Using proportions, it is found that the rate of water flow was of 6 miles per hour.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the bottle flowed 1 mile in 10 minutes. How much does it flow in 1 hour = 60 minutes? The <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

1 mile - 10 minutes

x miles - 60 minutes

Applying cross multiplication:

10x = 60

x = 60/10

x = 6.

Hence, the rate of water flow was of 6 miles per hour.

Find the equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope-
mylen [45]

Answer:

y-5 = -3x

or

y = -3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point slope form of the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-5 = -3(x-0)

y-5 = -3x

We can change it to slope intercept form y= mx+b by adding 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -3x+5

y = -3x+5

How many positive integers less than 2018 are divisible by at least 3, 11, or 61?
Schach [20]
To find all the positive integers less than 2018 that are divisible by 3, 11, and 61, you will use what you know about factors.

3, 11, and 61 are all answers.  So are 33, 183, 671, and 2013.

If you put these in factors, the product will be divisible by them!

3 x 11 = 33
3 x 61 = 183
11 x 61 = 671
3 x 11 x 61 = 2013

Take each number and square it, cube it, etc...
9, 27, 81, 243, 729
121, 1331

9 x 11 = 99
27 x 11 = 297
81 x 11 = 891

121 x 9 =1089
121 x 3 =  363

61 x 9 = 549
61 x 27 = 1647

Everything in bold is a correct answer.
