Answer:

≈9.64 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can figure out how many quarts are in a minute and use that to figure out how many quarts are in an hour. Then, we can convert quarts to gallons.

4.5 quarts = 7 minutes

First, we can find how many quarts equal 1 minute. To do this, we can divide both sides by 7 because anything divided by itself equals 1

4.5/7 quarts = 1 minute

Next, we want to figure out how many quarts go into 60 minutes, or 1 hour. To do this, we can multiply both sides by 60 because 1 * 60 = 60

4.5 * 60 / 7 quarts = 60 minutes = 1 hour

We now know how many quarts are in an hour, so we can now convert quarts to gallons

4 quarts = 1 gallon

divide both sides by 4

1 quart = 1/4 gallons

To get from quarts to gallons, we can divide by 4, so we have

(4.5 * 60 / 7)/4 = 4.5 * 60 / 28

≈9.64 gallons

Does 2, 5, and 7 make a right triangle
MakcuM [25]

Answer:  No, we don't have a right triangle

==========================================================

Explanation:

If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.

Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.

So...

a^2+b^2 = c^2

2^2+5^2 = 7^2

4+25 = 49

29 = 49

The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.

------------

In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle

a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).

Before 1918, approximately 40% of the wolves in a region were male, and 60% were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area h
Goshia [24]

Answer:

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0548

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

We are told that Before 1918;

P(male) = 40% = 0.4

P(female) = 60% = 0.6

n = 10

Thus;probability that 7 or more were male is;

P(≥ 7 males) = P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

Now, binomial probability formula is;

P(x) = [n!/((n - x)! × x!)] × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

Now, p = 0.4 and q = 0.6.

Also, n = 10

Thus;

P(7) = [10!/((10 - 7)! × 7!)] × 0.4^(7) × 0.6^(10 - 7)

P(7) = 0.0425

P(8) = [10!/((10 - 8)! × 8!)] × 0.4^(8) × 0.6^(10 - 8)

P(8) = 0.0106

P(9) = [10!/((10 - 9)! × 9!)] × 0.4^(9) × 0.6^(10 - 9)

P(9) = 0.0016

P(10) = [10!/((10 - 10)! × 10!)] × 0.4^(10) × 0.6^(10 - 10)

P(10) = 0.0001

Thus;

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0425 + 0.0106 + 0.0016 + 0.0001 = 0.0548

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x^2-12x-11=3*x^2-3*2*2*x+3*4-23=3*(x^2-2*2x+2^2)-23=3*(x-2)^2-23

so  a= -2 ,b= -23

b) x1=[12+V(12^2-4*3* -11)]/6=12/6+V(144+132)/6=2+2/6V69=2+1/3V69=

2+V69/9=2+V23/3
