A family of five recently replaced its 5-gallon-per-minute showerheads with water-saving 2-gallon-per-minute showerheads. Each m

ember of the family averages 8 minutes in the shower per day. In a 30-day period, how many fewer gallons of water will the family use with the new showerheads?

Answer:

Family will save 3600 gallons of water by replacing the shower-heads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of family members in a family = 5

Each member of the family averages shower per day = 8 minutes

Total time for shower = 5×8 = 40 minutes

With a 5 gallon shower-heads each member will use water in a day = 5×40 = 200 gallons

Water consumption in 30 days = 200×30 = 6000 gallons per month

After replacing the shower-heads with 2 gallons per minute shower-heads family will use the amount of water = 40×2= 80 gallons per day

Water used in one month = 80×30 = 2400 gallons

Now water save by the family in 30-day period = 6000 - 2400 = 3600 gallons

Therefore, family will use 3600 gallons less water by replacing the water saving water heads.

Reggie heard that as a general rule, he should save at least 10% of his take- home pay. If Reggie's take-home pay is $2340 per m
ivolga24 [154]

We are given to understand as per the problem that one must save 10% of their take home pay.

Reggie's take home pay is $2,340 per month

As per the rule Reggie must save 10% of 2,340 per month = 0.10*2,340 = $234 per month

Since we need to know the savings in a year, we have to multiply the monthly savings by 12 since there are 12 months a year

Minimum amount per year that he should save = $234 *12 = $2,808

Minimum amount per year that he should save = $2,808

Use area model to explain the product 4.6 and 3. Write the product in standard form, word form and expanded form.
enyata [817]

Answer: Product = 13.8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As we have to use area model :</u>

So, we

Let length of rectangle be 4.6

Let breadth of rectangle be 3

As we know that

Area of rectangle is given by

Length \times breadth\\\\=4.6\times 3\\\\=13.8\text{ squared units }

Now, we must write in standard form, word form and expanded form:

So,

Standard form = 13.8

Word form = thirteen and 8 tenths

Expanded form is given by

13.8=1\times 10+3\times 1+8\times \frac{1}{10}

Find the truth set of each predicate. (If your answer is an interval, enter it using interval notation; otherwise enter it as a
makvit [3.9K]

(a) Predicate: 10d is an integer

The domain is \mathbb{Z}. In fact, integers are closed under multiplication, and 10 is an integer. So, if d is an integer, 10d is a multiplication between integers, and thus an integer.

(c) 1\leq x^2\leq 4

Since 1 and 4 are both squares, we have

1\leq x^2 \leq 4 \iff 1^2\leq x^2 \leq 2^2

And we deduce that x must be between 1 and 2. But since negative numbers become positive when squared, the numbers between -2 and -1 are also fine. So, the domain is

[-2,-1]\cup [1,2]

Predicates (b) and (d) are identical to (a) and (c)
