Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * \frac{1}{3} .... first multiply the right side of the equation

6t = 48   ... next divide both sides by 6

t = 8

Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.

An oil tank has a capacity of 45 gallons. At the beginning of October it is 80% full. At the end of October it is 1/3 full. How
Yakvenalex [24]
Capacity of the tank = 45 gallon
At the beginning of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*0.8 = 36 gallons
At the end of Oct., amount of oil in the tank = 45*1/3 = 15 gallons
So, amount of oil used during Oct = (36-15) = 21 gallons

An European style café latte uses 1.5oz of espresso and 8oz of milk. You accidentally add 12oz of milk to 1.5oz of espresso. How
ELEN [110]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The one thing that changes in the problem is the milk. It goes from 8 oz. to 12 oz., so we are going to use the oz count to determine the amount of espresso. Since the amount of milk rose, so is the amount of espresso. Now, you take the larger number and divide it by the smaller number (12 / 8 = 1.5). This answer will tell you by what multiple it increased by. Once you have the multiple it increased by, you multiply that answer (1.5) by the other unknown changing number, so 1.5 x 1.5. Do this and you get 2.5.
