Answer:

1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the relationship is direct, meaning as the number of square feet decreases, the number of gallons also decreases.

3:900 = x:300

solution:

3(300) = 900x

900=900x

x=1

Which of the binomials below is a factor or this trinomial x-2 +5x+6

lutik1710 [3]

Firstly, for it to be a trinomial the expression would have to be x^2+5x+6 to factor this we would simply have to find 2 numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to 6. 3+2=5 and 3•2=6 so (x+3)(x+2) would be the answer

Where does the 1 come from in (1.0325)

NemiM [27]

Answer: *1*.0325

Step-by-step explanation: When you round it to the nearest tenths place the 3 behind the 0 is less than 4 therefore everything behind the 0 gets taken away. The 0 has no value so you could take it away too along with the decimal point and it will turn into just 1.

part of the river she observed fell 1.68 millimeters per year for 1.5 years. Use the distributive property to calculate the exac

Alecsey [184]

1.68 mm per year for 1.5 years could be rewritten as
(2.00-0.32) mm per year for 1.5 yrs.

Multiply: (1.5 yrs)(2.00-0.32)(mm/yr) = 3 mm + 0.48 mm = 3.48 mm

This approach makes use of the distributive property of multiplication.

Y varies directly as x. Y=42 when x=6. Find the value of y when x =15.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

y=120

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x is written as

$y \alpha x$

introducing a constant

y=kx

from the question, when y=48, x=6

substitute it in the formula

48=6k

making k the subject by dividing through by 6

$\frac{48}{6} = \frac{6k}{6}$

k=48/6

k=8

put the value of k in the expression y=kx

y=8x

from the question,the value of y when x=15 is given by

y=8×15

y=120.
