A 50% chance. Because 2 of the bottles are 16, and two are 12, that means 2 of the 4 bottles were options, 2/4 = 50 :)
Answer:
x cannot equal -3 because if -3 is plugged in for x, there will be a zero in the denominator and you cannot divide by 0
Step-by-step explanation:
if one pump = x
the other pump = 2x
therefore
x + 2x = 8 minutes
3x = 8 minutes
Divide through by 3
x = 8/3 minutes
converting it to seconds
x = 8/3 * 60
x = 160 seconds
therefore
the first pump = 2x = 2 * 160 = 320 seconds
the second pump = x = 160 seconds
What do you mean by “rates” ?
Distance to the cabin is 'D' .
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance going = 30 H
Distance coming back = 36 (H - 1)
Distance is the same in both directions.
30H = 36(H - 1)
Eliminate parentheses: 30H = 36H - 36
Add 36 to each side: 30H + 36 = 36H
Subtract 30H from each side: 36 = 6H
Divide each side by 6 : 6 = H
It took 6 hours to go, 5 hours to come back,
and the trip was 180 miles each way.
6 x 30 = 180
5 x 36 = 180 yay !
Notice that 180 is the least common multiple (LCM)
of 30 and 36 . I'll bet that could have helped us if
we were all wide awake when we read the question.
