Question
I bought a new gas lawn mower the other day. This new mower mows faster than the old electric (environmental) one. Why, you ask? It is because the old mower cut a 21 inch path, while the new one cuts a 22 inch path. So how much time did I save? Look at some facts. My lawn is a rectangle measuring 150 feet by 105 feet I mow the lawn in strips and always in the same direction (length or width) My walking speed is 120 feet/minute It takes 5 seconds to turn around after each strip How much time did I save if I mow back and forth along the width or if I mow back and forth along the length? Pick one and figure it out. My neighbor does not like minutes the noise it makes, but I do!

It is shaped like a rectangle and measures approximately 16.3 feet wide and 26.2 feet long. It is an average of 5 feet deep. During a few hot weeks during the summer, some water evaporates from the pool, and Jill needs to add 8 inches of water to the depth of the pool, using her garden hose. Although her water pressure varies, the water flows through Jill’s garden hose at an average rate of 10 gallons/minute. Convert the dimensions of the pool to meters. Round all meter measurements to one decimal place (nearest tenth of a meter). How many liters will Jill need to add to her pool to return the water level to its original depth? How many gallons of water is this? Reminder: Volume = Length x Width x Depth How long will Jill need to run the hose? Express your answer in hours and minutes I need to show all work starting with converting feet to meters. How do i do this?arrow_forward
