MEDAL AND FAN FOR ALGEBRA 1 QUESTIONS.

Harris has two pipes to fill his aquarium. Pipe A can fill the aquarium at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. Pipe B can fill the aquarium at the rate of 840 liters per hour.

[1 gallon = 3.79 liters]

Answer 1

Part A: Which pipe will fill the aquarium faster? Justify your answer by comparing the rates after converting to the same units. (5 points)

Part B: If the total volume of the aquarium was 500 gallons and you checked on how full it was every 0.25 hours, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the faster pipe fills the aquarium. (5 points)

Answer 2

Okay for part 1, the answer will be pipe A.
4*3.79 = 15.16 liters/minute
15.16*60 = 909.6 liters/hour

Answer 3

omg thank you so much.
Can you help me with Part B too ?

Answer 4

Okay, I'll see if I can :)

Answer 5

Thank you so much

Answer 6

Okay, so we're given:
total volume of tank = 500 gallons
check every 0.25 hours = 15 minutes
Pipe A = 909.6 liters/hour

Answer 7

ok ill help u hold up a second

Answer 8

500*3.79 = 1895 liters
909.6/4 = 227.4 liters/minute

Answer 9

1895/227.4 = 8.333...
So this means it takes a little over 8 minutes to fill the tank

Answer 10

Is it asking for the answer or is it asking for what the graph would look like ?

Answer 11

What the graph would look like, since it's asking for the scale

Answer 12

So your x-axis should go by a scale of 1 minute and your y-axis should go by a scale of about 227 liters

Answer 13

or would it be 20 30 60 for the y axis and 15 minutes for the x axis

Answer 14

Where did the 20 30 60 come from?

Answer 15

I dont even know im so confused lol

Answer 16

If you plot on a scale of 15 minutes, you'd only have one point

Answer 17

15 , 30 , 45

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

Winnie poured 14 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 13 inches by 7 inches by 6 centimeters.

[1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm]

Part A: What is the maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold? Show your work. (3 points)

Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container? (3 points)

Part C: What was the height of the water in the container? Show your work. (4 points)

Answer 23

so The answer is 7.6inches

Answer 24

can i get a medal?
