Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of paint used = (2/3) of (1/2)

$=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}$

Quantity left in the can = $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}$

$= \frac{1*3}{2*3}-\frac{1*2}{3*2}\\\\=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{6}$

A roller coaster has four cars each with the same number of seats. these are 21 passengers seated in the roller coaster, but 3 s

belka [17]

Given:

Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21

Empty seats = 3

Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)

To find:

An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.

Solution:

Let s be the number of seats in each car.

Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s

Using the given information,

Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats

= 21 + 3

= 24

Now, the required equation is

$4s=24$

Therefore, the required equation is $4s=24$ .

Divide both sides by 4.

$s=\dfrac{24}{4}$

$s=6$

Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.

one tank is filling at a rate of 3/4 per gallon per 2/3 minute .a second tank is at a 5/8 gallon per 1 half gallon per 1/2 minut

Bingel [31]

$recall\ that\implies \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{\frac{3g}{4}}{\frac{2m}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}
\\-------------\\
\cfrac{\frac{5g}{8}}{\frac{1m}{2}}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}$

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?
