16 % = 38

(16 × 6 = 96

16 / 4 = 4 so = 38/4 = 9.5)

100% = 38*5 + 9.5

=199.5

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The inequality is  6x+4,885.78\leq 9,750.05

x\leq 810.71\ gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount of water that can be used by only one family member for the rest of the month

we know that

6x+4,885.78\leq 9,750.05

Solve for x

Subtract 4,885.78 both sides

6x\leq 9,750.05-4,885.78

6x\leq 4,864.27

Divide by 6 both sides

x\leq 4,864.27/6

x\leq 810.71\ gal

A rectangular pan has a length that is 4/3 the width. The total area of the pan is 432 in.2. What is the width of the cake pan
Helga [31]
Let width = w
length = 4w/3

Area = 432 = length*width = w*4w/3

4w^2/3 = 432
w^2 = 432*3/4 = 324
w = 18
so the width of the cake pan is 18 inches.
