An above-ground swimming pool is leaking. after 1/2 house the pool has leaked 7/8 of a gallon of water. how many gallons of water per hour is the swimming pool leaking?

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate in gallons/hour is ...

... (7/8 gal)/(1/2 h) = 7/4 gal/h = 1 3/4 gal/h

Simplifying compound fractions

The compound fraction can be simplified by multiplying numerator and denominator fractions by 2. Doing that makes the numerator fraction be 7/4 and the denominator fraction be 1. (7/4)/1 = 7/4.

You can also "invert and multiply", giving (7/8)×(2/1) = 7/4.

Or, you can make the denominator fraction be 4/8, so it has the same denominator as the numerator fraction. Then ...

... (7/8)/(4/8) = 7/4

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
