Answer:

It would take 8 days 18 hours for 4 pipes to empty the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first, we need to check if this is a direct or indirect proportion

As the number of pipes increases, the number of days to empty a water tank decreases, as the number of pipes decreases, the number of days it takes to empty a water tank increases. This is an indirect proportion.

Solving using  proportion;

since it is an indirect proportion, the arrangement differs from that of the direct proportion, it will be arrange inversely to each other

Let x be the number of days it will take to empty 4 pipes

7 pipes = 4 pipes

 x         = 5 days

cross-multiply

4×x = 7×5

4x = 35

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

4x/4 = 35/4

x = 8.75 days

But we are asked to leave our answer in days and hour

8.75 days = 8 days + 0.75 days

0.75 day is not up to a day, so we will change it to hour

0.75 day = 0.75 × 24 hours =  18 hours

8.75 days = 8 days 18 hours.

Therefore, it would take 8 days 18 hours for 4 pipes to empty the tank.

arlik [135]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that each box in the graph represents the length of 2 units. The coordinates of point A,B and C are (-1,1),(-3,3) and  (-2,4) respectively.

If a point reflects over the y-axis then,

(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)

So after reflecting coordinates of point C become,

(-2,4)\rightarrow(2,4)

If a point translated by (a,b), then

(x,y)\rightarrow(x+a,y+b)

So, after reflection over y-axis followed by translation by (2,-2), the coordinate of C are,

(2,4)\rightarrow(2+2,4-2)\\(2,4)\rightarrow(4,2)

Similarly the image of point A and B are (3,-1) and (5,1) respectively.

The image of C after reflection over y-axis followed by translation by (2,-2) is (4,2), which is shown in only graph A, Therefore A is the correct option.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

6x + 10t

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each cheese pizza (c) is $6, and each four topping pizza (f) is $10.

Knowing this, the total of all the pizzas is going to be 6* the amount of cheese (c) plus 10* the amount of four-toppings.
