Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that 40 minutes = 8 gallons filled up. We have another equation, v=2.5t, that includes time and volume. If we can make the first equation in terms of time, we can figure out the relative speeds of water entering/exiting the bathtub.

To make 40 minutes = 8 gallons in terms of t, or minutes, we can divide both sides by 8 to get

5 minutes = 1 gallon

5t = v

Therefore, for water entering the tub, we get

5t = v, and for water draining out, we get

2.5t = v

As the time is always positive, the water entering the tub (5t) will always be greater than the water exiting the tub. Therefore, as more water goes in than out, the tub will gradually increase in water level and will eventually overflow

It takes omar four minutes to eat eight carrots sticks. how long does it take him to eat one ?
astra-53 [7]
It takes Omar 30 seconds to eat one considering he ate 8 in 4 minutes ...

If we really wanted to we could turn this into the fraction 8/4
8 being the amount of carrot sticks he ate and 4 being the time it took
now all u have to do is simplify that turns into 2/1 and since the 1 is one minute and her can eat 2 in one minute we can safely say he eats 1 carrot stick every 30 seconds 

:) hope this helps!!

the radius of a gold atom is 1.35 angstroms. how many gold atoms would it take to line up a span of 8.5 mm?
serg [7]
The angstrom<span>, also known as the </span>angstrom<span> unit, is a measure of displacement equal to 0.0000000001 meter (10 -10 m). It would be helpful to convert the units of angstrom to mm. We do as follows:

diameter = 2 x 1.35 x10^ -10 m ( 1000 mm / 1 m ) = 2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom

Number of gold atoms = 8.5 mm / </span>2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom = 31481481481.481 atoms

Use the context of a 24-pack of soda to explain why 3/8 is NOT equivalent to 5/12 . Answer in number of cans.
juin [17]

Answer:

In a 24 pack of soda, 1/8 would be 3 cans (24/8 = 3). 1/12 would be 2 cans (24/12=2).

So 3/8 is 9 cans of soda and 5/12 is 10 cans of soda, so they are not equivalent because the number of soda cans is not the same.
