Answer:

Weight of empty bottle = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = 1.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

As given , A bottle weighs 1.2 kg when it is 1/4 full of water. It weighs 2.4 kg when it is full.

Let us assume

Weight of empty bottle = x

Weight of water = y

Now,

when the bottle is 1/4 full of water

then,

weight of water = \frac{1}{4}×y

As given , Bottle weight = 1.2 , when it is 1/4 full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 1.2

⇒ \frac{1}{4}×y + x = 1.2

⇒ y + 4x = 4.8      .......(1)

Also given, A bottle weight = 2.4 , when it is full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 2.4

⇒ y + x = 2.4        ......(2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get

y + 4x - ( y+ x) = 4.8 - 2.4

⇒ y + 4x - y - x = 2.4

⇒3x = 2.4

⇒x = \frac{2.4}{3} = 0.8 kg

and y = 2.4 - x = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 kg

∴ we get

Weight of empty bottle = x = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = y = 1.6 kg

Answer:

  -2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the polynomial p(x) in terms of the factors (x+2) and (x-3) as ...

  p(x) = (x+2)(x-3)q(x) +ax +b

Where ax+b is the remainder from division by x^2 -x -6 = (x+2)(x-3). The values of 'a' and 'b' can be found from ...

  p(-2) = 8 = -2a +b

  p(3) = -2 = 3a +b

Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...

  (3a +b) -(-2a +b) = (-2) -(8)

  5a = -10

  a = -2

Then the first equation tells us ...

  8 = -2(-2) +b

  4 = b

So, the remainder from division by (x^2 -x -6) is (-2x +4).

a vehicle moving at a constant speed travels 45 miles in 3/4 hour. the driver thinks he will be late to a meeting that is still
Sedaia [141]
1) we calculte the driver´s unit rate of speed.
s=speed
d=distance
t=time.

s=d/t


45 miles------------------3/4 hour
x-----------------------------  1 hour

x=(45 miles * 1 hour) / (3/4 hour)=60 miles.

speed or rate=60 miles / 1 hour.

2)we calculate the distance traveled at 1.25 hour.

distance=rate * time

distance=(60 miles /1 hour) * 1.25 hour=75 miles.

Answer: the driver would´t go late, because, the distance is 65 miles, and he can travel 75 miles if he drive with that speed .
