Answer:

3/18 gallons/seconds, or 1/6 gallons/seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for every 3 gallons, the faucet fills that amount up in 18 seconds. Another way we can write that is "3 gallons for 18 seconds", or 3 gallons / 18 seconds.

Therefore, in terms of gallons to seconds, we can write this as 3 gallons/18 seconds.

One cool thing we can do with fractions is that if we multiply/divide the numerator by the same thing, the fraction is still the same amount, like if we divided by one. For example, if we multiply 1/10 by 10/10 = 1, we would get 10/100 = 1/10, changing the numbers but still keeping the fraction intact. We can apply this concept here to reduce the fraction.

Reducing the fraction means that we want to make the numerator and denominator as small as possible while still keeping them as integers. This means that, if possible, we should divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (if it is greater than 1).

To find the greatest common factor, we can list factors and find the greatest one among them.

We have two numbers, 3 and 18.

The factors of 3 are 1 and 3 while the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. The greatest common number among these two is 3. Therefore, we can divide both these numbers by 3 to get

3/18 = 1/6 gallons/seconds as our answer

rodikova [14]

Answer: (8^{12})^3=8^{12\times 3}=8^{36}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  the expression (8^{12})^3

We have to simplify the given  expression and choose the correct from the given options.

Consider the expression (8^{12})^3

Using property of exponents,

\left(a^b\right)^c=a^{b\times c}

We have,

(8^{12})^3=8^{12\times 3}=8^{36}

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Stratified Random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

When a random observations are selected from a number of individual groups in a particular population, the type of sampling technique is called Stratified Random sampling. Stratified Random sampling begins with the partitioning or splitting or a population into subgroups. A number of random selection are then made from each of the subgroups to form a collection of larger samples. This is different from the simple random sampling technique which makes random selection directly from a larger sample or population without prior partitioning of the population. The different grades of students represents the individual stratum from which random selections are made.
