Answer:

20 = 4n

n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of gifts Keiko wrapped = 20

Let number of gifts wrapped by Henry = n

Keiko wrapped 4 times as many gifts as Henry

Hence,

20 = 4n

The equation that relates the number of gifts wrapped is :

20 = 4n

To obtain n ;

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate n

20/ 4 = 4n / 4

5 = n

Hence,

n = 5

Donovan took a math test and got 20 correct questions and 5 incorrect answers. What was the percentage of correct answers?

solong [7]

ANSWER

80%

EXPLANATION

Donovan got 20 questions correct and 5 questions incorrect.

This means that the total number of questions he attempted in the test is the sum of correct and incorrect questions:

Total = 20 + 5

Total = 25

To find the percentage of correct answers, we have to divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions attempted and multiply by 100 (per cent).

That is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{20}{25}\cdot\text{ 100 = }\frac{4}{5}\cdot\text{ 100} \\ =\text{ 80\%} \end{gathered}$

That is the percentage of correct answers.

The gas tank on the back of a tanker truck can be equated to a cylinder with a diameter of 8 feet and a length of 19 feet. A gal

Answer:

driver's tank: 30,427 lb
farmer's tank: 12,811 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

V = πr^2·h . . . radius r, height h

The radius of the driver's tank is half its diameter, so is (8 ft)/2 = 4 ft. Then the volume of that tank is ...

V = π(4 ft)^2·(19 ft) = 304π ft^3

Each cubic foot of gasoline has a mass of ...

(1728 in^3/ft^3)(0.0262 lb/in^3) = 45.2736 lb/ft^3

Then the total mass in the driver's full tank is ...

(304π ft^3)(45.2736 lb/ft^3) ≈ 43,238.3 lb

The farmer's tank is a scaled-down version of the driver's tank. It's volume will be scaled by the cube of the linear scale factor, so will be (2/3)^3 = 8/27 of the volume of the driver's tank.

The farmer's tank will hold a mass of (43,238.3 lb)(8/27) ≈ 12,811 lb.

The amount remaining in the driver's tank is 43,238 -12,811 = 30,427 lb.

We probably couldn't go to all the stars because they're too far away. It would take a long time to get there.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Contain generalizations and contractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A generalization occurs when a specific idea is applied to a general category, in simple terms it occurs if a person states something always occur because this person saw it once. In this case, generalization occurs as this person affirms all stars are too far away and thus it will take a long time to get to those stars, however not all stars are as far away as this person believes and this does not mean it will take a long time to get there as new technology can be created, thus, this statement is not true and need revision. On the other hand, contractions refers to the process of shortening words by putting them together, this can be seen in "couldn't" ( could + not) and "they're" (they + are), contradictions are not correct as they should not be used in formal language and be avoided, thus, contradictions also need to be revised.
