one tank is filling at a rate of 3\4 gallon per 2\3 minute.a second tank is filling at a rate of 5/8 gallon per 1/2 minute. which tank is filling faster

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: It needs to be changed to common denominators which would be 6/8 x 4/6 which is 6/8 every 40 min and 5/8 every 30 min so they are the same

Answer 2

Answer: To start this, id recommend just calculating each tank at different time intervals to see which is filling faster.
Let's start at 2 minutes since it's an even number for both scenarios.

Tank A: 3/4 gallon every 2/3 minutes. So for each 2/3 of a minute, we get 3/4 of liquid. So how many 2/3 of a minute are in 2 minutes? The answer is 3 because 2 minutes is the same as 6/3 minutes and 2/3 minutes goes into 6/3 minutes 3 times. So in 2 minutes you get 3 units of the rate. so That's 3/4 + 3/4 +3/4 = 9/4 = 2 1/4 gallons in two minutes.

Tank B: 5/8 gallon per 1/2 a minute. So after 2 minutes we will have 4 units of the rate: 5/8+5/8+5/8+5/8 = 20/8 = 2 4/8= 2 1/2

Since 2 1/2 is more, the second rate is filling faster.

Volume formula of a sphere:

given:
r = 3

V = $(4)/(3)$ $\pi$ (3)³
V = $(4)/(3)$ × 27 $\pi$
V = 36 $\pi$ units³ (in terms of $\pi$ )
V = 113.097 units³ ≈ 113.1 units³

How much would a bike cost if it were marked down 15% from its original price of $289?

Answers

$245.65 all I did was find 15% and subtract it from the price

15 percent of $289.00 $43.35 so $289 minus $43.35 equals $245.65

What is the correct order of the following numbers from least to greater?
2/3, -0.6, 0.65, 4/5

Answers

we can either convert them to decimals or to fractions
if decimals
2/3=0.66666666
4/5=8/10=0.8
so the order is
-0.6, 0.65, 0.66, 0.8 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 4/5

if conver to fractions then
since -0.6 is negative, it is smallest, no need to convert
0.65=65 hundreths=65/100
2/3=66/99=prety close
4/5=8/10=80/100
order is
-0.6, 65/100, 66/99, 80/100 or
-0.6, 0.65, 2/3, 0.8

2/3 = 0.66

Now lets see....

4/5 = 0.8

Answer: -0.6 , 0.65, 2/3, 4/5
