average rate of 650 gallons per day

In this question there are several important information's worth noting.Based on these information's the answer can be easily found. It is given that the total capacity of the tank is 24000 gallons. in 24 hours or in 1 day the amount of water used is 650 gallons. The question requires us to find the time it will take to use 2/3 rd of the water in the tank.
then
2/3 rd water in respect to total water in tank = (2/3) * 24000
                                                                       = 16000
So 2/3 rd water of full tank is equivalent to 16000 gallons.
Now
650 gallons of water is used in = 24 hours
So
16000 gallons of water will be used in = (24/650) * 16000
                                                             = 590.77 hours
So it will take 590.77 hours to consume 2/3rd of the total water present in the tank.

Mary was told that a line goes through the points (1, 3) and (6, -2) and has a slope of 3.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

a. The slope is incorrect

b. y = 3x, ( 0 , 0 )

c) y = 4 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The slope between two points (1, 3) and (6, -2) is 3.

a. Explain why the information Mary was given cannot be correct.

- The slope between two arbitrary points, ( x1 , y1 ) and  (x2 , y2) is given by the following relationship:

                         slope = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1)

- Use the given points (1, 3) and (6, -2) and determine the slope:

                        slope = ( -2 - 3 ) / ( 6 - 1 )

                        slope = ( -5 ) / ( 5 )

                        slope = -1

- Yes, the given slope is incorrect it should be = -1

b.If the given point (1, 3) and the given slope are correct, what is the equation for the line? Give the  coordinates of another point on the line

- We will assume the point (1,3) lies on line with a slope = 3.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

                              y = slope*x + c

Where,      m : Slope

                 c : y-intercept

                             y = 3x + c

Using the given correct point to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

                             3 = 3*1 + c

                             c = 0

- The equation of line is,

                            y = 3x

- The origin (0,0) lies on the line y = 3x.

c. If the given points are correct for the line, what is the slope? Write an equation for the line

- We will assume the points (1, 3) and (6, -2) lies on line with a slope calculated in part (a) to be = -1.

- We will use the slope-intercept equation of line:

                              y = slope*x + c

Where,      m : Slope

                 c : y-intercept

                             y = -x + c

Using the given points to evaluate the y-intercept (c):

                             3 = -1 + c

                             c = 4

- The equation of line is,

                            y = -x + 4

A country's population in 1993 was 94 million. in 1999 in was 99 million. estimate the population in 2005 using the exponential
Jet001 [13]
The initial population is
P₀ = 94 million in 1993

The growth formula is
P(t) = P_{0}e^{kt}
where P(t) is the population (in millions) after t years, measured from 1993.
k = constant.

Because P(5) = 99 million (in 1999), 
94e^{5k} = 99 \\e^{5k}=1.0532 \\ 5k = ln(1.0532) \\ k = 0.010367

In the year 2005, t = 12 years, and
P(12)=94e^{0.010367*12} = 106.45

Answer: 106 million (nearest million)

A restaurant owner was experimenting with the taste of her homestyle lemon drink. She started with 60 litres of water. She remov
Burka [1]

Answer:

ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon  drink is 5 : 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the final ratio of lemon juice to water, let us start by determining the initial ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the first mix. This is done as follows:

Total volume of mixture = 60 liters

initial volume of water = 60 liters

initial volume of lemon juice = 0 liters

1) She removed 15 liters of the water and replaced it with 15 liters of pure lemon juice.

Volume of water = 60 - 15 = 45 liters

Volume of lemon juice = 15 liters

 \therefore \frac{15}{60}\ = \frac{1}{4}\  of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ lemon\ juice\\\frac{45}{60}\ = \frac{3}{4}\  of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ pure\ water

2) She removed 10 liters of the new mixture

Let us convert this amount removed into ratio:

lemon\ juice\ = \frac{1}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}\ liters.\\  \therefore the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{5}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = \frac{3}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2}\ liters\\  \therefore\ the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{15}{2}\ liters\ of\ water\ from\ the\ first\ mix.

New volumes of water and lemon juice after removing the 10 liters of mixture is calculated as follows:

lemon\ juice\ = 15 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{30-5}{2} = \frac{25}{2}\ liters\ of\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = 45 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{90-15}{2} = \frac{75}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ water

3) and replaced it with 10 liters of water.

New\ volume\ of\ water\ = 10 + \frac{75}{2} = \frac{20+ 75}{2} = \frac{95}{2}\ liters

The final ratio of lemon juice to water:

\frac{25}{2} : \frac{95}{2}\\= 25 : 95\\= 5 : 19

Therefore, the final ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon  drink is 5 : 19.

A rectangular prism has a volume of 320 cubic cm. Its height is 8 cm. What is the area of its base? A 40 square cm B 4 square cm
Airida [17]
Volume of a prism is height x base x length. the area of the base would be calculated from the volume/ height so 
320/8 = 40 cm squared

Royce is folding a piece of paper to make an origami figure. Each time he folds the paper, the thickness of the paper is doubled
Alisiya [41]
The input value is the number of times you fold it. The input value is also known as the x-value. 
The output value is its thickness. The output value is the y-value.

When you don't fold it all, the thickness will remain the same, which is 2. The ordered pair would be (0, 2).

When you fold it once, the thickness will double from 2 to 4. The ordered pair would be (1,4).

When you fold it a second time, the thickness will double from 4 to 8. The ordered pair would be (2,8).

Fold it one more time, and the thickness will be 16. The ordered pair is (3,16)

Fold it the fourth time, and the thickness doubles. 16 x 2 = 32 The ordered pair is (4, 32)

Fold it the fifth time, and the thickness goes from 32 to 64. The ordered pair is (5,64)

The ordered pairs would be:
(0,2)
(1,4)
(2,8)
(3,16)
(4,32)
(5,64)
(6,128)
(7,256)
and so on :P

The question asks for 6 ordered pairs, so I bolded the first six.

Now, the equation for this would be y = 2^{(x+1)}

If we graph that, and we do the vertical line test, then we know this is a function.

It is a function because each x-value has a different y-value. There are no y-values that have the same x-values.

<span>I have attached the graph of that line.</span>
