A rainwater was 2/3 full of water. After 60 liters of water were used from the barrel, it was 5/12 full. How much water does the barrel hold when full?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  240 liters

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = capacity of barrel in liters

This value of x is some positive real number. It represents the most amount of water the barrel can hold.

The problem states that the barrel is 2/3 full to start with. This means, we start off with (2/3)x liters of water. Then we subtract off 60 of them to get to 5/12 full, meaning we have (5/12)x liters left.

We can form this equation

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

Multiply both sides by 12 to clear out the fractions

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

12*( (2/3)x - 60 ) = 12*(5/12)x

12*(2/3)x - 12*60 = 12*(5/12)x

8x - 720 = 5x

From here we solve for x

8x - 5x = 720

3x = 720

x = 720/3

x = 240

The barrel's full capacity is 240 liters

--------------------------

Check:

2/3 of 240 = (2/3)*240 = 160

The barrel starts off with 160 liters of water inside.

We then use 60 of them to be left with 160-60 = 100 liters

Note how 100/240 = (5*20)/(12*20) = 5/12, showing that 100 liters out of 240 total reduces to the fraction 5/12. In other words, when we say "5/12 full" we mean 100 liters full. This helps confirm we have the right answer.

1. there are two methods to solve this system

I.substition

from the first relation we can deduct

2a-b=4

2a=4+b

a=(4+b)/2

now we substitute a in the second relation

(4+b)/2+b=5

we multiply by 2

4+b+2b=10

3b=6

b=6/3=2

a+2=5

a=3

II.reduction

2a-b=4

a+b=5

we can add the two relations together

2a+a-b+b=4+5

3a=9

a=3

3+b=5

b=2


Initially, there were only 197 weeds at a park. The weeds grew at a rate of 25% each week. The following function represents the weekly weed growth: f(x) = 1
the function to show how quickly the weeds grow each day and calculate this rate as a percentage.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is written very poorly because it is hard to know what x represents, as well as the end equation. I have come to the conclusion that x represents the amount of days and the end equation represents the exact same equation given (as it asks to rewrite the equation)

So, it is obvious that only one equation matches the one given -- as (1.03)^7 is approximately 1.23, which is close enough to 1.25 (compared to the other options), D is our answer

A and B have both 1.25^7 = around 4.77 (480% ish), and C has 1.03^x, which is not very close to 1.25

The growth of the weed is shown by each day will be f(x) = 197(1.03)⁷ˣ. Then the correct option is D.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r)ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

Initially, there were only 197 weeds at the park. The weeds grew at a rate of 25% each week. The following function represents the weekly weed growth:

f(x) = 197(1.25)ˣ

If the growth of the weed is shown by each day will be given as,

r = 0.25 / 7

r = 0.03

Then the function is given as,

f(x) = 197(1.03)⁷ˣ

The growth of the weed is shown by each day will be f(x) = 197(1.03)⁷ˣ. Then the correct option is D.

Answers

Answer: {(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 8)}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function:  y = x - 1    (y is one less than x)

If x =1 , y= 0

if x= 3 . y= 2

If x = 5 , y= 4

If x= 8 , y= 7

So it is same as

x y

1 0

3 2

5 4

8 7

But different from {(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 8)} [here x is 1 less than y]

So,  the complete statement would be : All of the following represent the same function except {(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 8)} .

What are the Coordinates?

Coordinates are the set of points in a geometrical plane or space, which is used to denote the exact point in the coordinate plane or space.

Given a line segment with the given coordinates for the end points.

Midpoint of a segment with end points (x, y) and (x', y') is,

Midpoint = ((x + x') / 2, (y + y') / 2)

Here the end points of the segment are (-6, -2) and (-1, 5).

Midpoint of the segment = ((-6 - 1) / 2, (-2 + 5) / 2)

                                         = (-7/2, 3/2)

Hence the mid point of the segment is (-7/2, 3/2).
