Answer:

225 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 40 pounds to make 3 pounds of olive oil, we set up this equation:

40 times what equals 3000?

Then, we multiply 3 by the number that we are looking for.

So, we do 3000 / 40 = 75 to get the number.

Then, we do 3 * 75 = 225.

Therefore, 3000 pounds of olives makes 225 liters of olive oil..

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=x/3-5

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x/3-5 (rewrite x - term)

y = (1/3) x + 5

recall that in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation y = mx + b

m is the slope.

In our case, we can clearly see that slope m = (1/3)

Eric earned 60 points on his last test if there were 75 possible points what was his percent grade

Andru [333]

So 75 points is your 100%. You can do 60 over 75 is equal to X over 100. You divide your numerator(60) by your denominator(75) to get 85.7142857%, or to round to your nearest percent, your answer would be roughly 86%.

Working together to palms can drain a certain pool in three hours if it takes the older pump nine hours to drain the pool by its

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It would take the newer pump 4.5 hours to drain the pool

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's investigate first what is the fraction of the job done in the unit of time (hour in this case) by each pump if the work individually:

older pump: if it takes it 9 hours to complete the job, it does $\frac{1}{9}$ of the job in one hour.

newer pump: we don't know how long it takes (this is our unknown) so we call it "x hours". Therefore, in the unit of time (in one hour) it would have completed $\frac{1}{x}$ of the total job.

both pumps together: since it takes both 3 hours to complete the job, in one hour they do $\frac{1}{3}$ of the job.

Now, we can write the following equation about fractions of the job done:

<em>The fraction of the job done by the older pump plus the fraction of the job done by the newer pump in one hour should total the fraction of the job done when they work together.</em> That is in mathematical terms:

$\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{3}$

and solving for x:

$\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{3} \\x+9=3x\\2x=9\\x=\frac{9}{2} \,\,hours\\x = 4.5\,\,hours$
