Answer(s):

1.) 56 gallons

2.) 7 gallons

3.) 28 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1: How much water can the tank hold?

Based on the question, we know that 3/4 of the tank equals 42 gallons. Divide 42 by the numerator, 3.

42/3 = 14

Now, multiply 14 by the denominator, 4.

14 x 4 = 56.

So, the tank can hold 56 gallons. [If you'd like to double check this answer, take the fraction 42/56 and simplify it to get 3/4.

Q2: How much water was originally in the tank?

We know that the tank's maximum capacity is 56 gallons. So, if it was 1/8 originally full, multiply 56 by 1/8. [Remember that 56 as a fraction can be written as 56/1]

1/8(56/1) = 7

This means that the tank was originally 7 gallons full. [If you'd like to double check this answer, take the fraction 1/8 and multiply the numerator and denominator by 7. This gets you 7/56, or 7 gallons out of the total capacity, 56 gallons.]

Q3: How much water is in the tank when it is 1/2 full?

Earlier, we found out that the maximum capacity of the tank is 56 gallons. To find out how many gallons it holds when its half full, divide 56 by 2.

56/2 = 28

So, when the tank is 1/2 full, it contains 28 gallons. [If you want to double check this answer, take the fraction 28/56 and simplify it. When you do, you get 1/2.]

The water tank holds 67.2 gallons, amount of water originally in the tank is 8.4 gallons and amount of water in the tank when it is 1/2 full is 33.6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the capacity of tank .

Amount of water in tank = $\frac{1}{8}x$

Now 42 gallons water is added to tank so, tank becomes 3/4 full of water .

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{8}x+42=\frac{3}{4}x$

$\Rightarrow 42=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{1}{8}x$

$\Rightarrow 42=\frac{5}{8}x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{42 \times 8}{5}=x$

$\Rightarrow 67.2 =x$

So, the water tank holds 67.2 gallons .

A water tank is 1/8 full

So, amount of water originally in the tank is $\frac{1}{8} \times 67.2 = 8.4 gallons$

Amount of water in the tank when it is 1/2 full = $\frac{1}{2} \times 67.2 = 33.6 gallons$

Hence the water tank holds 67.2 gallons, amount of water originally in the tank is 8.4 gallons and amount of water in the tank when it is 1/2 full is 33.6 gallons .

When booking personal travel by air, one is always interested in actually arriving at one’s final destination even if that arrival is a bit late. the key variables we can typically try to control are the number of flight connections we have to make in route, and the amount of layover time we allow in those airports whenever we must make a connection. the key variables we have less control over are whether any particular flight will arrive at its destination late and, if late, how many minutes late it will be. for this assignment, the following necessarily-simplified assumptions describe our system of interest: the number of connections in route is a random variable with a poisson distribution, with an expected value of 1. the number of minutes of layover time allowed for each connection is based on a random variable with a poisson distribution (expected value 2) such that the allowed layover time is 15*(x+1). the probability that any particular flight segment will arrive late is a binomial distribution, with the probability of being late of 50%. if a flight arrives late, the number of minutes it is late is based on a random variable with an exponential distribution (lamda = .45) such that the minutes late (always rounded up to 10-minute values) is 10*(x+1). what is the probability of arriving at one’s final destination without having missed a connection? use excel.
