The gas tank on your lawn mower holds 1/8 gallon of fuel. You can mow 2 1/4 lawns with one tank of fuel. At this rate, how many

blagie [28]

At 1/8 of a gallon you can mow 2 1/4 so for 1 gallon just multiply 2 1/4 by 8
16+2 is 18

A report by the US Geological Survey indicates that glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana, are shrinking. Recent estimates

postnew [5]

Answer

a) C

b) B

c) C, E

d) 15.5

e) 0.7

f) 67.7

Step-by-step explanation

a) A linear equation can be written as $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the intercept on the $y$ -axis. The slope describes how $y$ changes when $x$ changes. A negative value means the it is a decreasing change. In our case, $y$ is $A$ and $x$ is $t$ . Thus, the slope of the equation is $m=-0.062$ . This means that the area of glacier is decreasing by $0.062 \text{km}{}^2 = 62000 \text{m}{}^2$ every year since 2000.

b) The $A$ -intercept (= 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ ) represents the area covered when $t=0$ . But $t=0$ starting from year 2000. This intercept then represents the area covered by glacier in the year 2000. Therefore, the area covered by glacier in 2000 was 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ .

c) $A=f(t)$ means the area covered after year 2000. Setting it to 12 means the area covered after $t$ years is 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ). $t$ is therefore the number of years since 2000 that the total area covered will be 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ).

d) $f(12)=16.2−0.062\times12 =16.2-0.744 = =15.456 15.5 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

e) The term involving $t$ represents the disappearing area. In 12 years, the disappeared area is $0.062\times12=0.744 =0.7 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

f) $f(t)=16.2−0.062t =12$

$0.062t = 16.2-12 = 4.2$

$t = \dfrac{4.2}{0.062}=67.7419\ldots =67.7$ years to 1 decimal place.

kelly is using a bucket to fill up a barrel with water from a well. The barrel holds 25.5 liters.the bucket holds 800 millileter

SVEN [57.7K]

To determine how much of the barrel is left to fill, you must subtract the amount of water already in it from the total mass of the bucket.

25.5 - 5.2 = 20.3 Litres

In order to the fill the entire barrel, Kelly must collect 20.3 Litres of water. You must then covert the measurement from litres to millilitres so that the bucket and barrel are measured in the same units.

20.3L = 20300mL

You must then divide the amount of space left by the mass of the bucket. This will determine the least number of buckets needed to fill the barrel.

20300 <span>÷ 800 = 25.375

That means the you would have to do a minimum on 25.375 buckets to fill the barrel, or 26.

Hope this helps :) </span>
