a water pump moves 330 gallons of water in 22 minuets. What is the unit rate of gallons per minute?

___ gallons per minutes

11 answers

To find the unit rate of gallons per minute, divide the total gallons of water by the total minutes.

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total gallons}}{\text{Total minutes}} = \frac{330 \text{ gallons}}{22 \text{ minutes}} = 15 \text{ gallons per minute}. \]

So, the unit rate is 15 gallons per minute.

__ kilograms per minute

To determine the kilograms of fruit crushed in one minute, you will divide the total kilograms of fruit by the time in minutes.

Given:

  • Total weight of fruit = \( 3 \frac{1}{3} \) kilograms
  • Time = \( \frac{3}{4} \) minutes

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

First, convert \( 3 \frac{1}{3} \) to an improper fraction:

\[ 3 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ kilograms} \]

Step 2: Set up the division

Now we need to find out how many kilograms are crushed in one minute, which is given by:

\[ \text{Kilograms per minute} = \frac{\text{Total kilograms}}{\text{Time in minutes}} = \frac{\frac{10}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}} \]

Step 3: Dividing fractions

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

\[ \frac{\frac{10}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{10 \times 4}{3 \times 3} = \frac{40}{9} \]

Step 4: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number

To convert \( \frac{40}{9} \) to a mixed number:

  1. Divide 40 by 9, which goes 4 times (because \( 9 \times 4 = 36 \)).
  2. The remainder is \( 40 - 36 = 4 \).

So,

\[ \frac{40}{9} = 4 \frac{4}{9} \]

Conclusion

The answer in kilograms per minute is

\[ \boxed{4 \frac{4}{9}} \text{ kilograms per minute} \]

Process Used

The most appropriate process from your options is: d. \( 3 \frac{1}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} \) (though remember we actually computed it as \( \frac{10}{3} \div \frac{3}{4} \)).

it takes 76 gallons of water to produce 4 ounces of oatmeal. complete the table
_______________________________________________
| Ounces of oatmeal | Gallons of water |
|________________________|______________________ |
| 2 | 38 |
|________________________|_____________________ |
| 4 | 76 |
|________________________|______________________ |
| 10 | __ |
|________________________|______________________ |
| __ | 304 |
|________________________|_____________________ |

To complete the table with the given information (76 gallons of water for 4 ounces of oatmeal), we can first determine the relationship between ounces of oatmeal and gallons of water.

Step 1: Find the unit rate

From the data, we know:

  • 4 ounces of oatmeal requires 76 gallons of water.

To find the amount of water needed for one ounce of oatmeal, divide the gallons of water by the ounces of oatmeal:

\[ \text{Gallons per ounce} = \frac{76 \text{ gallons}}{4 \text{ ounces}} = 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} \]

Step 2: Fill in the table

For 10 ounces of oatmeal

Using the unit rate: \[ \text{Gallons for 10 ounces} = 10 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} = 190 \text{ gallons} \]

For 304 gallons of water

Using the unit rate in the reverse direction: \[ \text{Ounces for 304 gallons} = \frac{304 \text{ gallons}}{19 \text{ gallons per ounce}} = 16 \text{ ounces} \]

Final Completed Table

Here’s the completed table:

| Ounces of oatmeal | Gallons of water | |--------------------|------------------| | 2 | 38 | | 4 | 76 | | 10 | 190 | | 16 | 304 |

So, the missing values are:

  • For 10 ounces: 190 gallons
  • For 304 gallons: 16 ounces

It appears that you are presenting a coordinate grid with certain points marked on it. Let's denote the points given:

  • Point A is represented at coordinates \( (x_1, 4) \)
  • Point B is represented at coordinates \( (x_2, 8) \)
  • Point C is located at the top right end of the graph, likely at \( (12, y) \)

Step 1: Identify Coordinates of A, B, and C

From the grid for Points A, B, and C:

  • Point A (marked at y = 4): It appears that Point A is not explicitly stated but is along the y-axis at \( y = 4 \). It's not clear from the grid where Point A is on the x-axis based on how you’ve described it.
  • Point B (marked at y = 8): Similarly to Point A, we would also need the x-coordinate of point B to define it completely.
  • Point C: It is at \( y = 12\) but requires the x-axis coordinate as well.

