A washing machine is filling up with water at a constant rate. The rate is 3/4 of a gallon in 1/5 of a minute. Don calculated the unit rate to be 3/20 of a gallon per minute. what did he do wrong?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: you have to see how many gallons fill the container per minute, so take 3/4 and divide it by 1/5, which gives 15/4. So he multiplied the two numbers instead of dividing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] gallon per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of gallon = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] gallon

Time taken  = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] min

Unknown:

The solution is [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] gallon per minute, what did he do wrong = ?

Solution:

To find the rate:

   Rate  = [tex]\frac{Quantity of gallon}{time }[/tex]

 Input the parameters and solve

  Rate  = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{5} }[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

                       Invert the [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]  to give 5

                  =  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x 5

                  = [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] gallon per minute

The student failed to invert the [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] before multiplying with  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Item 11 You buy 2.6 pounds of apples and 1.475 pounds of peaches. You hand the cashier a $20 bill. How much change will you receive? You will receive $ change.

Answers

Answer:

$14.90625

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion rate

$1 = 0.8 pounds

If you buy 2.6 pounds of apples and 1.475 pounds of peaches, the total cost of apple and peaches is expressed as:

= 2.6 pounds + 1.475 pounds

= 4.075 pounds

Convert to dollars

$1 = 0.8 pounds

$x = 4.075 pounds

cross multiply

0.8x = 4.075

x = 4.075/0.8

x = $5.09375

This means that the cost of the apple and peaches is $5.09375.

If you hand the cashier a $20 bill, the change that you will receive will be: $20 - $5.09375 = $14.90625

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my first time posting, so sorry if this isn't that clear.

Anyways:

We want to find the x-intercept, and the y-intercept. The x-intercept will always have 0 as y, and the y-intercept will always have 0 as x.

We can find the x-intercept by plugging in 0 as y. So:

x/4+0/12=1

x/4=1

x=4

a=4 (since a is equal to the x-intercept.)

We can find the y intercept by plugging in x as 0:

0/4+y/12=1

y/12=1

y=12

b=12

We can find the slope by using the equation y2-y1/x2-x1, but theres an easier way. Simplifying the original equation x/4+y/12=1 into y=--3x+12 immediatly gets us the slope of -3.

So, 12+4-3=13.

(In case you didn't know how I got y=-3x+12. This is how:

x/4+y/12=1

12(x/4+y/12)=1(12)

3x+y=12

y=-3x+12 )

Find The Value Of X When 6-2x = 6x-10x+6. The Value Is

Answers

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 6x - 10x + 6

1. Isolate the variable (x)

Add 2x to both sides

    6 - 2x = 6x - 10x + 6 -> 6 = 6x - 10x + 2x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides

    6x - 10x + 2x + 6 -> 0 = 6x - 10x + 2x

2. Combine like terms

      0 = 6x - 10x + 2x -> 0 = -2x

3. Solve

Divide both sides by -2

       0 = x

*Note: 0 divided by anything is 0 so 0/-2 is 0

(unless it is 0/0 which equals 1)

Answers

greetings i may be late but yes answer A is correct

Option A is correct, Because it is always the substance’s density divided by the density of water which is 1 g/cm 3

What is Density?

The density, or more precisely, the volumetric mass density, of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

Given that the value of a substance’s specific gravity always the same numerically as its density.

Because density has units and specific gravity is dimensionless, the two are never the same, but they are numerically equal when three conditions are met

Density is measured in grammes per cubic centimetre, grammes per millilitre, or kilogrammes per litre

Density and Specific Gravity are measured at the same temperature

Hence, option A is correct, Because it is always the substance’s density divided by the density of water which is 1 g/cm 3

A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC below is equal to the measure of the exterior angle.

Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 2: m∠p − m∠o = 90 degrees (alternate interior angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p
Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p

In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected? (4 points)

a
Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 90 degrees (corresponding angles)

b
Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 90 degrees (adjacent angles)

c
Step 2; it should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 degrees (alternate exterior angles)

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation::3*x+7*x-(9-18)=0

Solve::10x+9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation::10x = -9

Divide both sides of the equation by 10::x = -9/10 = -0.900

Answer:

x = -0.9

A purse is on sale for $25.60. If the original price of the purse was $32.00,what is the percent of discount?

Answers

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The dollar amount of the discount is $32.00 - $25.60 = $6.40

Now we need to find what percent of $32.00 is $6.40.

To find what percent a part is from a whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100%.

percent = part/whole * 100%

part = $6.40

whole = $32.00

percent = $6.40/$32.00 * 100%

percent = 20%
