Bobby, Rachel, and Sherry are going to have a water battle. - Bobby fills his bucket at a rate of 3/4 gallon in 2 minutes.
- Rachel can fill her bucket at 1/5 gallon in 1/2 minute.
- Sherry can fill 3/8 gallon in 3/4 minute.

Order from fastest to slowest.

The order is

Sherry >> Rachel>>Bobby

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

We want to find the smallest unit rate

given data

1. Bobby fills his bucket at a rate of 3/4 gallon in 2 minutes.

unit rate

=3/4/2

=3/4*1/2

=3/8

=0.375 gallons per minute

2. Rachel can fill her bucket at 1/5 gallon in 1/2 minute.

unit rate

=1/5/1/2

=1/5*2/1

=2/5

=0.4 gallons per minute

3.  Sherry can fill 3/8 gallon in 3/4 minute.

unit rate

=3/8/3/4

=3/8*4/3

=12/24

=0.5 gallons per minute

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
