How am I supposed to answer this question if it doesn't tell me how many gallons the energy-saving showerhead uses compared to t

he regular one?
A standard showerhead in Jen's house dispenses 5 gallons of water per minute. Jen changed this showerhead to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new showerhead.

y = 3x

How much water does Jen save each day with the change in showerheads if she uses the shower for 8 minutes each day?

16 gallons
17 gallons
32 gallons
37 gallons

Answer:

A, or 16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to analyze what the function means. It tells you that x is the number of minutes in the shower, so now we have y=3(minutes in shower). Logically, 3 has to be gallons per minute so that the equation makes sense, since you're multiplying 3 by minutes in the shower. It also uses the same phrasing in the beginning of the problem when it says "A standard shower head in Jen's house dispenses 5 gallons of water per minute." Now, it's 3 gallons of water per minute (x). That means y has to be overall gallons. So, now the equations is overall gallons=3 gallons per minute. If she uses the shower for 8 minutes we can plug in for x. So now the equation is overall gallons=3 gallons times 8 minutes, or overall gallons=24 gallons. With the new shower head, 24 gallons is used. Now to find for the old shower head. 5 gallons per minute times 8 minutes = 40 gallons. Now we subtract to find out how many gallons Jen saves each day. 40-24=16. She saves 16 gallons.

Mrs. Jacobs is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips. The cookies have chocolate chips and pea
WARRIOR [948]

The ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Jacob is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips

Let "c" be the ounces of chocolate chips

Let "p" be the ounces of peanut butter chips

To find: ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob

Given that There are 5 times as many ounces of chocolate chips as peanut butter chips

<em><u>Thus we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

ounces of chocolate chips = 5 x ounces of peanut butter chips

c = 5p -------- eqn 1

Jacob used 84 total ounces of chip. Therefore,

ounces of chocolate chips + ounces of peanut butter chips = 84

c + p = 84 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

5p + p = 84

6p = 84

<h3>p = 14</h3>

Substitute p = 14 in eqn 1

c = 5(14) = 70

<h3>c = 70</h3>

Thus the ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

HELPP! ASAP PLS!! Find the surface area of the composite solid. Leave your answer in exact terms.
Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the surface area of the clyinder and find the area circles and subtract

Then find the surface area of a cone, remove the circle area and double it.

Clyinder surface area (without circle area) 2πrh+2πr2=2·π·4·6+2·π·42≈251.32741

251.32741 - 50.2 - 50.2

Cone area: A=πr(r+h2+r2)=π·4·(4+32+42)≈113.09734

113.09734 - 50.2 - 50.2

Total: 12.69734 + 150.92741 = 163.62475
