Answer:

15 gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 3 miles per hour or 5 meter per seconds.

As per the statement:

It took Lou 2\frac{1}{2} gallons of paint to paint one fence.

\text{Unit rate per fence}= \frac{\text{Number of gallons of paint}}{\text{number of fences}}

Substitute the given value we have;

\text{Unit rate per fence}= \frac{\frac{5}{2} }{1} = \frac{5}{2} gallons.

We have to find how many gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

By definition of unit rate;

\text{Number of gallons to paint 6 fences}= \text{Unit rate per fence} \times 6

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Number of gallons to paint 6 fences}= \frac{5}{2} \times 6 = 5 \times 3 = 15

Therefore, 15 gallons to paint six fences that are small in size.

Solve the system of equations. x + 3y = −12x + 2y = 6
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

x=-3/19

y=39/19

Step-by-step explanation:

the equations can be written as the following system

x+3y=6\\-12x+2y=6

If the second equation is multiplied by 3/2 it will become -18x+3y=9

If that equation is then subtracted with the first you will obtain the following

-19x=3, it means x=-3/19

The other variable is obtained by substituting the new value for x in the first equationx+3y=6, thus we obtain that y=39/19

Help please alegra2
tatyana61 [14]
A = 1/2bh...multiply both sides by 2
2A = bh...divide both sides by b
(2A)/b = h

s = 1/2gt^2...multiply both sides by 2
2s = gt^2...divide both sides by t^2
(2s) / (t^2) = g

H = vt - 5t^2...add 5t^2 to both sides
H + 5t^2 = vt...divide both sides by t
(H + 5t^2) / t = v
