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.

For what value of “a”are the graphs of 5y = -2x + 10 and 3y = aX- 15 parallel
Pie

Answer:

a = -6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the graphs to be parallel the graphs should have same slope(m)

So we rewrite both our equations in the slope-intercept form then compare the slope to find the value of a like this,

y=mx+b

This equation is the slope-intercept form we convert both our equations in this form firstly taking equation 1

5y=-2x+10\\\\y=\frac{-2x+10}{5} \\\\y=\frac{-2}{5}x+\frac{10}{5} \\\\y=\frac{-2}{5}x+2

so if we compare it with y = mx + b the coefficient of x is m and hence

m= -2/5 now solving for equation 2

3y=ax-15\\\\y=\frac{ax-15}{3} \\\\y=\frac{ax}{3}-\frac{15}{3}  \\\\y=\frac{a}{3}x-5\\\\

so here if we compare it with y = mx + b the coeffienct of x is a/3 so since parallel lines have same slope by the formula:

m_1=m_2

we equation both the slope to each other to find the value of a like this,

m_1=m_2\\\\\frac{-2}{5}=\frac{a}{3}\\\\-2(3)=a(5)\\\\-6=5a\\-6/5=a

so the value of a equals

a= -6/5
