The flow rate is 2 quarts per minute. There are 4 quarts in a US gallon, so 2 quarts divide 4 quarts per US gallon = 0.5 gallons per minute There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the flow rate is 0.5 gallons per minute divide 60 seconds per minute = 0.0083 gallons per second
Solutions
1) <span>Lets use n as alex's number
</span>⇒ n x 1000
⇒ n ÷ 10
⇒ = 475
To solve the problem do the opposite steps
475 ÷ 1000 = n
n = <span>0.475
</span>
0.475 x 10 = n
n = 4.75
CHECK YOUR WORK
4.75 x 1000 = 4750
4750 ÷ 10 = 475
The answer is correct
⇒ The answer Alex is thinking of is 4.75
Explanation:
The equation of comet E is given below as

The equation of comet H is modelled below as

Given, that the Sun is located at the origin.
This is an equation of an ellipse. So, the path traveled by Comet e is an elliptic path.
Comparing with the Standard equation of ellipse: below,we will have

Whise center is

By comparing coefficient, we will have

Hence,
The vertex of comet E will be

The vertex of comet E is

Part C:
It is the foci forboth comets

Hence,
The foci will be
