A fire hydrant with a blue cap provides water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute. A fire hydrant with a green cap provides wa

ter at a rate of 1,000 gallons per minute. A fire hydrant with a purple cap provides water at half the rate of a fire hydrant with a green cap..Which equation relates the flow of water from the blue hydrant, b, to the flow from the green hydrant, g.

Answer: 2b = 3g

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite basic to solve, below is a Step by step explanation:

from the given question we have that;

  • A fire hydrant with a blue cap provides water at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute.

       i.e  b = 1500 gallons per minute

  • A fire hydrant with a green cap provides water at a rate of 1,000 gallons per minute.

          g = 1000 gallons per minute.

Our questions tells us to write the equation which  relates the flow of water from the blue hydrant, b, to the flow from the green hydrant, g.

ANS:

Since flow from blue  hydrant b = 1500 gallons per minute, we have that

b = 3 * 500

b = 3 * 1000/2 g

b = 3/2 g

equation  gives 2b = 2g

cheers i hope this helped !!

Bob and Ted are in the plumbing business. Bob can do the plumbing hook-up for a new house in 4 hours; Ted does the same job in 6
Stels [109]
Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12. 
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a)Slope: \hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106

Intercept: \hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548

b) r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657  

And the determination coeffecient is r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and definitions

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.  

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"    

When we conduct a multiple regression we want to know about the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and a dependent or criterion variable.  

n=110, \sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9 , sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8  

\sum Y_i =17375 , \sum X_i = 7665.5

Part a

The slope is given by this formula:

\hat \beta_1 =\frac{\sum (x-\bar x) (y-\bar y)}{\sum (x-\bar x )^2}

If we replace we got:

\hat \beta_1 =\frac{7625.9}{1248.9}=6.106

We can find the intercept with the following formula

\hat \beta_o = \bar y -\hat \beta_1 \bar x

We can find the average for x and y like this:

\bar X=7665.5/110 =69.686, \bar y= 17375/110=157.955

And replacing we got:

\hat \beta_o = 157.955 -6.106 (69.686)=-267.548

Part b

In order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

r=\frac{\sum (x-\bar x)(y-\bar y) }{\sqrt{[\sum (x-\bar x)^2][\sum(y-\bar y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:  

n=110, \sum x_i y_i = \sum (X-\bar X)(Y-\bar Y) =7625.9,\sum x^2_i=\sum (x-\bar x)^2 =1248.9 , sum y^2_i=\sum(y-\bar y)^2 =94228.8  

So we can find the correlation coefficient replacing like this:

r=\frac{7625.9}{\sqrt{[1248.9][94228.8]}}=0.657  

And the determination coeffecient is r^2 = 0.657^2 =0.432

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–2, 4) and has a slope of 2/5? y – 4 = 2/5 (x 2) y 4 = 2/5 (x – 2) y 2 = 1
Natali5045456 [20]
Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1); where m is the slope.
y - 4 = 2/5 (x - (-2))
y - 4 = 2/5 (x + 2)

A rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their y
Vsevolod [243]

We have been given that a rectangular yard is fenced in using 319 feet of custom fence Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the same fence.  Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size of  yours.

We are asked to find the length of fence that your friends should purchase.

Since the size of your friend's yard is \frac{8}{5} times your yard, so your friend should purchase \frac{8}{5} times the 319 feet.

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=\frac{8}{5}\times 319\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=8\times 63.8\text{ ft}

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}=510.4\text{ ft}

Upon rounding our answer to nearest foot, we will get:

\text{Length of fence your friend should purchase}\approx 510\text{ ft}

Therefore, your friends should purchase 510 feet of fence and option C is the correct choice.

Round 96.9617186007 to the nearest tenth.
Pavlova-9 [17]

if you're talking about the whole number, 100.96. if you're referring to decimal place values; 96.70.

underline the digit that you round to

circle the digit to the right

five or more goes up

four or less stays the same

everything behind becomes a zero.
