A rainwater was 2/3 full of water. After 60 liters of water were used from the barrel, it was 5/12 full. How much water does the barrel hold when full?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  240 liters

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = capacity of barrel in liters

This value of x is some positive real number. It represents the most amount of water the barrel can hold.

The problem states that the barrel is 2/3 full to start with. This means, we start off with (2/3)x liters of water. Then we subtract off 60 of them to get to 5/12 full, meaning we have (5/12)x liters left.

We can form this equation

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

Multiply both sides by 12 to clear out the fractions

(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x

12*( (2/3)x - 60 ) = 12*(5/12)x

12*(2/3)x - 12*60 = 12*(5/12)x

8x - 720 = 5x

From here we solve for x

8x - 5x = 720

3x = 720

x = 720/3

x = 240

The barrel's full capacity is 240 liters

--------------------------

Check:

2/3 of 240 = (2/3)*240 = 160

The barrel starts off with 160 liters of water inside.

We then use 60 of them to be left with 160-60 = 100 liters

Note how 100/240 = (5*20)/(12*20) = 5/12, showing that 100 liters out of 240 total reduces to the fraction 5/12. In other words, when we say "5/12 full" we mean 100 liters full. This helps confirm we have the right answer.

Elise says, "If you subtract 18 from my number and multiply the difference by - 3, the result is
- 33." What is Elise's number?

Answers

Elise's number is 29.

If you think of multiplying a value by -3 to get -33, it would obviously be 11.

So in this case, you would want to add 18 to 11 to get Elise's number, which is 29. Subtracting 18 from 29 would get you back to the value of 11, which you can then multiply it by  -3 again to get -33.

Find the angle with the smallest measure in △ VUW. Name the angle using three letters

Answers

Answer:

∠VUW

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three angles. Types of triangles are obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

In triangle VUW, since VU = WU, hence it is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides of the triangle are equal.

The size of an angle depends on its opposite side, the higher the opposite side the higher the angle. Since In triangle VUW, VU = 9, WU = 9, VW = 5. Since VW is the smallest side, the angle opposite to VW is the smallest angle.

Hence the smallest angle = ∠VUW

for a school fundraiser troy sold 28 bags of popcorn and 40 candy bars and made 282. jake sold 17 bags of popcorn and 20 candy bars and made 160.50. what was the cost of a bag of popcorn

Answers

Answer:

$6.50 per bag of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b

28p + 40b = $282

17p + 20b = $160.50

this is an example of simultaneous equations

so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b = $321

subtract the equations to give one -- >  6p = $39

divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50

What is the Area of this irregular shape?dfgju i

Answers

Answer:

The area of the irregular shape is 20 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of an Irregular Shape

Some shapes do not have regular shapes like squares, circles, triangles, etc. where well-known formulas can be applied to calculate their areas.

We have to calculate the area of the shape provided in the figure. We have divided the shape into three rectangles (see figure below). The total area of the irregular shape is:

A = A1 + A2 + A3

The first rectangle has dimensions 2 cm by 1 cm, thus its area is:

A1 = 1 cm * 2 cm = 2 square cm

The second rectangle has dimensions 2 cm by 3 cm, thus its area is:

A2 = 2 cm * 3 cm = 6 square cm

The third rectangle has dimensions 3 cm by 4 cm, thus its area is:

A3 = 3 cm * 4 cm = 12 square cm

The total area is:

A = 2 square cm + 6 square cm + 12 square cm = 20 square cm

The area of the irregular shape is 20 square cm
