Awater heater tank holds 280 gallons. two percent of the water is lost as steam. how many gallons remain to be used?

Hi!

The answer is 274.4 gallons of water remain to be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Rule of three to solve this problem.

     100% ----> 280 gallons  // If 100% is 280 gallons

     2% ----> x gallons  // then 2% would be x gallons.

Now, multiply 2% by 280 gallons and divide the result by 100%:

 // % divided by % is 1.

gallons losted as steam.

To calculate the gallons remain to be used:

280 gallons - 5.6 gallons = 274.4 gallons.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
