A water container is 1/8 full. 35 litres if water are now poured into the container. The container is now 1/4 full.

Mathematics

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>The container can hold 280 liters of water.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The water originally fills 1/8 of a container. Then 35 lt of water are poured into the container and now it's 1/4 full.

If we subtract the final portion of the tank minus the original portion of the container, we obtain the portion that was poured into.

\mathrm{Portion\ poured }=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{8}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}

If 35 liters of water is 1/8 of the tank, then it can hold 35*8 = 280 liters.

The container can hold 280 liters of water.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

22% reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percent decrease by dividing the difference in amounts by the original amount.

Find the difference:

115 - 90 = 25

Divide this by the original amount:

25/115

= 0.217

So, the percent decrease is 21.7%. Round this to the nearest whole percentage:

= 22

The percent reduction in fuel used was approx. 22%

If the legs are legnth x, then the hyptonuse is x√2

x√2=7
divide both sides by √2

Convert 150 base 10 to a binary <br>number.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

10010110

Step-by-step explanation:

A binary number is basically a number in base 2. So, each place represents a power of two. The ones place represents 1 or 2^0, the tens represents 2 or 2^1, the hundreds represents 4 or 2^2 and so on. To find the highest place needed to make in the number in binary, we find the greatest power of two that is below 150. In this case, it is 128. We can start by writing 128 in binary:

10000000

Now, we subtract 128 from 150 and find the largest power of two that is smaller than the difference. The largest power of 2 smaller than 22 is 16, so we put a one in the place for 2^4:

10010000

We can subtract 16 from 22 to get what is leftover to continue the process. We get 6, and the largest power of 2 smaller is 4. We can place a one in the hundreds place to represent it:

10010100

What is left is 6-4 or 2, which is just 2^1, so we can place it in the tens place:

10010110
