Answer:

7.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the number of hours taken to fill the pool be x

the current quantity is 1/2 the capacity of the pool

we are given that the rate of flow = 4.75 in per hour

let the total amount of water after x hours be y, the expression for the quantity of water is given as

y= 0.5+4.75x

if y= 33.75 in, let us find x

33.75= 0.5+4.75x\\\\33.75-0.5= 4.75x\\\\33.25= 4.75x\\\\

divide both sides by 4.75

x= 33.75/4.75\\\\x= 7.10

Hence, it will take 7.1 hours

10) Gabe put up a fence around his rectangular vegetable garden this weekend.

Answer:

The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = length & let W = width.

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(L + W)

The area of a rectangle is

A = LW

We know the perimeter and the area, so we substitute those values int he equations above and we switch sides in both equations.

Perimeter: 2(L + W) = 38

Divide both sides by 2:

L + W = 19

Area: LW = 48

We have a system of two equations in two unknowns:

L + W = 19

LW = 48

Solve the first equation for L and substitute it into the second equation.

L = 19 - W

(19 - W)W = 48

19W - W^2 - 48 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1, and rearrange the order of the terms.

W^2 - 19W + 48 = 0

(W - 16)(W - 3) = 0

W - 16 = 0 or W - 3 = 0

W = 16 or W = 3

Use W = 3 to find L

L = 19 - W

L = 19 - 3

L = 16

Answer: The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use PEMDAS to complete the problem

PE doesn't matter, there's not parentheses or exponents

MD=Multiplication and Division. Do 3*6=9, now your problem looks like 9-4

AS=Addition and Subtraction. 9-4=5
