Answer 1

Answer:

36-ounce

Further explanation

Given:

Jack, Jill, and Bill each carried a 48-ounce bucket full of water down the hill.

By the time they reached the bottom:

Jacks bucket was only ³/₄ full.
Jill's was ²/₃ full, and
Bill's was ⁵/₆ full.

Question:

How much water did they spill altogether on their way down the hill?

The Process:

Notice the denominator of the Jack fraction is 4. We divide 48 by 4 to make four sections of 12 units each.
Notice the denominator of the Jill fraction is 3. We divide 48 by 3 to make three sections of 16 units each.
Notice the denominator of the Bill fraction is 6. We divide 48 by 6 to make six sections of 8 units each.

Let us make each scheme as below:

Jack's: $\boxed{12}\boxed{12}\boxed{12}\boxed{12}$
Jill's: $\boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16}$
Bill's: $\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}$

At Jack's:

3 out of 4 parts are full, or 3 x 12 = 36-ounce
the remaining 1 out of 4 parts is spilled, or 1 x 12 = 12-ounce.

At Jill's:

2 out of 3 parts are full, or 2 x 16 = 32-ounce
the remaining 1 out of 3 parts is spilled, or 1 x 16 = 16-ounce.

At Bill's:

5 out of 6 parts are full, or 5 x 8 = 40-ounce
the remaining 1 out of 6 parts is spilled, or 1 x 8 = 8-ounce.

Finally, let's count the amount of water they spilled together.

$\boxed{ \ 12 + 16 + 8 = 36 \ }$

Thus, the amount of water they spilled together on their way down the hill is 36-ounce.

A car painting company has determined that the painting time of cars is uniformly distributed between 25 and 105 minutes. What is the probability that it will take between 40 and 65 minutes for that company to paint a car

Answers

Answer:

$P=(5)/(16)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a uniform distribution we have to:

$P (X\leq x) =(x-a)/(b-a)$ for x∈ (a, b)

$P (X\leq x) =0}$ for $x\leq a$

$P (X\leq x) =1}$ for $x\geq b$

In this case we have to:

a = 25 min and b = 105 min

We want to find:

$P (40 \leq X \leq 65)$

Then

$P (x_1 \leq X \leq x_2) = P(X \leq x_2) - P(X \leq x_1)$

$P (x_1 \leq X \leq x_2)= (x_2 -x_1)/(b-a)$

In this case:

$x_2 = 65\n\nx_1=40$

Therefore:

$P (40 \leq X \leq 65)=(65 -40)/(105-25)$

$P (40 \leq X \leq 65)=(25)/(80)$

$P (40 \leq X \leq 65)=(5)/(16)$

What the question is asking is at what time will the container and thetank have the same amount if water. I would divide 340 by two then calculate how much of the answer goes into six. And then you should have your answer

The correct answer is H. Think of the answer as the two tanks themselves, with the left side being the tank leaking water and the right side of the equation being the empty tank water is coming into. The leaking tank started with 340 liters, and is leaking at a rate of 6 liters every minute (6x). So the left side of the equation (our leaking tank) can be modeled by 340-6x. The right side of the equation (the tank being filled) had no water to start, and is taking all the water that leaks out of the original tank, so 6x. Hence, 340-6x=6x
