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.

igomit [66]

Answer: B. $32.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The premiums listed in brackets are for every $25,000 of coverage.

Mateo wants a $100,000 coverage so we need to divide this by $25,000 to see how much more he will have to pay:

= 100,000 / 25,000

= 4

Mateo will have to pay 4 times the $5.50 for himself:

= 4 * 5.50

= $22.00

For his spouse who requires $75,000, he will have to pay:

= 75,000 / 25,000

= 3

= 3 * 3.50

= $10.50

Total Mateo is to pay for both his spouse and himself is:

= 22 + 10.5

= $32.50
