Answer:

<em>It takes 21 hours to fill the pool</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first plan out our problem at hand. If we were to determine the volume of this swimming pool by multiplication of it's dimensions (length * width * height) we could determine how long it would take to fill the pool by dividing this volume by the rate at which the pool fills. This is true as R = D/T, and here we isolate T (time) so that T = D/R, where D is the volume of the pool, and R is the rate at which it fills:

1. Calculate the volume of the pool -

V = length * width * height = 12 * 24 * 6 = 1728 cubic feet

2. Substitute R (rate) into T = D/R to find T (time) -

T = D/R = 1728/86 = (About) 20.09 hours

Now to round this value, we would have to round it up as sparing 20 hours would not fill the pool: 21 hours

sattari [20]

Answer:

The length of the circular arc is 8.64 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of circular arc (L) = central angle/360° × 2πr

central angle = pie/4 = 45°, r (radius) = 11 inches

L = 45°/360° × 2 × 3.142 × 11 = 8.64 inches (to two decimal places)

paula spent 3/8 of her allowance on clothes and 1/6 on entertainment. what fraction of her allowance did she spend on other item
MArishka [77]
We have to calculate the fraction of Paula`s allowance that she spent on other items if she already had spent 3/8 on clothes and 1/6 on entertainment. First we have to add: 3 / 8 + 1 / 6 = ( LCD is 24 ) = 9 / 24 + 4 / 24 = 13 / 24. Then : 1 - 13 / 24 = 24 / 24 - 13 / 24 = 11 / 24. Answer: She has spent 11 / 24<span> of her allowance on other items. </span>

Suppose you walk 2 miles in 35 minutes. 4. write a proportion to find how far you would walk in an hour if you were to continue
Mrac [35]
Distance traveled in 35 minute = 2 miles.

So distance traveled in one minute = 2/35 (miles/minute)
                                                             = 0.0572 miles / minute.

So distance traveled in one hour  , we can find by multiplying it from 60.Because in one hour there is 60 minute.

SO distance traveled in one hour = 0.0572 * 60 
                                                          = 3.432 miles / hour.
