = volume / flow rate = 18,000 gal / 100 gal/h = 180 h.

Answer: 180h

mike's condo has a market value of 310000. the property in mikes area is assessed at 40% of the market value. the tax rate is 14
Svetradugi [14.3K]
If you would like to know Mike's tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

a market value ... 310000
the property ... 40% of the market value = 40% * 310000 = 40/100 * 310000 = 124000

the tax rate ... 145.10 per 1000 of assessed valuation
145.10 ... 1000 of assessed valuation
x ... 124000 of assessed valuation
____________________________
145.10 * 124000 = 1000 * x     /1000
x = 145.10 * 124000 / 1000
x = 17992.4 (Mike's tax)

The correct result would be: Mike's tax is 17992.4.

ITS DUE TODAY<br> GRADES ARE FINAL TODAY PLS HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST<br><br> 0.5a + 8.75 &gt; 13.25
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The answer is <u>9</u>

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

0.5a+8.75=13.25

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

0.5a+8.75=13.25

We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.

+ 0.5a=+13.25-8.75

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+ 0.5a=+4.5

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to get a.

a=9

write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (1,2) and (-2,-1)
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

y=3/4x+5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to use: y1-y2/x2-x1 so you get -3/-4 so your slope is 3/4 and you plug that into one of your point equations im going to use the first one so 2=3/4(1) +b so you are going to get 5/4 for b so your equation is y=3/4x + 5/4

Let me know if this helped!
