Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Rita's tank contains =7.8 gallons of water

Filling rate = 2.1 gallons per minute

Wendy's tank contains = 97.8 gallons

Drain rate =. 0.9 gallons per minute

After how many minutes will both contain the same amount of water.

Let number of minutes = m

Rita is filling :

Initial + increase

7.8 + 2.1m ----(1)

Wendy is emptying:

Initial - decrease

97.8 - 0.9m - - - (2)

Equate both ;

(1) = (2)

7.8 + 2.1m = 97.8 - 0.9m

2.1m + 0.9m = 97.8 - 7.8

3m = 90

m = 90 / 3

m = 30 minutes

A container shapes like an inverted cone holds 96 cubic centimeters of water. The height of the cup is 14 centimeters. Find the
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Cone Volume = (PI * radius^2 * height) / 3

96 cc = (PI * radius^2 * 14) / 3

(96 * 3) / (PI * 14) = radius^2

radius ^ 2 = 6.5480890872

radius = 2.5589234235

diameter = radius *2 = 5.117846847  cm

diameter = 5.12 cm (rounded)

Graph the system of equations.<br><br> {2x - y =4<br> {x - y = -2
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

2x-y=4

x-y=-2

We write the system in slope-intercept form:

y=2x-4

y=x+2

The first equation has slope of 2 and y-intercept at (0,-4)

When y=0, x=2.

We plot (0,-4) and (2,0) to graph this first equation.

The second equation has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept at (0,2)

Also when y=0, x=-2.

We plot (0,2) and (-2,0) and draw a straight line through them.

The graph of the system is shown in the attachment.
