Answer:

85 parking spaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Parking spaces on floors :

Let first floor = x

Second floor = 2x

Third floor = 2x + 3

Total parking spaces = 428

THEREFORE ;

x + 2x + 2x + 3 = 428

5x + 3 = 428

5x = 428 - 3

5x = 425

x = 425 / 5

x = 85

Hence, there are 85 parking spaces on the first floor

Tank a has a capacity of 9.5 gallons. 6 1/3 gallons of the tank's water are poured out. how many gallons of water are left in th
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Water left in tank is 3\frac{1}{6} gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Capacity of tank = 9.5 gallons  =\frac{95}{10}

Water taken out of tank =6\frac{1}{3}=\frac{19}{3} gallons

We have to find the water left in the tank.

Water left in the tank = Total capacity of tank - water taken out of tank

                                    =\frac{95}{10}-\frac{19}{3}

Taking LCM of (3,10)= 30

\Rightarrow \frac{95 \times 3-19 \times10}{30}

Solving further, we get,

\Rightarrow \frac{285-190}{30}

\Rightarrow \frac{95}{30}=\frac{19}{6}=3\frac{1}{6}

Thus, Water left in tank is 3\frac{1}{6} gallons..

A person jogs 1/2 miles in 1/12 hours. The person's speed is how many miles per hour?
ipn [44]

Answer:

6 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

speed = 1/2÷1/12 which is the same as

1/2 x 12/1 = 6

6 miles per hour.

or ou could change the 1/2 to become 0.5

and the 1/12 to become 0.083333333

and divide 0.5 ÷ 0.083333333 = 6.000000024

rounded to one decima place become 6.0

6 miles per hour
