Two containers are being filled with water. One begins with 8 gallons of water and is filled at a rate of 3.5 gallons per minute

. The other begins with 24 gallons and is filled at 3.25 gallons per minute.
Part A: Write an equation that represents the amount of water w, in gallons, with respect to time t, in minutes, for each container.

Part B: Solve the system of equations. Show your work.

Part C: How long would it take for both of the containers to have the same amount of water? How much water would be in each container?

Answer:

PART A:

w-3.5 t=8

w-3.25t=24

PART B:

t=64

and w= 232

PART C:

It will take 64 minutes for both of the containers to have the same amount of water.

The amount of water in each container is:

232 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A:

Let the water is filling in 't' minutes.

and 'w' denotes the amount of water in the container.

for container 1:

One begins with 8 gallons of water and is filled at a rate of 3.5 gallons per minute.

The equation is given by:

w=8+3.5 t

or w-3.5 t=8---------(1)

for container 2:

The other begins with 24 gallons and is filled at 3.25 gallons per minute.

The equation is given by:

w=24+3.25t

or w-3.25t=24--------(2)

PART B:

on solving equation (1) and equation (2) by method of elimination we get:

subtract equation (2) by equation (1) to obtain:

-3.5t+3.25t=8-24\\\\-0.25t=-16\\\\t=\dfrac{16}{0.25}\\\\t=64

t=64

and  putting the value of t in equation (1) to obtain:

w-3.5\times 64=8\\\\w-224=8\\\\w=232

w= 232

PART C:

Hence it will take 64 minutes for both of the containers to have the same amount of water.

The amount of water in each container is:

232 gallons.

There is a bag with only milk and dark chocolates. The probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate is 5 12 . There are 40
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

There must be 96 milk chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the original ratio, 5:12, and replace the 5 with 40, you'd discover that 40 divided by 5 is 8. So what do you do? You multiply the 12 by 8 to get 96 so now the ratio is 40:96.

Use set-builder notation to describe the following sets: (a) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} (b) {1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000} (c) {1,1/2, 1/3, 1/4,
Alja [10]

Answer:

A) The set builder notation is: {n | n∈Z, 1≤n≤7}.

B) The set builder notation is: \{10^x | x=0,1,2,3,4\}

C) The set builder notation is: \{\frac{1}{n} | n\in z\}

D) The set builder notation can be: \{x\ \in R | x=x^3\ and\ x\neq 1\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information,

We need to use set-builder notation to describe the following sets.

(a) {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

Here, the number are integer starting from 1 to 7.

Thus, the set builder notation is: {n | n∈Z, 1≤n≤7}.

(b) {1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000}

The above set can be written as:

\{1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000\}=\{10^0, 10^1, 10^2, 10^3, 10^4\}

Thus, the set builder notation is: \{10^x | x=0,1,2,3,4\}

(c) {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, ...}

Here the numerator is 1 for each term but denominator is natural number.

Thus, the set builder notation is: \{\frac{1}{n} | n\in z\}

(d) {0}

The set builder notation can be: \{x\ \in R | x=x^3\ and\ x\neq 1\}
