- The time required to empty a pool varies inversely as the rate of pumping. It took Lucy 2.5 hours to empty her pool using a pump that was rated at 400 gpm (gallons per minute). a. Write the equation of variation. b. How long will it take her to empty the pool using a pump rated at 500 gpm?arrow_forwardThe force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. If Tom uses 20 pounds of pressure to break a 1 .5-foot long board, how many pounds of pressure would he need to use to break a 6 foot long board?arrow_forwardThe distance a moving body travels, d, varies directly with time, t, it moves. A train travels 100 miles in 2 hours a. Write the equation that relates d and t. b. How many miles would it travel in 5 hours?arrow_forward
- Solve the equation for the indicated variable. wd=rTH; for Tarrow_forwardThe distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls. A ball falls 144 feet in 3 seconds. a. Write the equation that relates the distance to the time. b. How far will an object fall in 4 seconds?arrow_forwardThe number of hours it takes for ice to melt varies inversely with the air temperature. Suppose a block of ice melts in 2 hours when the temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. (a) Write the equation of variation. (b) How many hours would it take for the same block of ice to melt if the temperature was 78 degrees?arrow_forward
- A landscaping company is hired to mow the grass for several large properties. The total area of the properties combined is 1,350 acres. The rate at which one person can mow is as follows: Ŷ = -1.8X + 1350Where X is the number of hours and Ŷ represents the number of acres left to mow.a. How many acres will be left to mow after 40 hours of work by one person?b. How many acres will be left to mow after 100 hours of work by one person? (now you see why you need a large crew to mow many acres!)arrow_forwardFind the value of tarrow_forwardA landscaping company is hired to mow the grass for several large properties.

- Valencia works as a car salesperson. She made $200,000 in sales one week. Valencia's sales amount increased 1.5% each week for the next 12 weeks. Which equation calculates A, the amount of Valencia's sales after 12 weeks? A = 200,000 - 0.01512 |3D A= 200,000 · 1.01512 A = 200,000 - 121.5 A= 200,000 · 1.1512arrow_forwardCR3. An object is launched at 19.6 meters per second (m/s) from a platform. The equation for the object's height s at time t seconds after launch is s(t) = -4.9t? + 19.6t + 58.8, where s is in meters. Answer the following questions based on this information. a. How high is the object after 1 second? b. How tall is the platform? c. When does the object hit the ground? d. What is the maximum height of the object? e. When does it reach its maximum height? f. When is the object 20 meters high?arrow_forwardCaps are in high demand among the audience at the race and so the 2 organizers decide to put a stall that sells caps. The number of caps (n) and the total cost (c in dollars is related by the equation, c= 8n. Find the unit rate of the cap. A group comes and buys 15 caps, Find the amount that they should payiarrow_forward
