Answer:

1. Write both ratios as fractions and reduce them completely. If they are the same fraction, the ratios form a proportion.

2. Write both ratios as fractions. Do the cross products by multiplying the denominator of each fraction by the numerator of the other fraction. If the cross products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.

Solve the proportion using cross products. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. $18.45/m gal = $3.60/7.5gal

sveta [45]

$\dfrac{\$18.45}{n \text { gallon}} = \dfrac{\$3.60}{7.5 \text { gallon}}$

Cross multiply
$n \times \ 3.60 = 7.5 \times \ 18.45$

Combine like terms
$3.60n = 138.375$

Find n
$n = 138.375\div 360$

Answer
$n = 0.38 \text { (nearest hundredth)}$

The temperature of lake water over a period of time is shown in the graph below.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Answers are 3 AM ; 10 , 54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph.

Recording of temperature starts from 9 PM.

So from Graph,

Temperature ate 9 PM = 59°F

Temperature ate 11 PM = 54°F

Temperature ate 1 AM = 51°F

Temperature ate 3 AM = 50°F

Temperature ate 5 AM = 51°F

Temperature ate 7 AM = 54°F

Temperature ate 9 AM = 59°F

So, At 3 AM the water is at its lowest temperature.

and

After 10 hours passed, the temperature of the lake is 54°F.

Therefore, Answers are 3 AM ; 10 , 54
