Answer:

40! Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for After how many seconds will the two fish tanks have the same amount of water

First step

Based on the information given let the equation be :

150-1/2x=120+1/4x

Second step

Now let solve for x which means that x will be the number of second by multiplying both side by 4

4(150-1/2x)=4(120+1/4x)

=600-2x=480+x

Third step

Let Add 2x on both side

600=480+3x

Third step

Let Subtract 480 on both side

600-480=480-480+3x

120=3x

Last step is to divide both side by 3

120/3=3x/3

40=x

Hence:

x=40 seconds

Therefore After 40 seconds the two fish tanks will have the same amount of water.

The total number of terra-cotta tiles needed is 220 tiles.

The total number of blue tiles needed is 4428 tiles.

The cost of all the tiles would be  $3,092.60.

<h3>What is the total number of tiles needed?</h3>

The first step is to determine the area of the entryway and the kitchen.

Area of the entryway = length x width

(22 - 18) x 10 = 40 ft²

Area of the kitchen = 10 x 18 = 180ft²

Sum of the areas of the entryway and the kitchen = 180 + 40 = 220 ft² = 220 tiles

Total cost = 220 x $5 = $1100

Areas of the bathroom floors = (10 x 6) + (7 x 9) = 123ft²

Convert ft² to in²

1 ft² = 144in²

123 x 144 = 17,712 in²

Number of tiles needed = 17,712 / 4 = 4428 tiles

Total cost = 4428 x 0.45 = $1992.60

Total cost = $1992.60 + $1100 = $3,092.60

Here is the complete question:  Dareen's family now wants to Install 1-foot-square terra-cotta tiles in the entryway and kitchen, and 4-inch-square blue tiles on each bathroom floor. The

terra-cotta tiles cost $5 each, and the bathroom tiles cost 45€ cach. How many of each kind will they need? What will all the tiles cost?
