A camel can drink 15 gallons of water in 10 minutes. At this rate, how much water can the camel drink in 6 minutes?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A camel drinks water in 10 minutes = 15 gallons

So,

Water drank by the camel in 1 minute =

So, Water drank by the camel in 6 minutes

= ( × 6) gallons

= 1.5 × 6 gallons

= 9 gallons

Hence,

Amount of water drank by the camel in 6 minutes is 9 gallons of water. (Ans)

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