Step 2: Determine Specific Coordinates

In order to discuss the coordinates properly, we need to infer or define specific x-values for A, B, and C. Here's how you could theoretically extract their coordinates assuming it was formatted in a way that follows a standard grid:

  • If Point A is halfway to the left on the grid, it could, for example, be at \( (6, 4) \).
  • If Point B is somewhere near the middle, it might be at \( (6, 8) \).
  • If Point C is at the upper right end of the graph, it could be at \( (12, 12) \).

Conclusion

Assuming the points you provided can be indicated in more detail:

  • Point A \((x_1, 4)\) where \(x_1\) is determined from the graph
  • Point B \((x_2, 8)\) where \(x_2\) is determined from the graph
  • Point C \((12, 12)\)

If you can specify the x-coordinates for Points A, B, and C or provide additional context, we can calculate slopes, distances, or any other necessary information related to these points on the Cartesian coordinate system!

a is coordinated at (4,12) b is at (8,24) and c (12,36)

Thank you for providing the coordinates for points A, B, and C.

  • Point A: \( (4, 12) \)
  • Point B: \( (8, 24) \)
  • Point C: \( (12, 36) \)

1. Finding the Slope Between Points A and B:

To find the slope between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), you use the formula:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

For points A and B:

  • \( (x_1, y_1) = (4, 12) \)
  • \( (x_2, y_2) = (8, 24) \)

Calculating the slope:

\[ \text{slope}_{AB} = \frac{24 - 12}{8 - 4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \]

2. Finding the Slope Between Points B and C:

For points B and C:

  • \( (x_1, y_1) = (8, 24) \)
  • \( (x_2, y_2) = (12, 36) \)

Calculating the slope:

\[ \text{slope}_{BC} = \frac{36 - 24}{12 - 8} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \]

3. Finding the Equation of the Line:

Since both slopes are equal, points A, B, and C are collinear. We can also derive the equation of the line formed by these points using the point-slope form of a linear equation:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

You can use point A \((4, 12)\) for this purpose, with a slope \(m = 3\):

\[ y - 12 = 3(x - 4) \]

Expanding this:

\[ y - 12 = 3x - 12 \]

Adding 12 to both sides leads to:

\[ y = 3x \]

4. Verification:

  • For Point A \((4, 12)\): \[ y = 3(4) = 12 \quad \text{(Correct)} \]

  • For Point B \((8, 24)\): \[ y = 3(8) = 24 \quad \text{(Correct)} \]

  • For Point C \((12, 36)\): \[ y = 3(12) = 36 \quad \text{(Correct)} \]

Conclusion:

The coordinates of the points are \((4, 12)\), \((8, 24)\), and \((12, 36)\). The equation of the line passing through these points is:

\[ \boxed{y = 3x} \]

You can apply this information in various contexts such as finding points on the line or verifying points if presented with new coordinates!

the simplified form of the ratio of downloads to web visits is:
__to__
__:__
__ as a fraction

To determine the simplified form of the ratio of downloads to web visits based on the coordinates provided, we can use the points A, B, and C that you previously defined:

  • Point A: \( (4, 12) \)
  • Point B: \( (8, 24) \)
  • Point C: \( (12, 36) \)

Download (y-value) and Web Visits (x-value) correspond to the points as follows:

  1. For Point A: 4 downloads and 12 web visits
  2. For Point B: 8 downloads and 24 web visits
  3. For Point C: 12 downloads and 36 web visits

Finding the Ratios

Ratio of downloads to web visits for each point:

  1. Point A: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{4 \text{ (downloads)}}{12 \text{ (web visits)}} \]

  2. Point B: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{8 \text{ (downloads)}}{24 \text{ (web visits)}} \]

  3. Point C: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{12 \text{ (downloads)}}{36 \text{ (web visits)}} \]

Simplifying the Ratio

For Point A: \[ \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} \] So the ratio is: \[ 1 \text{ to } 3 \]

For Point B: \[ \frac{8}{24} = \frac{1}{3} \] So the ratio is: \[ 1 \text{ to } 3 \]

For Point C: \[ \frac{12}{36} = \frac{1}{3} \] So the ratio is: \[ 1 \text{ to } 3 \]

Conclusion

The simplified form of the ratio of downloads to web visits is:

\[ \boxed{1 \text{ to } 3} \text{ or } \frac{1}{3} \]

This indicates that for every 1 download, there are 3 web visits across all points.
