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.

Trisha needs to make at least 50 gift bags for an event. Each gift bag will contain at least 1 thumb drive or 1 key chain. She w
Anon25 [30]
There will be 50 gift bags.

The first set of 25 bags
----------------------------------
Because there are 25 thumb drives, the first 25 bags will each have 1 thumb drive.
Also, each bag will have 5 times as many key chains as a thumb drive. Therefore each of the first 25 bags will have 
1 thumb drive, 5 key chains.

After the first 25 bags, we have used
25 thumb drives, 5*25 = 125 key chains.

The second set of 25 bags
----------------------------------------
We have a total of 200 key chains, so we have 200-125 = 75 key chains left.
Distribute them equally among the remaining 25 bags, so each bag has
75/25 = 3 key chains.

Answer:
25 bags, each with 1 thumb drive and 5 key chains.
Another 25 bags, each with 3 key chains.
