The garden hose at Andre's house can fill a 5-gallon bucket in 2 minutes. The hose at his next-door neighbor's house can fill a

10-gallon bucket in 8 minutes. If they use both their garden hoses at the same time, and the hoses continue working at the same rate they did when filling a bucket, how long will it take to fill a 750-gallon pool?

Answer:

The time it would take them to fill 750 gallons

= 200 minutes or 3 hours 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

We calculate the rate at which the hoses fill for Andre and His neighbor

For Andre

The garden hose at Andre's house can fill a 5-gallon bucket in 2 minutes.

The rate is calculated as:

5 gallon/2 minutes

= 2.5 gallons/minute

For His neighbor

The hose at his next-door neighbor's house can fill a 10-gallon bucket in 8

minutes.

= 10 gallon/8 minutes

= 1.25 gallon/minute

Step 2

Hence:

If they use both their garden hoses at the same time, and the hoses continue working at the same rate, the sum of their rate =

2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 gallons per minute.

Step 3

The time it would take them to fill 750 gallons =

750 gallons ÷ 3.75 gallons per minute

= 200 minutes

= 3 hours 20 minutes

This is my last question I need help with.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of constant porpotionality is

y = kx

or

y =  \frac{k}{x}

where k is the constant of porpotionality.

This equation is direct variation so we will use

y = kx

The equation is in the form

y = 1.5x

1.5 is in k place so the constant of porpotionality is 1.5

Which equation is in slope-intercept form and represents a line with slope 0 through the point (2, 3)?
alexandr1967 [171]
I think it would be b) because you're given a slope of 0, so that leaves you with
y=0x+b
, resulting into this
y=b
You'd be just left with a continuous horizontal line going through the y-axis of 3 since you're passing the point (2,3), where 3 represents the y-value when your slope is at 0.
