Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase "at least" indicates that you use the symbol ≥, so that's where they got the ≥ from. The amount of water needed for each bushel is 1/3 * f or 1/3f because you need 1/3 gallons of water per one bushel. We know that the amount of water needed is at least 1/3 gallons per bushel. Since the amount of water is w, "at least" is ≥ and 1/3 gallons per bushel is 1/3f, the inequality is w ≥ 1/3f. I hope this makes sense.

The system shown is _____.<br><br> equivalent<br><br> independent<br><br> inconsistent
Rzqust [24]
We know that
If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent.
When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line
so
the system has an infinite number of solutions

If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent.
<span>
therefore
the system is </span>consistent, dependent and <span>equivalent
</span><span>
the answer is 
</span>equivalent

All members of our painting team paint at the same rate. If $20$ members can paint a $6000$ square foot wall in $24$ minutes, th
Yuri [45]

Let x represent time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.

We have been given that all members of our painting team paint at the same rate. 20 members can paint a 6000 square foot wall in 24 minutes. We are asked to find the time taken by 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Time taken}}{\text{Area of wall painted}}=\frac{24\text{ min}}{6000\text{ ft}^2}

\frac{x}{9000\text{ ft}^2}=\frac{24\text{ min}}{6000\text{ ft}^2}

\frac{x}{9000\text{ ft}^2}\times 9000\text{ ft}^2=\frac{24\text{ min}}{6000\text{ ft}^2}\times 9000\text{ ft}^2

x=\frac{24\text{ min}}{6}\times 9

x=4\text{ min}\times 9

x=36\text{ min}

Therefore, it will take 36 minutes for 20 members to paint 9000 square foot wall.

A sphere has a radius of 16 in. Which statements about the sphere are true? Check all that apply.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

  • The sphere has a diameter of 32 in. CORRECT: the diameter of a sphere doubles its radio, so if the radio equals 16,the diameter measures the double, in this case, 32.
  • The radius' lenght is one half the length of the diameter. CORRECT: , by definition, the diameter is the maximum distance between two opposite points on the surface of the sphere, and its lenght equals twice the radius because the radius is the distance between the center of the sphere and any point of the frontier of the sphere (then, one colud imagine that the distance between two opposite points in a sphere can be united by two radius, or a diameter).
  • The volume (V) of a sphere can be calculated as \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}, where r is the radio. In this case, the volume of the sphere will be \frac{4\pi\times16^3}{3}=\frac{4\pi\times4096}{3}, which is also equal to \frac{16384\times\pi}{3}.
