Water is a valuable resource that can easily be wasted. In this task you will
Investigate how much water the average American uses each day. You will then
Investigate how much water a family of 4 could save using different strategies,
According to some estimates, the average American uses 80-100 gallons of water
daily. Of this total, the average American uses about:
• 27% by flushing toilets
• 25% while taking showers/baths
• 10% by running the faucet while brushing teeth, washing hands, and shaving
Water is also used for various other purposes (cooking, drinking water, watering
plants, washing clothes, etc.) that account for the remaining percentage of water
used by the average American.
Table 1 shows the average amount of water used during some activities,
Table 1. Water Used by Activity and Duration

*There is no standard definition of the volume of a faucet drip, but the USGS
Water Science School uses militer (ML) as the volume of a faucet drip. So, by
these drip estimates:
• One gallon = 15,140 drips
• One liter = 4,000 drips
1)What percentage of the average American's daily water usage is
described as "various other purposes"?

Waylon is back-to-school shopping with his mom at a large department
store. He's picked out the following items: 3 pair of pants for $87 total, 4 t-shirts
for $48 total, 1 backpack for $35, 1 hoodie for $26, 1 pair of shoes for $37.
When they get to the register, they see this sign:

Answers

Answer:

Waylon's Purchase will cost $198.05, and section B depends.

Explanation: Section A is 85% of 233 since thats the total, making the answer to section A $198.05. The answer to section B depends because if he wants more school supplies, then yes, he would want to buy more things for better deals. But if he’s on a budget, then he wouldn't want to spend as much money since saving 20% on something over $300 is more than saving 15% on something over $200.

Answer:

B, you would save 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

87+48+35+26+37 = 233

and its over $200, so that means you would save 15%

2.) There are three nickels, four dimes, and four quarters in your pocket. You randomly pick three coins and place them on a counter. The first coin is a nickel, the second is a dime, and the third is a quarter.

A..3/110,

b.8/165,

c. 1/64,

d.10/273

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total coins = 11 ( 3 + 4 + 4 = 11).

The probability of picking a nickel first = 3/11 ( 4 nickels out of 11 total).

The probability of picking a dime second = 4/10 = 2/5 ( 3 dimes out of 10 coins left).

The probability of picking the third coin as a quarter = 4/9 ( 3 quarters out of 9 coins left).

The probability of picking all three in that order = 3/11 x 2/5 x 4/9 = 8/165

x=-4, y=-6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the value of x so

x+2=-2

-2 -2

x=-4

now plug the value of x, in the second equation

-3(-4)+2y=-1

12+2y=-1

minus 12 from both sides

12+2y=-1

-12 -12

2y=-13

divide by 2 to get the value of y
