Answer:

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

" By the integer '-3' we mean there is a decrease in the quantity of anything or that it is lacking behind ".

| statement: You gain 3 pounds

is a positive quantity as there is gain of something. so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

|| statement: You set your clock 3 hours ahead.

is also a positive quantity as the time is leading by 3 hours; so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

||| statement: You use 3 gallons of gas.

is a negative quantity as after the usage of 3 gallons of gas the quantity of gas will decrease so integer '-3' will be used to define it.

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

The correct answer would be number 3 only because you are taking away when you have a negative number. SO u are taking away 3 gallons of gas.

It would take the faucet 18 hours to fill the tank because 18/12=1.5. That means it will be 1.5 times slower to fill the tank up with the hose on. 1.5*12=18.

The remainder from the division of the algebraic equation is -53/8.

<h3>What is the remainder of the algebraic expression?</h3>

The remainder of the algebraic expression can be determined by using the long division method.

Given that:
$\mathbf{f(x) = \dfrac{x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x - 1}{2x-3}}$

where:

The divisor = 2x -3

Using the long division method, we have:

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{x^2}{2} +\dfrac{-\dfrac{9x^2}{2}+3x -1 }{2x-3}}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{9x}{4} +\dfrac{-\dfrac{-15x}{4}-1 }{2x-3}}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{9x}{4} -\dfrac{15}{8}+\dfrac{-\dfrac{53}{8} }{2x-3}}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{9x}{4} -\dfrac{15}{8}-\dfrac{53 }{8(2x-3)}}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the remainder is -53/8.

2 5/8 ounces of juice are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 3/8 - 3 6/8 =

51/8 - 30/8 (Converted into improper fractions.)
51/8 - 30/8 = 21/8
21/8 = 2 5/8 (Converted improper fraction into a mixed fraction.)
