Titus works at a hotel. Part of his job is to keep the complimentary pitcher of water at least half full and always with ice. Wh

en he starts his shift, the water level shows 8 gallons, or 128 cups of water. As the shift progresses, he records the level of the water every 10 minutes. After 2 hours, he uses a regression calculator to compute an equation for the decrease in water. His equation is W –0.414t + 129.549, where t is the number of minutes and W is the level of water. According to the equation, after about how many minutes would the water level be less than or equal to 64 cups?

Answer:

t ≥ 158.33, or rounded, t ≥ 160.

Explanation:

The equation we're given is

W = -0.414t + 129.549, which an be written as

-0.414t + 129.549 = W.

We are asked to find the amount of time it would take for the water level to be less than or equal to 64 cups.  Plugging this information in, we have:

-0.414t + 129.549 ≤ 64

To solve this, we first cancel 129.549 by subtracting from both sides:

-0.414t + 129.549 - 129.549 ≤ 64 - 129.549

-0.414t ≤ -65.549

Now divide both sides by -0.414:

-0.414t/-0.414 ≤ -65.549/-0.414

t ≥ 158.33

(When we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must flip the inequality symbol)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are looking for how long it will take the level to be less than or equal to 64 cups, we are solving an inequality as opposed to an equation. It would look like this:

-.414t + 129.549 ≤ 64  We subtract 129.549 from both sides to get

-.414t ≤ -65.549 and then divide by -.414. But because we are dividing by a negative number we need to change the way the inequality is pointing:

t ≥ 158.3 minutes which is about 2.6 hours

The hare leaps 500 centimeters every 20 seconds. the tortoise crawls 250 centimeters every 50 seconds, but gets a 1000‑centimete
Akimi4 [234]
Time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be found as follows:
time taken=distance/(relative speed)
relative speed=(speed of hare-speed of tortoise)
speed of hare=500/20=25 cm/sec
speed of tortoise=250/50=5 cm/sec
relative speed will be:
(25-5)=20 cm/ sec
thus the total time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be:
1000/20
=50 sec

Answer: 50 sec

12% of 72 is what number ?
valina [46]
The best thing to do here is to find 1%, then multiply this by 12.
72/100= 0.72
0.72*12= 8.64
Therefore, 12% of 72 is 8.64
Hope this helps :)
