At its highest setting, jeds shower head releases 6.2 gallons of water per minute. Jed took a shower lasting 5 minutes and 12 seconds. What is the maximum amount of water Jed could have used?

32.24 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,Jed’s shower head releases

6.2 gallons = 1 minute

x gallon = 5 mins 12 secs

First convert 12 secs to minutes and add it to 5 mins .

1 minute = 60secs

x minute = 12 secs

x = 12/60

= 0.2 mins + 5 mins

= 5.2 mins

Therefore,

6.2 gallons = 1 minute

x gallons = 5.2 mins

Cross multiply

x = 6.2 x 5.2 /1

= 32.24/1

= 32.24 gallons

ou would have 12 of each

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
