Answer:

\frac{21}{4} quarts

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts

To find:

Number of quarts leaked in 1 week?

Number of days taken for the leakage of 9 quarts of water?

Solution:

We can simply use unitary method or the ratio to find the answers of the questions asked in the statement.

As per question statement:

Amount of water leaked in 4 days = 3 quarts

Dividing by 4 on both sides:

Amount of water leaked in 1 day = \frac{3}{4} quarts

Multiplying by 7 on both sides:

Amount of water leaked in 7 days = \frac{3}{4}\times 7 = \frac{21}{4} quarts

Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 quarts = 4 days

Multiplying by 3 on both sides:

Number of days taken for the leakage of 3 \times 3 = 9 quarts = 4 \times 3 = <em>12 days</em>

Increasing. For every week that goes by, Olivia's puppy is gaining one pound. 6-5= 1  14-13= 1. Gaining a pound every week makes the puppies weight increase. Since increase is the term for something is bigger than number or value than before, Olivia's puppies' weight is increasing. 

I hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of 5x is still 5x.

5x - 2 = 18

Add 2 to both sides

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4
