Ramen bought a two liter water jug. when he got home he discovered a leak in it. he found two half-gallon containers to transfer the water into. will the containers be able to hold the water?

Yes, the containers will be able to hold the water

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, note that 3.78 liters is 1 gallon.

So half a gallon container will have a capacity of  3.78/2 = 1.89 liters

Assuming Ramen had kept water in 2L jug full, so he would have 2L water (max).

There are 2 HALF-GALLON (1.89 liter) containers, so that would make the capacity be:

2 * 1.89 = 3.78 liters

Ramen would need to transfer, at max, 2 liters, so he is very safe and has enough capacity with the 2 half-gallon containers he has.

yes, the containers will be able to hold the water.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
