Ashley is the utilities manager at a paper mill. she’s watching over one of her holding tanks. it takes 4/5 of an hour to fill 1/2 the tank. at this rate, how many holding tanks will she fill in 1 hour?

she will fill 5/8 of the tank in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley is the utilities manager at a paper mill. She’s watching over one of her holding tanks. It takes 4/5 of an hour to fill 1/2 the tank

First we convert 4/5 of an hour in to minutes

4/5 * 60 = 48 minutes

In 48 minutes ----> 1/2 tank filled

In 60 minutes ----> 60 * 1/2 divide by 48

30 divide by 48=

Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 6

30/48 = 5/8

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
