A small pool holds 950 gallons of water. If a pump removes 300 gallons of water in 6 minutes, what is the change in the amount of water in gallons in 1 minute?

31 answers

In 6 minutes, the pump removes 300 gallons, so in 1 minute, the pump removes 300 / 6 = <<300/6=50>>50 gallons.
The change in the amount of water in 1 minute is 50 gallons. Answer: \boxed{50}.
negative or postive?
The change in the amount of water in 1 minute is negative, since the pump is removing water from the pool.
A flying bird descends 200 feet in 5 minutes. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird's altitude. Remember the bird is DESCENDING.
The quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird's altitude is -40 feet per minute. This means that the bird's altitude is decreasing at a rate of 40 feet per minute.
Use division to convert 12 2/3 to a decimal.
To convert 12 2/3 to a decimal, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (12) by the denominator of the fraction (3), and then add the numerator (2) to that product.

12 x 3 = 36
36 + 2 = 38

So, 12 2/3 can be written as the improper fraction 38/3.

To convert this fraction to a decimal, we divide the numerator (38) by the denominator (3).

38 ÷ 3 = 12.666666667

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the decimal equivalent of 12 2/3 is approximately 12.67.
can it be written as 12.6?
Yes, 12 2/3 can be rounded to 12.6. However, it is important to note that 12.6 is an approximation and not an exact representation of the value.
Use division to convert 12 2/3 to a decimal.

≈ 12.47
≈ 1.213
To convert 12 2/3 to a decimal, we will divide the fraction by the denominator.
12 / 3 equals 4.
Next, we add the whole number 4 to the decimal form of the fraction, 2/3.
In decimal form, 2/3 is approximately equal to 0.6666667 when rounded to seven decimal places.
Thus, 4 + 0.6666667 equals approximately 4.6666667. Therefore, 12 2/3 is approximately equal to 12.67.
so which one?
Based on the calculations, the closest approximation for 12 2/3 as a decimal is 12.67.
Use long division to convert 5 3/12 to a decimal.
To convert 5 3/12 to a decimal using long division, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator of the fraction (12) and then add the numerator (3) to that product.

5 x 12 = 60
60 + 3 = 63

So, 5 3/12 can be written as the improper fraction 63/12.

Now, let's perform the long division to convert the fraction to a decimal:

5.25
-------------
12 | 63

First, we divide 12 into 63. The result is 5.

5.25
-------------
12 | 63
- 60
------
3

Next, we bring down the next digit, which is 0.

5.25
-------------
12 | 63
- 60
------
30

We continue dividing 12 into 30, and the result is 2.

5.25
-------------
12 | 63
- 60
------
30
- 24
-----
6

Finally, we bring down the next digit, which is 0. However, since we're dividing evenly and there are no more digits to bring down, the division ends.

Therefore, the decimal representation of 5 3/12 is 5.25.
What is 6.25 converted to a fraction? The answer should be in simplest form.
To convert 6.25 to a fraction, we can write it as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and the place value as the denominator. In this case, the decimal part 25 goes up to two decimal places, so the denominator will be 100.

Therefore, 6.25 can be written as 6.25/1.

To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25.

6.25/1 ÷ 25/1 = (6.25 ÷ 25)/(1 ÷ 25) = 0.25/0.04

To get rid of the decimal in the numerator, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100.

0.25/0.04 × 100/100 = 25/4

So, 6.25 as a fraction in simplest form is 25/4.
u sure?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's correct the previous answer.

To convert 6.25 to a fraction, we can write it as a fraction with the decimal part as the numerator and the place value as the denominator. In this case, the decimal part 25 goes up to two decimal places, so the denominator is 100.

Therefore, 6.25 can be written as 625/100.

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25.

625/100 ÷ 25/25 = (625 ÷ 25)/(100 ÷ 25) = 25/4

So, 6.25 as a fraction in simplest form is 25/4.

Deep Lake has a depth of 90ft. Lake Okeechobee is 2/15 as deep. What is the elevation at the BOTTOM of Lake Okeechobee? (Remember, the elevation is BELOW sea level).
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee, we need to calculate 2/15 of the depth of Deep Lake.

Deep Lake has a depth of 90 ft.

2/15 of 90 ft can be calculated by multiplying 90 by (2/15):

90 * (2/15) = 12 ft

Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee, which is 2/15 as deep as Deep Lake, is 12 ft below sea level.
postive or negative?
The elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee is negative. It is 12 feet below sea level, indicating a below-ground or underwater location relative to sea level.
In a furniture store, 2/6 of the couches are gray. 1/4 of the gray couches are on sale. What fraction of the couches are both gray and on sale?
To find the fraction of couches that are both gray and on sale, we need to multiply the fractions representing the proportion of gray couches and the proportion of gray couches on sale.

2/6 of the couches are gray, which can be simplified to 1/3.

1/4 of the gray couches are on sale.

To find the fraction that represents both of these conditions being true, we multiply 1/3 by 1/4:

(1/3) * (1/4) = 1/12

Therefore, 1/12 of the couches are both gray and on sale.
Multiply - 2 1/3 by 6.
*
To multiply -2 1/3 by 6, first, let's convert the mixed number -2 1/3 to an improper fraction.

-2 1/3 can be written as -7/3 as an improper fraction.

Next, we can multiply -7/3 by 6:

(-7/3) * 6 = -42/3

To simplify the result, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

-42/3 ÷ 3/3 = (-42 ÷ 3) / (3 ÷ 3) = -14/1

Thus, -2 1/3 multiplied by 6 equals -14.
