He uses 1/5 OF 5/6 of a yard. That "of" is very important, because it indicates that, to find the answer, you multiply the two together.
That being said (1/5) times (5/6) =5/30, which can be reduced to 1/6 yds to make the frame
12.75 - 11.25 = 1.50
11.25 - 9.75 = 1.50
there is a difference of $ 1.50 in allowance between brothers
that means the 7 yr old is gonna get : 9.75 - 1.50 = 8.25 <==
Answer:
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.
0 = (-2/5)*x + 18
(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
Up to and after 45 minutes, the barrel is empty of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
#2.)
minutes: 5, 10, 15, 20
water(gal): 16, 14, 12, 10
Find slope: slope m = (14 - 16)/(10 - 5) = -2/5
y - 10 = (-2/5)*(x - 20)
y - 10 = (-2/5)* x + 8
y = (-2/5)*x + 18
rate of change slope means that for every minute 2/5 gallons of water is lost
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.

(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
