It will take___hours to fill the pool using both pipes.

Write an equation that expresses the relationship describe below. Use K as the constant of variation h varies directly as g.

An equation that expresses this relationship is ______.

A tree cast a shadow 27feet long. At the same time, a vertical rod 8 feet high costs a shadow 6 feet long. How tall is the tree?_____.

Answer provided by our tutors

(1) Time: x

So 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/x, we solve it, x = 2

So  it takes 2 hours using both pipes to fill the pool

(2)

An equation that expresses this relationship is h = K*g

(3)

The height of tree is x

So

8/6 = x/27

x = 36

So  the height of tree is 36 ft
