Answer: 240 liters
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = capacity of barrel in liters
This value of x is some positive real number. It represents the most amount of water the barrel can hold.
The problem states that the barrel is 2/3 full to start with. This means, we start off with (2/3)x liters of water. Then we subtract off 60 of them to get to 5/12 full, meaning we have (5/12)x liters left.
We can form this equation
(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x
Multiply both sides by 12 to clear out the fractions
(2/3)x - 60 = (5/12)x
12*( (2/3)x - 60 ) = 12*(5/12)x
12*(2/3)x - 12*60 = 12*(5/12)x
8x - 720 = 5x
From here we solve for x
8x - 5x = 720
3x = 720
x = 720/3
x = 240
The barrel's full capacity is 240 liters
--------------------------
Check:
2/3 of 240 = (2/3)*240 = 160
The barrel starts off with 160 liters of water inside.
We then use 60 of them to be left with 160-60 = 100 liters
Note how 100/240 = (5*20)/(12*20) = 5/12, showing that 100 liters out of 240 total reduces to the fraction 5/12. In other words, when we say "5/12 full" we mean 100 liters full. This helps confirm we have the right answer.

What is the Area of this irregular shape?dfgju i
Answer:
The area of the irregular shape is 20 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of an Irregular Shape
Some shapes do not have regular shapes like squares, circles, triangles, etc. where well-known formulas can be applied to calculate their areas.
We have to calculate the area of the shape provided in the figure. We have divided the shape into three rectangles (see figure below). The total area of the irregular shape is:
A = A1 + A2 + A3
The first rectangle has dimensions 2 cm by 1 cm, thus its area is:
A1 = 1 cm * 2 cm = 2 square cm
The second rectangle has dimensions 2 cm by 3 cm, thus its area is:
A2 = 2 cm * 3 cm = 6 square cm
The third rectangle has dimensions 3 cm by 4 cm, thus its area is:
A3 = 3 cm * 4 cm = 12 square cm
The total area is:
A = 2 square cm + 6 square cm + 12 square cm = 20 square cm
The area of the irregular shape is 20 square cm

The answer is 4 because when simplifying the top of the fraction it equals to 24 and the bottom is 6 so when dividing it equals 4.
Elise says, "If you subtract 18 from my number and multiply the difference by - 3, the result is
- 33." What is Elise's number?
Elise's number is 29.
If you think of multiplying a value by -3 to get -33, it would obviously be 11.
So in this case, you would want to add 18 to 11 to get Elise's number, which is 29. Subtracting 18 from 29 would get you back to the value of 11, which you can then multiply it by -3 again to get -33.
for a school fundraiser troy sold 28 bags of popcorn and 40 candy bars and made 282. jake sold 17 bags of popcorn and 20 candy bars and made 160.50. what was the cost of a bag of popcorn
Answer:
$6.50 per bag of popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b
28p + 40b = $282
17p + 20b = $160.50
this is an example of simultaneous equations
so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b = $321
subtract the equations to give one -- > 6p = $39
divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50
Find the angle with the smallest measure in △ VUW. Name the angle using three letters
Answer:
∠VUW
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is a three sided polygon with three angles. Types of triangles are obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.
In triangle VUW, since VU = WU, hence it is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides of the triangle are equal.
The size of an angle depends on its opposite side, the higher the opposite side the higher the angle. Since In triangle VUW, VU = 9, WU = 9, VW = 5. Since VW is the smallest side, the angle opposite to VW is the smallest angle.
Hence the smallest angle = ∠VUW

A home purchased for $120,000 in 2012 is sold for $156,000 in 2015. What is the percent increase in the price?
Answer:
30% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the difference between the prices:
156,000 - 120,000
= 36,000
Then, find what percent this is of the original price:
36,000/120,000
= 0.3
So, the percent increase is 30%
