Answer:

213.333 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A small office purchases bottled drinking water. The water comes in containers that hold 5 gallons. Two-thirds of the office container was drained last week to put out a fire in the wastebasket.

a. How much water (in ounces) is left in the container?

b. How many 12-ounce glasses can be filled with the water that remains in the container

Container = 5 gallons

Two-thirds was drained last week to put out a fire in the wastebasket

That is 2/3 of 5

= 2/3 × 5

= 10 / 3 gallons

Water left in the container = 5 - 10/3

= 15-10/3

= 5/3 gallons

Convert 5/3 gallons to ounces

5/3 gallons = 213.333 ounces

B. Number of 12 ounces glass that can be filled from the water left in the container = 213.333 ounces / 12

= 17.77775

Approximately 18

A toy falls from a window 70 feet above the ground. How long does it take the toy to hit the​ ground?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

2.09 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given...

y = 70 feet

v0 = 0 feet/second

a = 32 feet/second^2

We need to find t using the following equation...

y = v0 * t + (1/2) * a * t^2

70 = 0 * t + (1/2) * 32 * t^2

70 = (1/2) * 32 * t^2

70 = 16t^2

16t^2 = 70

t^2 = 4.375

t = sqrt(4.375)

t = 2.091650066

So, it will take the toy about 2.09 seconds to hit the ground.

Hope this helps!

What is x-intercept of the line with the equation 4×+2y=12?
Julli [10]
The X-intercept is a point where the line crosses the X lines. That means it would be the point where Y=0. Then to find the X-intercept you only need to insert Y=0 into the equation. The calculation would be:

<span> 4×+2y=12
4X+ 2 (0)= 12
4X =12
X=12/4 = 3</span>

At Luther's party she made three balloon poodles and two balloon giraffes Which used a total of 17 balloons for Jessica‘s party
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The redaction does not explain the situation.  If we assume that 15 balloons were used to make one ballon poodle and three giraffes, then the answer would be 7,5 balloons for 1 poodle, and 2,5 balloons for a giraffe

Step-by-step explanation:

With 15 balloons we make 1 poodle and 3 giraffes.  This means that 7,5 balloons were used to make 1 poodle, and other 7,5 balloons were used to make 3 giraffes.

If we divide   7,5 balloons between 3, we obtain 2,5.  This means that with 2,5 balloons we make 1 giraffe

Which graph represents the sequence: 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8...?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The graph represents the sequence is Option D.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A function defined in the set of natural numbers is called a sequence.

Allow \boxed{a_n \ as \ n^{th} \ term}, or general term.

In a sequence, n should always represent a natural number, i.e.,

n > 0, n = 1, 2, 3, ...,

but the value of \boxed{a_n} may be any real number depending on the formula for the general term of the sequence.

A sequence is considered geometric if the ratio between each consecutive term is common.  

In our problem, the sequence is \boxed{ \ \frac{1}{2}, 1, 2, 4, 8, ... \ }

The ratio of each term \boxed{a_{n+1}} to the previous term \boxed{a_n} is equal 2, so we can formalize the sequence as

\boxed{\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} =2}.

The consecutive terms of the sequence have a common ratio r = 2, so this sequence is geometric.

The general term of a geometric sequence \boxed{a_n} with common ratio r is \boxed{\boxed{ \ a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1} \ }}.

Presently we go back to the question. The graph shows the horizontal axis as n and the vertical axis is the general term \boxed{a_n}. The relationship between n, the terms, and the coordinates as written below:

\boxed{n = 1 \rightarrow the \ 1st \ term \ a_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rightarrow \bigg( 1, \frac{1}{2} \bigg)}

\boxed{n = 2 \rightarrow the \ 2nd \ term \ a_2 = 1 \rightarrow (2, 1)}

\boxed{n = 3 \rightarrow the \ 3rd \ term \ a_3 = 2 \rightarrow (3, 2)}

\boxed{n = 4 \rightarrow the \ 4th \ term \ a_4 = 4 \rightarrow (4, 4)}

\boxed{n = 5 \rightarrow the \ 5th \ term \ a_5 = 8 \rightarrow (5, 8)}

Therefore, the graph representing the sequence is Option D.

<u>Note:</u>

  • The general term of a geometric sequence is exponential.
  • From the common ratio (r > 1) and graph, the type is an increasing sequence.

Does the graph above have an Hamiltonian circuit, Hamiltonian path, or neither? Paths and Circuits Help
Hatshy [7]

a. Only a Hamiltonian path

One such path is

1 → 2 → 0 → 4 → 3

which satisfies the requirement that each vertex is visited exactly once.

There is no Hamiltonian circuit, however, since it is impossible for any Hamiltonian path on this graph to visit vertex 0 exactly once.
