Laura fills a bucket with water at a rate of 6 L/min. At the same time, Sarah empties a bucket holding 30 L of water at a rate of 9 L/min. Let l represent the number of liters of water and let t represent time in minutes. The system models this situation.How many minutes will it take for the buckets to hold equal amounts of water, and how much water will that be?

l = 6t

l = 30 – 9t


It will take ____ minutes for both buckets to hold equal amounts of water. They will each hold ____ liters.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 0+6 L per min
30-9 L per min
so let x represent the time
0+6 times x and
30-9 times x
we want to know what time they will be equal so set them equatl to each other
0+6x=30-9x
6x=30-9x
add 9x to both sides
15x=30
divide both sides by 15
x=2
at 2 mins, they will be equal
find out what that is
subsitute in 0+6x
0+6(2)=0+12=12L

the answers are 2 minutes and 12 liters respectively

Rewrite the equation 11 x - 5 x 2 + 7 = 6 in standard form and identify a, b, and c

Answers

Answer:

5x^2 - 11x = 1

This is now in standard form, where a = 5, b = -11, and c = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the equation 11x - 5x^2 + 7 = 6 in standard form, we need to rearrange the terms so that the polynomial is in descending order of degree, with no missing terms. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.

So, let's start by moving the constant term to the right-hand side of the equation:

11x - 5x^2 = 6 - 7

11x - 5x^2 = -1

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to make the coefficient of the x^2 term positive:

5x^2 - 11x = 1

This is now in standard form, where a = 5, b = -11, and c = 1.

Answers

Correct question is;

1) Milk and cream are mixed together for a recipe. The total volume of the mixture is 1 cup. If the milk contains 2% fat, the cream contains 18% fat, and the mixture contains 6% fat, how much cream is in the mixture?

2) Fifteen percent of the pigment in paint color A is black. Sixty percent of the pigment in paint color B is black. An unknown amount of paint color B is mixed with 40 ml of paint color A, resulting in a paint that contains 25% black pigment. Which equation can be used to solve for x, the total amount of paint in the mixture of the two colors?

A) 0.15(40) + 0.6x = 0.25(40 + x)

B) 0.15(40) + 0.6(x – 40) = 0.25(x)

C) 0.15(40) + 0.6x = 0.25(40 – x)

D) 0.15(40) + 0.6(x + 40) = 0.25(x)

Answer:

1) Amount of cream = ¼cup

2) Option D: 0.15(40) + 0.6(x - 40) = 0.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First of all, let x represent the amount of cup of milk and let y represent the of cup of cream.

We are told that the volume of the mixture is 1 cup.

Thus;

x + y = 1 - - - (eq 1)

We are now told that the milk contains 2% fat, the cream contains 18% fat, and the mixture contains 6% fat

Thus, x contains 0.02 fat, y contains 0.18 fat and the 1 cup of mixture contains 0.06 fat.

Thus, we will multiply the respective terms in eq 1 by these %fat content.

Thus;

0.02x + 0.18y = 0.06(1)

0.02x + 0.18y = 0.06 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, let's make y the subject which is the amount of cup of cream.

Thus,

y = 1 - x

Let's put 1 - x for y in eq 2 to get;

0.02x + 0.18(1 - x) = 0.06

0.02x + 0.18 - 0.18x = 0.06

0.18x - 0.02x = 0.18 - 0.06

0.16x = 0.12

x = 0.12/0.16

x = 3/4 cup

From,y = 1 - x;

y = 1 - (3/4)

y = ¼ cup

Amount of cream = ¼cup

2) We are given;

15% of the pigment in paint color A is black.

60% of the pigment in paint color B is black.

We are now told that Alan unknown amount of paint color B is mixed with 40 ml of paint color A, resulting in a paint that contains 25% black pigment.

If we assume the total amount of paint in the mixture is x like we are told, it means that based on the given data, we have a sum of;

0.15(40) + 0.6(x - 40)

Thus is because we know the amount of paint A used as 40 but don't know the amount of paint B used.

Now we are told that this sum produces a mixture that contains 25% black pigment. Since the total amount in the mixture is x. Thus, this final product is 0.25x.

Therefore to derive an equation to find the total amount of paint in the mixture of the two colors, we will equate the sum of the 2 Mixtures to the final product.

This gives;

0.15(40) + 0.6(x - 40) = 0.25x

Andy cut rope for an activity at outdoor camp. He had 504 centimeters of rope to cut into equal-length pieces. How many of the ways given below would use the entire amount of rope? Circle all that apply. A. 12 pieces of 42.3 centimeter long rope B. 15 pieces of 33.6 centimeter long rope C. 16 pieces of 31.5 centimeter long rope D. 20 pieces of 25 centimeter long rope E. 35 pieces of 14.4 centimeter long rope

Answers

Answer: B, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to know if the options are correct, we just have to multiply the length the rope was cut into by the number of pieces and check if it equals 504 centimeter.

A. 12 pieces of 42.3 centimeter long rope.

= 12 × 42.3

= 507.6

This is wrong

B. 15 pieces of 33.6 centimeter long rope

= 15 × 33.6

= 504cm

This is correct

C. 16 pieces of 31.5 centimeter long rope

= 16 × 31.5

= 504cm

This is correct

D. 20 pieces of 25 centimeter long rope

= 20 × 25

= 500cm

This is incorrect

E. 35 pieces of 14.4 centimeter long rope

= 35 × 14.4

= 504cm

This is correct

Therefore, the correct option are B, C and E.
