Answer: it will take 9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 18 inches
d = 1.5 inches
The expression becomes
Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30
Therefore,
30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18
1.5(n - 1) = 12
n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8
n = 8 + 1
n = 9
Day 3 is A because it tell how many pieces of candies eaten in a minute.
Day 4 is 10 and 15 because the ratios go in a pattern by 5
Day 5 is D but I really dont know that one
Answer:
5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
<span>truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if there are 14 boys to 9 girls in a class the ratio would be
14:9
