Answer:

<em>It will take 12 hours to fill the tank</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Tap A fills a tank in 4 hours. It means each hour it fills 1/4 of the tank.

Tap B fills the tank in 3 hours. Each hour it fills 1/3 of the tank.

Tap C empties the tank when full in 2 hours. Each hour it empties 1/2 of the tank.

Each hour, the tank gets filled by:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\displaystyle \frac{3}{12}+\frac{4}{12}-\frac{6}{12}=\frac{3+4-6}{12}=\frac{1}{12}

Since the tank fills 1/12 of its capacity in one hour, it follows that it will take 12 hours to fill the tank

Anarel [89]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, price of individual child ticket is $x, and price of individual adult ticket is $y.

Now, on Friday we can write an equation is 55x+20y=200....(1).

and on Saturday we can write an equation is 72x+36y=306.....(2).

so, Equation 1: 55x+20y=200

 

Equation 2: 72x+36y=306

now, we are going to solve both equations.

after solving you will find x=2 and y=4.5

Hence, we can say that the cost of child ticket is $2, and the cost of adult ticket is $4.50.

A portion of a map with cities a and b is shown.The map uses a scale of 1 inch to 30 miles. A new map has a scale of 2 inches=15
Alina [70]

Answer:

22.5miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For Map 1;

1 inches = 30miles

For Map 2:

2 inches = 15miles

1 inches = x

2x = 1 *15

x = 15/2

x = 7.5miles

This means that 1 inch represents 7.5miles on Map 2'

The distance between the two cities in miles = 30miles - 7.5miles

The distance between the two cities (in miles) = 22.5miles
