A man with a seven gallon bucket and a four gallon bucket goes to a well to get exactly five gallons of water. He has no container other than the buckets. How can he do it?​

Answers

Answer 1
This I think could be technically answered in a couple of ways. Fill the 4 gallon bucket up and then fill the 7 gallon bucket up 1/7 of the way. Or fill the 4 gallon bucket up and transfer to the 7 gallon bucket and fill the 4 gallon bucket up 1/4 of the way. Either way the 1/4 or the 1/7 will be a close estimate to get your 5 gallon bucket. I hope this helps.

Answer:

100x + 150y = 3050

x + y = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

the other answer had the right start and equations, and then did not give the result.

so, here the full picture :

x + y = 23

100x + 150y = 3050

so, the first equation gives us

x = -y + 23

which we can now use in the second equation

100(-y + 23) + 150y = 3050

-100y + 2300 + 150y = 3050

50y = 750

y = 15 (15 adults)

x = -y + 23 = -15 + 23 = 8 (8 minors)

Answer: 1051.875 inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the briefcase, we'll use the formula: L*W*H where;

L = Length

W = Width

H = Height

So we'll have (16.5×12.75×5) inches^3

2. Theorem 2-10 states that through a point not on a line, there

is one and only one line parallel to the given line. How does this

justify the construction of the line through C that is parallel to

the line AB?

Answers

When two or more lines are parallel to each other, this implies that they do not meet even extending them till infinity. So the statement justifies the construction because only one line through point C can be constructed to be parallel to AB.

When a parallel line is constructed through a point to a given line, this is the only parallel line that can be drawn to the given line. Parallel lines are lines that will not meet at any point. Thus, only one parallel line can be constructed through a point not to a given line.

The construction of a line through C that is parallel to line AB is justified by the given statement in the theorem since this is the only parallel line to line AB that can be drawn through the point C. Any other line through C would intersect or meet line AB at a point when extended, thus would not be parallel to the given line.

4 people can trim a hedge in one hour.
How long would it take 3 people?
Give your answer in minutes.

Answers

4 people in 60 minutes =
1 person in 15 minutes

3 people = 45 minutes

Answer:

The total time taken by 3 men to trim the hedge would be 80 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The time taken by 4 men to trim the hedge is 1 hour or 60 min.

2) One me would take 4 times more time alone i.e. Time taken by only one man would be 4 hours or 240 min.

3) The time taken by 3 men would be 3 times less than time taken by one man i.e. 240/3=80 min.

#of people = 4

time taken for 4 ppl = 1hr / 60mins  

# of people = 3

time taken = 1/x

4 - 1/60

3 - 1/x

cross multiply

x=60/3*4

x=80

Answer:

GCF: (x + 2)(9x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the algebraic expression, 9x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2), where the greatest common factor (GCF) must be taken out:

Solution:

Since (x + 2) are common between the two groups, then we can group 9x and 6 together.

In other words:

= 9x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2)  

= (9x + 6)(x + 2)

If we perform the FOIL method onto (9x + 6)(x + 2), it will result in the following trinomial:

(9x + 6)(x + 2)

= 9x² + 18x + 6x + 12

= 9x² + 24x + 12

Verify Solution:

In order to see why this works, let's go back to the original problem, as if we're trying to determine the resulting trinomial:

Given:  9x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2)  

Distribute 9x and 6 into the parenthesis:

= 9x² + 18x + 6x + 12

Combine like terms:

= 9x² + 24x + 12    ⇒ As we can see, this trinomial matches our solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is: (x + 2)(9x + 6).
