Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be equal to the number that 24 is 120% of.

$x*1.2=24$

Divide both sides by 1.2 to isolate $x$

$\frac{x*1.2}{1.2} =\frac{24}{1.2}\\x=20$

Therefore, 24 is 120% of 20.

I hope this helps!

Determine whether this statement is true or false. if two lines have the same slope, their equations describe the same line.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say "slope", Im guessing your referring to the gradient (the steepness of the line).

If two lines have the same gradient their equations won't usually describe the same line because their 'y intercepts' will be different (the point in which the line crosses the y axis)

Comparing Leaking Pool Problem

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rates of change

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.

To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:

15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours

20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Now compute both rates of change:

Pool 1:

$\displaystyle ROC_1=\frac{2/3}{1/4}=\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.67\ gal/h$
