Awater tank holds 992 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week . a second water tank holds 1,240 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 9 gallons per week . after how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same

62 week

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need is to represent the ratios in expression

For example if we have 992 gallons and the leaking is 5 gallons per week, the expression for the gallons after every week is

992-5x

x is the weeks

And the other case the expressions is

1240-9x

The question is the weeks for the amount being the same, then every equation can be equal to Y and it represent the same amount

992-5x=y

1240-9x=y

in both the y is the same, then

992-5x=1240-9x

992-1240=-9x+5x

-248=-4x

-248/-4=x

62=X

and that is the weeks we need for the amount being the same in both tanks

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles

a. 12.5 kg

step-by-step explanation:

f = ma

so

m = f/a = (2500 n)/(200 m/s²) = 12.5 kg

1 n = 1 kg·m/s²
