• Water tank A has 220 gallons of water and is being drained at a constant rate of 5 gallons per minute.• Water tank B has 180 gallons of water and is being drained at a constant rate of 3 gallons per minute.
Part
How much time, in minutes, do water tank A and water tank B have to be drained in order for them to have the same amount of water?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  In 20 minutes, tanks A and B will each have 120 gallons remaining in them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, the amount at which they will be equal, represents the given starting amounts minus the gal/min times the unknown time in minutes, m.

220 - 5m = 180 - 3m Subtract 180 from both sides; add 5m to both sides.

220-180 -5m +5m = 180-180 +5m - 3m  Combine like terms

40 = 2m  Divide both sides by 2

20 = m

Check: Substitute 20 for m in the equation

220 - 5(20) = 180 - 3(20)

220 - 100 = 180 -60

120 = 120   True!

now that scientifically notation

For standard your gonna need to simplify that

so we know 10^12 is 1000000000000

Multiply the 7.6

A bicycle is traveling at 20 miles per hour. How many feet will it cover in 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 880ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Speed = 20(miles)/(hour)

Time = 30\ seconds

Required

Determine the distance

To answer this question, we make use of speed-distance relationship

Speed = (Distance)/(Time)

Make Distance the subject

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 20 miles/hour * 30 seconds

Convert seconds to hour

Distance = 20 miles/hour * (30)/(3600) hour

Distance = 20 miles * (30)/(3600)

Distance = (20 miles * 30)/(3600)

Distance = (600\ miles)/(3600)

Distance = (1)/(6) miles

Convert to foot

Distance = (1)/(6) * 5280\ ft

Distance = (1* 5280\ ft)/(6)

Distance = (5280\ ft)/(6)

Distance = 880ft

IN 2013 The number of students in a small school is 284. it is estimated that the student population will increase by 4% every year. write formula for student population and estimate student population in 2020

Answers

Answer:

Amount = Initial value × (1 + rate of interest)^years and 374

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to determine the student population and the estimated student population is given below:

As we know that

Amount = Initial value × (1 + rate of interest)^years

= 284 × (1 + 0.04)^7

= 284 × 1.04^7

= 373.72

= 374
