By definition, we have that the conversion of a US gallon to liters is given by:
1 liter = 3.78541 gallons
Therefore, we can apply the following rule of three:
1 liter ---------------------> 3.78541 gallons
5100 liters --------------> x
Clearing x we have:
$x = (5100) * (3.78541)

x = 19305.591$
two significant figures:
$x = 19000
$
Answer:
The lung capacity of the blue whale is:
$x = 19000 gallons$

Which point is in the solution set of the given system of inequalities?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

(1/5, 9/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the set of inequities

x+y>2..... 1

4x-y≥-1 .... 2

We are to get the solution point (x,y)

Solving simultaneously

From 1:

x>2-y

Substitute into 2

4(2-y)-y≥-1

4(2)-4y-y≥-1

8-5y≥-1

-5u ≥-1-8

-5y ≥-9

y≤9/5

Since x>2-y

x>2 - 9/5

x>1/5

Hence the required point is (x,y) = (1/5, 9/5)
