Answer:

The tank will empty in 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:

0.5 x X = 5

X = 5 / 0.5

X = 10

10 x 6 = 60

1 hour = 51 liters

1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5

2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34

2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5

3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17

3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5

4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0

Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.

I’m really struggling! Please help me!!
Andrew [12]

Answer:

8.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle, so we are able to use trigonometric functions. Relative to the angle of 37°, we have the opposite side which is 6 and the adjacent side which is x. The trig function that uses the opposite and adjacent is tangent(SohCahToa). We can set up the following equation:

tan(37) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tan(37) = \frac{6}{x}

tan(37) evaluates to about , so we can plug it in and solve for x:

0.7536 = \frac{6}{x} \\0.7536x = 6\\x = 7.962

To the nearest tenth, x rounds to 8.0.

How much is a 15-percent down payment on a purchase price of $205,000
Jet001 [13]
An item that costs $205000, when discounted 15 percent, will cost $174250. The easiest way of calculating discount is, in this case, to multiply the normal price $205000 by 15 then divide it by one hundred. So, the discount is equal to $30750. To calculate the sales price, simply deduct the discount of $30750 from the original price $205000 then get $174250 as the sales price. which mean is C

What is 7/10-1/2 for subtracting fractions
Charra [1.4K]
I'm guessing you mean to find the answer. So find a common denominator, which is 10. You can leave 7/10 alone. Now multiply by 5 on both the numerator and denominator of 1/2. It would be 5/10. Now subtract 7/10-5/10. The answer is 2/10. It can be simplified to 1/5. The answer now would be: 1/5
I hope this helps. :-)
