Answer:
84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets how many how to change oz to cup
- One cup contains 8 oz
- We can use the ratio to solve this problem
- A hose is leaking water at a rate of 2 oz/h
- We need to find how many cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks
∵ The rate of the water leak out is 2 oz/hr
∵ 1 cup contains 8 oz
∴ 1 oz =
cup
∴ 2 oz = 2 ×
=
=
cup
∴ The rate of the water leak out =
cup/h
∵ 1 day = 24 hours
∵ 1 week = 7 days
∴ 1 week = 7 × 24 = 168 hours
∵ The number of hours in 1 week is 168
∴ The number of hours in 2 weeks = 168 × 2 = 336 hours
⇒ cups : hours
⇒
: 1
⇒ x : 336
- By using cross multiplication
∴ x = 336 × 
∴ x = 84
- x represents the number of cups of water leak out
<em>84 cups of water will leak out after 2 weeks</em>
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5x+4=1/3x-8
add 8 to both sides and subtract 1/5x from both sides
4+8=1/3x-1/5x
12=5/15x-3/15x
12=2/15x
divide both sides by 2/15
12÷2/15=x
when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply
12*15/2=x
90=x
CHECK:
1/5(90)+4=1/3(90)-8
18+4=30-8
22=22
An exponential function displays either a growth or decay behavior going from a low steep to a high steep.
