A tank and a pail contained a total of 962 ml of water. When 250 ml of water was poured from the pail to the tank, the amount of

Allisa [31]

By solving a system of equations, we will see that the pail originally contained 382.9 ml.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, we need to define the variables, we will use:

T = amount of water in the tank.
P = amount of water in the pail.

First, we know that the total amount of water is 962 ml, then we have:

P + T = 962 ml.

We also know that if we pour 250 ml from the pail to the tank, the amount of water in the tank will be 12 times the amount of water in the pail, this is written as:

T + 250ml = 12*(P - 250ml)

Then the system of equations is:

P + T = 962 ml

T + 250ml = 12*(P - 250ml)

To solve this, first, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate T in the first one:

T = 962 ml - P

Now we replace this into the other equation to get:

(962 ml - P) + 250ml = 12*(P - 250ml)

Now we can solve this for P.

962 ml + 250 ml - P = 12*P - 12*250 ml

1,212 ml - P = 12*P - 3,000 ml

1,212 ml + 3,000 ml = 12*P - P

(4,212 ml)/11 = P = 382.9 ml

So the pail originally contained 382.9 ml

Answer:

$2.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretend if Mr. Yasin didn't pay for the 3rd box, find out how much he had left after paying for the first 2 boxes.

9.43 - 3.99 - 2.97 = 2.47

Cora makes a scarf with cloth rectangles and triangles. For every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles. She needs 15 pieces of cl

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: There are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles

So, remaining piece will be of triangle so,

$5-2=3$

3 are triangles.

Ratio of rectangles to triangles is 2:3.

Now, she needs 15 pieces of cloth to complete her scarf,

So, Number of rectangles is needed is given by

$\frac{2}{5}\times 15\\\\=2\times 3\\\\=6$

Number of triangles is needed is given by

$\frac{3}{5}\times 15\\\\=3\times 3\\\\=9$

Hence, there are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.
