Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of

             water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes

             down by 20 cm in the first 30 min.

To find - Work put how many minutes Colin has to wait for the pond

               to completely empty.

Proof -

Given that,

Height of prism = 1 m

Also,

Base of the prism is trapezium and

Sides of the trapezium are 0.6 m and 1.4 m

Height of trapezium is 2 m

We know that,

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2}× (sum of sides)× height

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (0.6 + 1.4)× 2

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (2)× 2

                             =  2 m²

⇒Area of trapezium = 2 m²

Now,

Volume of prism = Area of trapezium × height of prism

                          = 2 m² × 1 m

                          = 2 m³

⇒Volume of prism = 2 m³

Now,

Given that the level goes down by 20 cm in the first 30 min

We know

100 cm = 1 m

⇒1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m = 0.01 m

⇒20 cm = 20×0.01 m = 0.2 m

⇒The level goes down by 0.2 m in the first 30 min.

Also,

we know that height of water = height of prism = 1 m

So, the remaining water left in the pond = 1 m - 0.2 m = 0.8 m

Also,

Volume of Remaining water = Area of trapezium × height

                                           = 2 m² × 0.8 m

                                           = 1.6 m³

⇒Volume of Remaining water = 1.6 m³

Now,

Volume of emptied water = Total Volume - Volume of Remaining water

                                       = 2 m³ - 1.6 m³

                                       = 0.4 m³

⇒Volume of emptied water = 0.4 m³

Now,

0.4 m³ water will be empty in 30 minutes

⇒ 1 m³ water will be empty in \frac{30}{0.4} = 75 minutes

⇒1.6 m³ water will be empty in 1.6 × 75 = 120 minutes

∴ we get

The remaining water is empty in 120 minutes

So,

Total pond is empty in 120 + 30 minutes

⇒Total pond is empty in 150 minutes

jenny is comparing the cost of two packages of socks. one package has 8 pairs for $12. Another package has 3 for $6. Are the rat
Ainat [17]
In order to solve this we need to make on part of both statements equal.

Since 12 is divisible by 6 lets do that.

Multiply everything in the second package by 2.

It then becomes 6 pairs for $12.

So now  have have 6 or 8 pairs for $12.

You are getting a different amount for the same price therefore they are not proportional.

Charlotte reads 8 1/3 pages of a book of in 10 minutes. What is her average reading rate in pages per minute?
shtirl [24]

The answer as a fraction is 5/6

We want to figure out how many pages Charlotte can read in 1 minute. Since we know how many pages she can read in 10 minutes, in order to find out how many she reads in 1 minute, simply do 10 divided by 8 1/3. Which will give you your answer, 5/6.
