Answer:

<u>It'll</u><u> </u><u>take</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>minutes</u><u> </u><u>for</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>pipes</u><u>.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \sf{6 \: pipes = 120 \: mins}} \\ { \sf{5 \: pipes = ( \frac{6}{5}  \times 120) \: mins}} \\  \\  = { \sf{144 \: mins}}

but practically, it seems to be abnormal. if 6 pipes take 120 mins, 5 pipes must takes a time greater than 120 mins cause amount of water flowing to the tank is decreasing.

Answer:

144 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

here we use inverse proportion because the more pipes there are the less time is needed

the formula for inverse proportion is <em>y = k/x</em>

first we need to find <em>k</em> which is the constant

if <em>y</em> is the number of minutes and <em>x</em> is the number of pipes we can substitute these into the formula like so: 120 = <em>k</em>/6

to find <em>k</em> rearrange the formula to get <em>k</em> = 6 * 120 = 720

now that we have <em>k</em> we can substitute 720 (<em>k</em>) and 5 (<em>x</em>) into <em>y = k/x</em>

<em>y</em> = 720 / 5

<em>y</em> = 144

<em>(y</em> is the number of minutes in this case so the answer is 144 minutes)

After Lois picks a value for b, Clark must solve the equation 2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b.
puteri [66]

The value of b Lois gave to Clark to satisfy the given equation is -7.

The given parameters;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b

To obtain the value of b, simplify the equation as follows;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b

<em />

<em>collect similar terms together</em>

<em />

(2x - x) + 7 = (4x - 3x) + (2b - 3b)

x + 7 = x - b

(x - x) + 7 = -b

0 + 7 = -b

7 = -b

-7 = b

b = -7

Thus, the value of b Lois gave to Clark to satisfy the given equation is -7.

Use this graph of velocity vs. time for two objects to answer the question.
Lynna [10]

Using derivatives, it is found that the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

The acceleration is the <u>derivative of the velocity</u>, given by change in velocity divided by change in time, that is:

a = \frac{\Delta_v}{\Delta_t}

In this problem:

  • The change in time for objects C and T is the same.
  • The <u>change in velocity for object C is greater</u>, thus, it has a greater acceleration, and the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.
