Answer:

8gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe drinks 10 liters of water every week, then;

10liters = 1 week

After 3weeks;

x litres =3 weeks

Divide both expressions

10/x = 1/3

x = 3*10

x = 30litres

This means he consumes 30litres in 3 weeks

If there are approximately 19 liters in 5 gallons, the;

19litres = 5gallons

To determine the number of gallons consumed in 3 weeks;

30litres = y

Divide both expressions

19/30 = 5/y

Cross multiply

19 * y = 30*5

19y = 150

y = 150/19

y = 7.89

y ≈ 8 (to nearest whole number)

Hence Joe drinks 8gallons of water in 3weeks

Suppose 80% of people enjoy swimming. Suppose 70% of people enjoy running.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we can apply a formula that tells us that:  

# (AUB) = #A + #B - #AnB  

Where A would be the ones who enjoy swimming and B would be the ones who enjoy running. AnB is the intersection of both sets, that is, those who enjoy doing both things, these values we have, if we replace them we have left:

#(AUB) = 80% + 70% - 55%

#(AUB) = 95%

Which means that 95% of people enjoy either swimming or running
