garden hose fills at a rate of 900 gallons per hour while betty's garden hose fills at a rate of 500 gallons per hour, how much longer does it take betty to fill her pool than wilma?

To solve this problem we will start by calculating time needed for each of them to fill the pool.

We have formula:
Volume = rate * time
Or
time = volume / rate

Wilma:
time = 9900 / 900
time = 11h

Betty:
time = 9900 / 500
time = 19.8h

Now we substract these two numbers:
time_difference = 19.8 - 11 = 8.8h

Betty needs 8.8 hours more than Wilma to fill the pool.

Tell whether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Vertical/ x = 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are self-explanatory; vertical angles are angles that are vertical from each other.

Vertical angles are also congruent (equal), meaning that both angles equal 75°.

4x - 25 = 75.

To solve this expression, we must first add 25 to 75. This is because there is a subtraction sign in front of 25, so we must do the opposite.

25 + 75 = 100

Lastly, divide 100 from 4.

4x = 100

100 / 4 = 25

x = 25

Write a rule that represents the function <br><br> (0,0), (1,6), (2,24), (3,54), (4,96)
Reptile [31]

    These points show that this is not going to be a linear line. This is actually a parabola.

    I find that the function rule is going to be

y=6x^2

A plane descends to sea level from 36 comma 400 feet after being airborne for 1 and one half hours. The entire flight time is 3
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

350 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.

This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.

Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.
