Step-by-step explanation:
"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:
V - 200.
"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:
3/7(V)
Therefore, the equation is
V - 200 = 3/7(V)
Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:
7(V - 200) = 3V and
7V - 1400 = 3V so
-1400 = -4V so
V = 350 gallons
That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.
For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:
V - 200 = 1/2(V)
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you
2(V - 200) = V and
2V - 400 = V so
-400 = -V so
V = 400
90. To get to this answer, you would multiply 6 X 10 and 3 X 10. You would then add the products: 60 + 30 = 90.
I think your answer is going to be 23
An estimate for the number of ducks would be 62.
There were 30 the first day.
The second day, 8 of those 30 were there as well, so we subtract that from the 40 ducks and get 32.
Add 30 and 32 to get our estimate.
