Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression "twice as much lemonade" indicates that if Mark sold 2 gallons and Regan sold double that amount, Regan would have 2 * 2, equating to 4 gallons, right? The same principle applies to "2/3 as much." Since 2/3 is less than 1, multiplying a quantity by 2/3 results in a value smaller than the original quantity.

If Mark sold 2 7/8 gallons while Regan sold 2/3 of that amount, then Regan's total is:

2\frac{7}{8}*\frac{2}{3}

To simplify calculations, I advise my algebra students to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction before multiplication:

\frac{23}{8}*\frac{2}{3}=\frac{46}{24}=\frac{23}{12}=1\frac{11}{12}

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

This function is piece-wise, meaning you will have two equations along with distinct domains. The equation x squared plus 3 illustrates a parabolic curve, while x plus 4 is depicted as a linear function. There is a specific reason why the point on the parabola is open at x equals 4; this signifies that the value does not satisfy the equation. Therefore, x cannot equal 4 for the parabola, so its domain is x less than 4. The closed point on the linear function indicates that when x is 4, it is part of the solution for that equation and graph. Consequently, the domain for the linear function is x greater than or equal to 4. Hope this clarifies things!

Two towns accumulated different amounts of snow. In town 1, the snow depth is increasing by 3 1/2 inches every hour. In town 2 t
tester [12383]

a=2+6t, b=10+2t

a=b when

2+6t=10+2t  subtract 2t from both sides

2+4t=10  subtract 2 from both sides

4t=8  divide both sides by 4

t=2

Thus, they will have the same amount of snowfall after two hours

hope i helped

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.
lawyer [12517]
The formula for the volume of a sphere can be derived as follows. We will approach this through calculus, utilizing the concept of a solid of revolution; this is a three-dimensional shape formed by rotating a two-dimensional curve around a straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies within the same plane. From calculus, we know that we will generate a shape by rotating the specified circumference. Next, we isolate y and utilize certain limits for this integral.

It takes your garden hose 20 seconds to fill your 2-gallon watering can. How long will it take to fill
zzz [12365]

Answer: a) 1791 seconds

b) 29701 seconds

Step-by-step breakdown:

1 US gallon = 0.134 cubic feet

It takes 20 seconds to fill a 2-gallon watering can with the garden hose. Converting 2 gallons into cubic feet results in

2 × 0.134 = 0.268 cubic feet

a) The inflatable pool has dimensions of 3 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 1 foot deep.

Volume = 3 × 8 × 1 = 24 cubic feet

If it takes 0.268 cubic feet = 20 seconds

Then 24 cubic feet = (24 × 20)/0.268

= 1791 seconds

b) The formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr²h

Diameter = 13 feet

Radius = diameter/2 = 13/2 = 6.5

The circular pool's volume calculates to

3.14 × 6.5² × 3 = 397.995 cubic feet

If it takes 0.268 cubic feet = 20 seconds

Then 397.995 cubic feet = (397.995 × 20)/0.268

= 29701 seconds
