Answer:
260 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,
Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%
Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9
Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:
26.5% of g = 68.9
26.5/100 × g = 68.9
0.265 × g = 68.9
0.265g = 68.9
Divide both side by 0.265
0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265
g= 260
260 gallons of water are used everyday
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the x be the number of hours after noon.
<u>We have the following equation:</u>
- 14.83 + 0.12(x + 3) = 15.33 - 0.15x
- 14.83 + 0.12x + 0.36 = 15.33 - 0.15x
- 0.12x + 0.15x = 15.33 - 15.19
- 0.27x = 0.14
- x = 0.14/0.27
- x ≈ 0.5
The answer is 7/4, 1 3/4 or 1.75
Since f(x) = -3x + 2, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).
Hence, the answer is (D).
