The time t (in hours) that it takes a pump to empty a tank of water varies inversely with the pumping rate r (in gallons per hour). if it takes 9 hours to empty a tank of water when the pumping rate is 60 gallons per hour, how long does it take to empty the tank when the pumping rate is 180 gallons per hour?

Step-by-step explanation:

The time t (in hours) that it takes a pump to empty a tank of water varies inversely with the pumping rate r (in gallons per hour).

where k is a constant.

It takes 9 hours to empty a tank of water when the pumping rate is 60 gallons per hour.

We need to find how long does it take to empty the tank when the pumping rate is 180 gallons per hour ( r = 180)

We have

It takes 3 hours to empty the tank when the pumping rate is 180 gallons per hour.

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
