A tank that holds 6000 gallons of water may be filled by two pipes. One pipe pours water into the tank at the rate of 80 gallons

per minute. The other fills the tank at the rate of 120 gallons per minute.
(a) If the pipes run simultaneously, how long will it take to fill the tank?

(b) The small pipe is opened and water is run into the tank for a certain length of time. Then this pipe is shut off and the large one is used to finish filling the tank. How long was each pipe used if it took 60 minutes to fill the tank?

(c) The large pipe alone is opened for a certain time and then both pipes together are used to finish filling the tank. If it takes 34 minutes to fill the tank in this manner, how long was the small pipe used?

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Working together the rate is 80 + 120 = 200 gallons per minute.

(a) Time to fill tank = 6000 / 200 = 30 minutes.

(b) Let length of time the small pipe was used be x minutes , the the large pipe was used for is 60-x minutes.

Volume delivered by small pipe = y gallons, and by large pipe =  6000-y gallons.

Rate for small pipe = 80 = y/x.

Rate for large pipe = 120 = (6000-y) / 60-x.

y/x = 80

(6000-y) / 60-x = 120

From first equation y = 80x so:

6000 - 80 x =  7200  - 120x

40x = 1200

x = 30

So time for small pipe = 30 and time for large on = 30 minutes also.

C. In a similar way to part B:

y/x = 120  

(6000-y) / 34 - x = 200

(6000-120x) / 34 - x = 200

6000 - 120x = 6800 - 200x

80x = 800  so the large pipe on its own took 10 minutes and the small pipe was used for 34 - 10 = 24 minutes.

Find the service area of a cylinder with a base diameter of 6ft and height of 4ft
tatiyna

The service area of the cylinder is 42\pi square fts.

<h3>What is cylinder?</h3>

Two parallel bases joined by a curving surface make up the three-dimensional solid known as a cylinder.

Typically, the bases are shaped like circles. The height "h" of the cylinder stands for the perpendicular distance between the bases, while "r" stands for the cylinder's radius.

The uses of cylinder are-

  • A popular piece of scientific equipment used to determine the volume of a liquid is a graduated cylinder, sometimes referred to as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder.
  • Its form is slender and cylindrical. The measured amount of liquid is shown by each marked line on the graduated cylinder.

Total surface area of the cylinder formula:

It is the sum of the base surface area and the lateral surface area;

Total area = base area + lateral area , or

Total area = 2 π r² + (2 π r) h , or

Total area = 2 π r (r + h)

Calculation for the total area of the cylinder;

Base diameter is 6 ft

Radius is 6/2 = 3 ft

Height is 4 ft

Total area = 2\pi3(3 + 4)

                 = 6\pi×7

                 = 42\pi

Therefore, the total surface area of the cylinder is 42\pi square fts.

If the circumference of a circle measures 12π cm, what is the area of the circle in terms of π?
frez [133]
So the formula for the circumference of a circle is π x diameter
Since we know the the circumference already, we just divide that by π:

12π / π = 12

Now we halve the diameter to get the radius:
12 / 2 = 6 

The area of a circle is π x radius²
So the area is:

·π x 6² = 36π·  (or 113 not in terms of π)

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I believe that it's A neither, because I don't think that it could be displayed on a coordinate graph when it has an exponent in it. So I think it's A. Let me know if I'm correct. ;-)

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost $.17 a minute using this card when do use her card. Linda
balandron [24]

Answer: her call lasted for 44 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. This means that the credit on her card is $30.

Long distance calls cost $0.17 each. Linda use her card only to make a long distance call. Assuming she made a total of x minutes of long distance calls, the cost would be $0.17x. The amount remaining on her card will be

30 - 0.17x

if the remaining credit on her card is $22.52, the number of minutes,x that the call lasted will be

22.52 = 30 - 0.17x

0.17x = 30 - 22.52

0.17x = 7.48

x = 7.48/0.17 = 44
