Answer ↣ 12 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation ↣ Ok I'm gonna use ratios because I can't draw a graph here.

Ok so if the garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes, then the ratio is 36:3 because every 3 minutes the garden hose "sprays" 36 gallons.

To simplify this ratio, you need find the amount of water the garden hose supplies in 1 minute.

Well to get from 3 to 1, you have to divide by 3.

Do the same thing to 36. 36/3 equals 12.

So the final ratio is 12:1

This is the unit rate. The unit rate is when one variable is 1 unit (most of the time it is speed).

You can multiply 1 by any number and multiply 12 by the same number.

Here are some ratios...

m=minutes

g=gallons

1m:12g

2m:24g

3m:36g

4m:48g

5m:60g

Hope this helped!

BTW why do I sound like this I'm not a aesthetic person-

Solve for x.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = -3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 0.4

0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)

-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4

0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4

Convert to fraction

2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4

Add 1/5 to both sides

-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20

2/5x = -26/20

Convert to decimal

0.4x = -1.3

-1.3/0.4 = -3.25

x = -3.25

Help please!<br> Find perimeter and Area

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

P = 70 mi A = 210 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides:

a = 29 m

b = 20 m

c = 21 m

Angles:

A = 90 °

B = 43.6028 °

C = 46.3972 °

Other:

P = 70 m

s = 35 m

K = 210 mi^2

r = 6 m

R = 14.5 m

Agenda:

A = angle A

B = angle B

C = angle C

a = side a

b = side b

c = side c

P = perimeter

s = semi-perimeter

K = area

r = radius of inscribed circle

R = radius of circumscribed circle

SSS is Side, Side, Side

Heron’s formula says that if a triangle ABC has sides of lengths a, b, and c opposite the respective angles, and you let the semiperimeter, s, represent half of the triangle’s perimeter, then the area of the triangle is

Find the value of in the triangle shown below.

Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

in isoscles triangles two angles and lengths are equal .

two sides equal 3.5

so both of the angles are 55°

the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so

x = 180° - 55° - 55°

x = 70° (Ans)

A drawing has a scale 1/4 in: 12ft. How long is 8ft?

allochka39001 [22]

If you use a proportion, you'll get:

$\frac{0.25}{12} = \frac{x}{8}$

Then, you use cross products:

$12x=0.25(8) \\ 12x=2$

Then, you algebraically solve x:

$12x=2 \\ \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{2}{12} \\ x= \frac{5}{3}$

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
