Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her work "x" hours for paperwork

Since, patrolling amount of hours is THREE TIMES that,

Patrolling = 3x hours

Total Hours = 36

That is including paperhour work (x) and patrolling (3x). So we can setup an equation in x and solve for x first:

x + 3x = 36

4x = 36

x = 36/4

x = 9 hours

Amount of Hours for Patarolling = 3x hours = 3(9) = 27 hours

So, she spends 27 hours patrolling

Step-by-step explanation:

10 gallons and 300 miles are related in such a way that you divide the number if miles by number of gallons.

300/10 = 30 miles per gallon.

It shows for each gallon consumed, we multiply by 30 to get the amount of Miles.

5 gallons ad 150 miles related in such a way that you divide the number if miles by number of gallons.

150/5 = 30 miles per gallon.

It shows for each gallon consumed, we multiply by 30 to get the amount of Miles.

1 gallon and 30 miles related in such a way that you divide the number if miles by number of gallons.

30/1= 30 miles per gallon.

It shows for each gallon consumed, we multiply by 30 to get the amount of Miles.

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Kerosene weighs 0.82 g
netineya [11]

Answer:

The specific gravity of kerosene is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of Kerosene

y ----> the weight in grams of a cubic centimeter of water

z ---> the specific gravity of a substance

so

z=\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=0.82\ g\\y=1\ g

substitute the values

z=\frac{0.82}{1}=0.82
