let the goldfish be x and the guppies be y

4x + 3y = 29...equ(1)

3x + 5y = 30...equ(2)

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3

20x + 15y = 145...equ(1)

9x + 15y = 90...equ(2)

subtracting equation 2 from 1

11x = 55

∴x = 5

substituting the value of x into equation

4(5) + 3y = 29

20 + 3y = 29

3y = 9

∴y =3

An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 4 ft long with a diameter of 2.2 ft. S

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

$r^2\cdot\pi\cdot h$

Since the diameter is $2.2$ , the radius is $\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1$ .

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is:

$1.1^2\cdot 3.14\cdot 4=15.1976\:\mathrm{ft^3}$ , using $\pi=3.14$ as requested in the problem.

Since the tank is emptied at a constant rate of $1.5\:\mathrm{ft^3\:per\:minute}$ , it will take

$\frac{15.1976}{1.5}=7.5988=\fbox{$8\:\mathrm{minutes}$}$ to empty the tank.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The percent of the increase for the money the class raised is 10 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you divide 1500 by 10 you get 150 that means 150 is 10 % of 1500 and if you add 150 to 1500 you get 1650 so the increase of money the class raised is 10 %
