3. %.
Paul says that the grids show 150%.
Rebecca says that they show 75%
How could each be correct?

9514 1404 393

  Paul is using 1 grid = 100%; Rebecca is using 2 grids = 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that a full grid and half of another are shaded.

If 1 grid is taken to be 100%, then the total amount shaded is 100% +50% = 150%, as Paul says.

If the two full grids are taken to be 100%, then the full shaded grid is 50% of the total, and the additional half-shaded grid is 25% of the total. That makes a total of 50% +25% = 75% of the total being shaded, as Rebecca says.

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
