Noelle has containers that each hold one gallon of liquid. She used these containers to dispose of waste from the chemistry labo

ratory. She collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table , and 3 quarts 1 pint from the fourth table. What is the least number of containers Alyssa needed to collect the waste ? ( 4 quarts = 1 gallon , 2 pints = 1 quart )

Answer:

4 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Noelle collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

She also collected 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table.

Finally, she collected collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the fourth table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

So, the total amount of liquid she collected in quarts is V = 3.5 quarts + 4 quarts + 2 quarts + 3.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts + 5.5 quarts = 13 quarts

We now convert this value to gallons to know the amount of containers Noelle needs since she has one gallon containers.

13 quarts = 13 × 1 quarts = 13 quarts × 1 gallon/4 quarts = 13/4 gallons = 3.25 gallons

Since the total amount of liquid is 3.25 gallons = 3 gallons + 0.25 gallons, Noelle would need 4 containers since 3 containers would contain the first 3 gallons and the fourth container would contain the remaining 0.25 gallons.

So, Alyssa would need 4 containers.

Consider the statement : Congruent triangles are always similar. Which of the following statements is an example of the statemen
swat32

Answer:

Yes, the congruent triangles are always similar. The following statements are applicable

1) Angles are the same, but sides are proportional to eachother.

2) Sides are the same size.

3)Corresponding angles and corresponding sides are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, they are similar.

For two triangles to be similar, it is sufficient if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of the other triangle. Note that if two angles of one are equal to two angles of the other triangle, the third angles of the two triangles too will be equal.

If two triangles are congruent then all corresponding sides as well as corresponding angles of one triangle are equal to those of other triangles. This can happen in four cases

1)- when all sides of triangles are equal,

2) - if one side and two angles of one are equal to one side and two angles of other triangle.

3) - if two sides and included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and included angle of other triangle

4)- if in two right angled triangles, one side and hypotenuse of one triangle are equal to one side and hypotenuse of other triangle.

Observe that for triangles to be similar, we just need all angles to be equal. But for triangles to be congruent, angles as well as sides should be equal.

Hence, while congruent triangles are similar, similar triangles may not be congruent ( but the converse is not true) .

If the function f(x) = -1/2x - 7 were graphed, which of the following would be true?
Fittoniya [83]
ANSWER

D. As the x-values increase, the y-values would decrease

EXPLANATION

The given function is
y =  -  \frac{1}{2} x - 7


The slope of this function is
m =  -  \frac{1}{2}

Since the slope is negative, there is a negative or an inverse relationship between x and y.

As the values of x increases, the values of y decreases.

Also, as the values of x decreases, the values of y increases.

The first option is not true because as x is becoming bigger and bigger negatively, y will become positive.

For instance, when
x =  - 40
y =  -  \frac{1}{2} ( - 40) - 7


This implies that,

y = 20 - 7 = 13

Options B is obviously not true because the function has a negative relationship between x and y.


Option C is also false because, x can be positive since it is the independent variable.

See graph



Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
