The container that holds the water for the football team is 2/5 full. After pouring in 8 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  30 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the capacity of the container. Then we have ...

  2/5c + 8 = 2/3c

Multiplying by 15 clears the fractions:

  6c +120 = 10c

  120 = 4c . . . . . . . . subtract 6c

  30 = c . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The container can hold 30 gallons.

_____

Additional comment

Often, you are told to "clear fractions" first when solving equations that involve them. Here, you can work directly with the fractions, if you like.

  8 = (2/3c) -(2/5c) = 4/15c . . . . . find the difference of the fractions

  8(15/4) = c = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by its inverse

allowing 20% discount on the marked price of a watch, the value of the watch will be rs 6328, when a VAT of 13% is added find it's marked price​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let , MP =x

then,

discount amount =D% of MP

= (20/100)× x

= 0.2x

now,Sp without VAT = MP-D

=x - 0.2x

= 0.8x

NoW, SP with VAT = Sp without VAT+ VAT %of SP

or ,6328 = 0.8x + 13% of 0.8x

or, 6328 = 0.8x + (13/100) × 0.8x

or, 6328= 0.8x + 0.104x

or,. 6328= 0.904x

or, X= 6328/0.904

X= 7000 Rs.

Hence ,MP is Rs.7000

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  after 32 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

They will both cross the start line together after each has completed a number of full laps in the same time that the other has completed an integer number of full laps. That time will be the least common multiple (LCM) of their lap times, 128 seconds and 120 seconds.

The difference of these times (8 seconds) is also a divisor of both times, so that value is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two lap times. The LCM can be figured as ...

  LCM(120, 128) = 120×128/GCD(120, 128)

  LCM = 120×128/8 = 1920 . . . . . seconds

Converting this to minutes, we get ...

  (1920 s)/(60 s/min) = 32 min

They will next cross the start line together after 32 minutes.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation or tell me.

EF = 18

Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate

The width of a rectangle is one foot more than a third of the length. If the
perimeter is 42 feet, what is the width? What is the length?

Answers

Well, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
2l + 2w.
So, by plugging in our values of the length and width, we can easily find an answer:
length = L
width = 1 + L ( 1/3 )
2 ( L ) + 2 ( L ( 1/3 + 1 ) = 42
2l + 2/3( L ) + 2 = 42
8/3 ( L ) = 40
L = 40 * 3/8
L = 15
Therefore, the length is 15 and the width is 6.

7m = 49 solve the equation by trial and error method​

Answers

Trial and error specifies that you should guess the value of m and see if you aimed too low too high then adjust your next guess based on that.

Suppose we don't already know what m is (even though it is completely obvious), let's pick m to be 6,

So we check, [tex]7\cdot6=42[/tex] but [tex]35\lt49[/tex] which means m must be bigger.

So we pick m to be 8 and check, [tex]7\cdot8=56[/tex] but [tex]56\gt49[/tex] which means m must be smaller.

Since only natural number between 6 and 8 is 7 we pick m to be 7 and check, [tex]7\cdot7=49[/tex] and [tex]49=49[/tex].

The answer is therefore 7.

A stone is dropped of a 1296-ft-cliff. The height of the stone above the ground is given by the equation h= - 16t^2+1296, where h is the stone’s height in feet, and t is the time in seconds after the stone is dropped. Find the time required for the stone to hit the ground.

So,

[tex]h=-16t^2+1296\\\\v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}=-32t+0\\\\=-32t\\\\\\a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=-32[/tex]

When [tex]s(t)=0[/tex] now solve it for [tex]t[/tex] so,

[tex]-16t^2+1296=0\\\\t^2=\frac{1296}{16}\\\\t^2=81\\\\t=\sqrt{81}\\\\t=9seconds[/tex]

When [tex]t=9[/tex] so,

[tex]v(9)=-32(9)\\\\v(9)=-288[/tex]

Maria reads 3/5 chapters in 5/6 hours whats the unit rate?

Answers

Answer: 18/25 chapters / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of unit rate.

A unit rate is a rate with 1 in the denominator.

In simple words, the unit rate is something per one thing. For example, when you go to a store, you bought a book that is priced at $10. In actually meaning, it is $10 per book, or $10/book.

Solve:

Given formula

Unit rate = Number of chapters / Hours

Substitute the value into the formula

Unit rate = (3/5) / (5/6)

Convert to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor

Unit rate = (3/5) · (6/5)

Numerator times numerator / denominator times denominator

Unit rate = (3 × 6) / (5 × 5)

Unit rate = 18 / 25 chapter / hour

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

The unit rate is 18/25 chapters per hour. This means Maria is reading at a rate of 18/25 chapters in one hour.

How to determine the unit rate

To calculate the unit rate, we're trying to find out how much of something (in this case, chapters) happens in a single unit of another thing (time, in hours).

In this scenario, Maria reads 3 out of 5 chapters in 5 out of 6 hours. To find the unit rate, we divide the chapters read (3/5) by the time taken (5/6 hours):

Unit Rate = Chapters Read / Time Taken

= (3/5) / (5/6)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

Unit Rate = (3/5) * (6/5)

= (3 * 6) / (5 * 5)

= 18 / 25

So, the unit rate is 18/25 chapters per hour. This means Maria is reading at a rate of 18/25 chapters in one hour.

The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 318m. If the width of the parking lot is 61m what is the length

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify each side of the equation:

318 = 2(61+x)

318= (2)(61) + (2)(x)

318= 122 + 2x

Flip the equation:

2x + 122 = 318

Subtract 122 from each side:

2x + 122 − 122 = 318 − 122

2x = 196

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 196/2

x = 98
