Answer: The required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Nestor works at a garden where he pots plants. It takes him $2\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{hour}$ to pot 15 plants.

We are to find the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Number of plants Nestor can plot in $2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ hour = 15.

So, the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour will be

$\dfrac{15}{\frac{5}{2}}=15\times\dfrac{2}{5}=6.$

Thus, the required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

15 divided by 2 1/2=6
Nestor can pot 6 plants in an hour. (I'm guessing that it said 2 1/2 hours)

The height and diameter of a cone-shaped storage tank are 9 feet (height) and 14 feet

lana [24]

Answer: 461.60 is the volume of liquid the tank can hold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given;

Height H = 9 ft

Diameter D = 14 ft

Pie π = 3.14

We will make use the formula of volume of a cone to get volume of water the tank can hold because it is said that the tank is in the shape of a cone

V = 1/3 * πr2h

First we need to find our radius r

Radius = 1/2 of diameter = 14/2 = 7

So using the formula

V = 1/3 * πr2h

V = 1/3 (3.14 * 7² * 9)

V = (3.14 * 49 * 9)/3

V = 1384.74 / 3

V = 461.58 = 461.60 (nearest ten)

False. Supplementary angles have to add up to 180 degrees, and that is clearly not a flat line lol

Paralell to y=4x-6 through (12,10)

stiks02 [169]

ANSWER

The line that is parallel to $y=4x-6$ through $(12,10)$ is $y=2x-14$ .

EXPLANATION

The equation that is parallel to the line $y=4x-6$ has a slope that is equal to the slope of this line.

By comparing this equation to the general slope intercept form,

$y=mx+c$ ,this line has slope $m=2$ .

Hence the line parallel to this line also has slope $m=2$ .

Let $y=mx+b$ be the equation of the line parallel to the line

$y=4x-6$

We can substitute $m=2$ to obtain;

$y=2x+b$

If the line passes through the point $(12,10)$ ,then this point must satisfy its equation.

We substitute $x=12$ and $y=10$ to obtain;

$10=2(12)+b$

We this equation for $b$ .

$\Rightarrow 10=24+b$

$\Rightarrow 10-24=b$

$\Rightarrow -14=b$

We substitute this value of $b=-14$ in to $y=2x+b$ to get;

$y=2x+-14$ .

Hence the equation of the line that is parallel to $y=4x-6$ through $(12,10)$ is $y=2x-14$ .
