Ok so we know that in ONE second, the dam releases 40000 gallons of water. In ONE minute, there are 60 seconds. Therefore...

1 second----------------40000 gallons
60 seconds--------------? ( this is what we're trying to find.

To get from 1 to 60, we multiplied by 60. Now we do it on the other side. 40000 times 60 is 2,400,000, so the rate in gallons per minute is 2,400,000 gallons per minute

Answer:

Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One of the valves on the Hoover Dam releases 40000 gallons of water per second.

To find : what is the rate in gallons per minute.

Solution : We have given

Water releases in 1 second = 40000 gallons.

1 minute = 60 second.

Water releases in 60 second = 40000 * 60 gallons.

Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

Therefore, Water releases in 1 minute = 2400000 gallons.

What is the solution to the linear equation? 2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14 y = –10 y = –1 y = 1 y = 10

svp [43]

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14

Simplify the left side:

3y +6 = 5y-14

Subtract 3y from both sides:

6 = 2y -14

Add 14 to each side:

2y =20

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 20 / 2

y = 10

A frog catches insects for his lunch. The frog likes to eat flies and mosquitoes in a certain ratio, which is shown in the diagr

avanturin [10]

Answer:

ON MONDAY: 35 mosquitos.

ON TUESDAY: 6 flies.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the diagram, the frog eats 3 flies for every 7 mosquitoes (for lunch). Then you can expresed this ratio as following:

3:7 or $\frac{3}{7}$

Based on the table:

-If the frog eats 15 flies on monday, then the number of mosquitos that it eats can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{mosquitoes}\\\\mosquitoes=\frac{15*7}{3}\\\\mosquitoes=35$

-If the frog eats 14 mosquitoes on tuesday, then the number of flies that it eats can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{7}=\frac{flies}{14}\\\\flies=\frac{14*3}{7}\\\\flies=6$

check graphically whether the pair of equation 3x-2y+2=0 and 3/2x-y+3=0 is consistent. also find the coordinates of the points w

Sholpan [36]

3x - 2y + 2 = 0 → -2y + 2 = -3x → -2y = -3x - 2 → y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 1

$\frac{3}{2}$ x - y + 3 = 0 → -y + 3 = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x → -y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x - 3 → y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 3

These two equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts so they are parallel lines. (aka inconsistent).

Answer: Inconsistent, (0, 1), (0, 3)

What are the critical points for g(θ) = 28θ − 7 tan θ

Lelechka [254]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Below is the solution:

g(θ) = 28θ − 7 tan θ
g'(θ) = 28 − 7 sec(θ)^2
0 = 4 - sec(θ)^2
4 = sec(θ)^2, when θ = ((6*n-1)*pi) / 3
