The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kipish [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.

2/3 = 4/6

1/2 = 3/6

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6

1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.

3 * 6 = 18 gallons

Checking my answer:

18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12

12 - 3 = 9

1/2 of 18 = 9

This means that our answer is correct.

What is typically used to quantitatively compare the effectiveness of layouts? A. trial and error B. load-distance model C. expo
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B. load-distance model

Step-by-step explanation:

A. trial and error

Trial and error is "a fundamental method of problem solving. It is characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success". But this method is not the best in order to compare effectiveness of layouts

B. load-distance model

The load-distance method is a "mathematical model used to evaluate locations based on proximity factors. The objective is to select a location that minimizes the total weighted loads moving into and out of the facility. The distance between two points is expressed by assigning the points to grid coordinates on a map". And that's the correct option since we are trying to measure the effectiveness of layouts quantitatively.

C. exponential smoothing

This is "a rule of thumb technique for smoothing time series data using the exponential window function". Wheighting observations using the exponential function. But this is a techinique used to smooth s time series not to compare effectiveness of layouts.

D.process control charts

The Control Chart is a "graph used to study how a process changes over time with data plotted in time order". But we don't want to see how the process changes the objective is quantitatively compare the effectiveness of layouts, and this one is not the best option for this.

E. mean absolute deviation (MAD)

The median absolute deviation(MAD) is "a robust measure of how spread out a set of data is. The variance and standard deviation are also measures of spread, but they are more affected by extremely high or extremely low values and non normality". But again is just a measure of spread and not allow to compare effectiveness of layouts.

How to write3.repeating 7 as a mixed number
ki77a [65]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our fraction x.

x=3.777......

We want to get rid of the repeating stuff. If we multiply our fraction by 10, we get 10x=37.7777.

We see that if we subtract x from 10x, the repeating numbers will be cancelled out. Let's do this.

10x=37.7777

-

x=3.77777

=

9x=34

We divide both sides by 9.

x=34/9=3 7/9.

Have a wonderful day! :D
