60% or 3/5 of the tank will be filled in an hour.

The pump will fill 2/5 of the tank in 2/3 hours.

In order to find out how much of the tank will be filled in an hour, use direct proportion and assume portion of the tank that will be filled up in an hour is x.

2/5 of tank : 2/3 hours

x of tank : 1 hour

Cross multiply to get:

2/3x = 2/5

x = 2/5 ÷ 2/3

x = 2/5 x 3/2

= 0.6 of the tank

= 60%

= 3/5 of tank

In conclusion, 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.

If the guppies multiply by four in six months then that 4 raised to the power of six. Then multiply it with the starting number of guppies which is 6Formula=4^6 (6)4096 x 6= 24576
So, there are 24, 576 guppies in six months. The answer is A.

A 2 liter bottle is filled completely with water from a faucet in 10 seconds. How much water was filled into the bottle each sec

telo118 [61]

Answer:

A 0.2 L water was filled into the bottle from faucet each seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: A 2 liter bottle is filled completely with water from a faucet in 10 seconds.

⇒ In 10 sec a 2L bottle is completely filled with water from a faucet.

Unit rate per second = $\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 L$

Therefore, 0.2 L water was filled into the bottle each seconds.

If y varies directly with x, and y = 18 when x = 4, what is the constant of proportionality?

GREYUIT [131]

Y is directly proportional to x and therefore takes the form y=kx where k is the constant of proportionality.

Dividing both sides by x for the given values, k becomes 18/4 = 4.5
