Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount in the glass after m minutes can be described by ...
a = 4 + 3/2m
We want to find m when a=16, so ...
16 = 4 + 3/2m
12 = 3/2m . . . . . subtract 4
8 = m . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/3
It will take 8 minutes to fill the glass.
Answer:
C. 7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time for the trip out be represented by t. Then the time for the return trip is t-1. The distance was the same for both trips, so we have ...
distance = speed × time
300t = 350(t -1)
300t = 350t -350 . . . . eliminate parentheses
350 = 50t . . . . . . . . . . add 350-300t
7 = t . . . . . . divide by 50
The trip out took 7 hours.
The answer to your question is 7a.
