- <em>It takes</em><u> 2.5 minutes </u><em>to fill the tank.</em>
Explanation:
The net speed or net rate for filling the 10-liters tank is equal to the speed the tap is filling less the speed the water is leaking through the hole located at the bottom of the tank:
- Net rate = rate of filling - rate of leaking
- Net rate = 5 liters/minute - 1 liter/minute
- Net rate = 4 liters/minute
Thus, consiedering the tank is empty at the beginning, the time is:
- Time = Volume of the tank / net rate of filling
- Time = 10 liters / (4liters/minute)
- Time = 2.5 minutes ← answer
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Dave makes $350
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
In order to find this answer, we must first establish the equation for his earnings.
<u>We use slope intercept form:</u>
y = mx + b,
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
Since the problem states that his commission percentage is the slope and his base salary is the y-intercept, we can use them in the equation <u>to get the following: </u>
y = 0.1x + 200.
Now knowing that the x is the amount he sells, we can use the $1500 as x to find his total pay for the week:.
y = 0.1(1500) + 200,
y = 150 + 200,
y = 350. </span>
We are given with three lengths of a triangle expressed in terms and variables: (3x – 4) feet, (x^2 – 1) feet, and (2x^2 – 15) feet. The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the three sides of the triangle. In this case, the sum is 3x^2 + 3x -20. When x is equal to 4, we substitute <span>3*16 + 3*4 -20 equal to 40 feet.</span>
