90 + 20x + 10x = 180
30x = 90
x = 3
Answer:
<u>The rate the swimming pool is filled is 9 gallons of water per minute</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's review the information provided by Ronald to us to help him to find the answer to the question:
Time it takes to fill the swimming pool = 8 minutes
Amount of water the swimming pool can hold = 72 gallons
2. At what rate does the swimming pool fill, in gallons per minute?
Rate the swimming pool is filled = Amount of water the swimming pool can hold /Time it takes to fill the swimming pool
Replacing with the real values, we have:
Rate the swimming pool is filled = 72/8 = 9 gallons of water per minute
Answer:
X = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-7(x-5)=91
x-5=-13
x=-13+5
x=-8
18.66 quarts of paint is needed to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism</u></em>
Length = 20 feet
Width = 10 feet
Height = 5 feet
<em><u>Find the surface area of prism</u></em>

Where, "l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height

Thus surface area area of prism is 700 square feet
Given that,
One quart of water-resistant paint covers 75 square feet
Therefore,
1 quart paint = 75 square feet
x quart = 700 square feet
This forms a proportion

Thus 9.33 quarts of paint is needed to cover 700 square feet
How many quarts should you buy to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint
For two coats of paint we need = 9.33 + 9.33 = 18.66 quarts of paint
