A watering can contained 5 1/2 quarts water. After all the plants were watered, only 4 cups remained. How many cups of water were used to water the plants?

4 1/2 quarts.

Step-by-step explanation:

So 5 1/2 quarts to start. 4 left over.

Theres 4 cups in a quart.

So theres be 4 1/2 quarts used.. as 4 cups left would be a quart and 1 quart taken away from 5 1/2 quarts in 4 1/2.

answer: c

step-by-step explanation: because you don't have to draw a point of intersection. couldyou give me brainliest?

- "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."
