Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

Answer: $2\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

$d=rt$

Where "d" is distance, "r" is rate and "t" is time.

Solved for the time "t":

$t=\frac{d}{r}$

The first step is to convert the distance from miles to feet.

Since $1\ mile=5,280\ feet$ , we get:

$d=(0.2\ mi)(\frac{5,280\ ft}{1\ mi})\\\\d=1,056\ ft$

Knowing that:

$r=8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}$

We can substitute values into $t=\frac{d}{r}$ in order to find the time in seconds:

$t=\frac{1,056\ ft}{8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}}\\\\t=120\ s$

Since:

$1\ minute = 60\ seconds$

The time in minutes is:

$t=(120\ s)(\frac{1\ min}{60\ s})\\\\t=2\ min$

To answer this, you need to make a systems of equations.

25x + 35y = 1450
x + y = 50 ----> y = 50 - x

25x + 35(50-x) = 1450
25x + 1750 - 35x = 1450
25x - 35x + 1750 = 1450
-10x + 1750 = 1450
- 1750 -1750

-10x = -300
x = 30
