I need help I don’t really understand this

It loses -0.04 milliliters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pipe loses 1 1/5 milliliters (I'mma just call it ml from now on) every 30 minutes. The question is asking how many ml it loses every one minute. To find this, divide 1 1/5 ml by 30. This is very difficult with fractions tho, so convert the fraction into a decimal. (1 1/5 as a decimal is 1.2) Then divide 1.2 by 30 and you get -0.04 ml per minute.

Make sure you put that it loses *negative* 0.04 ml per minute!

a) a continuous variable

b) a discrete variable

c) a continuous variable

d) a discrete variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we need to define what are the continuous and discrete variables. Discrete variables are those whose values are obtained by counting, but continuous variables those whose values are obtained by measurement.

a) The weight of a dog can be measured. Therefore, it is a continuous variable.

b) The result of a roll of dice can be counted. Therefore, it is a discrete variable.

c) The weight of a bunch of bananas can be measured. Therefore, it is a continuous variable.

d) The number of people in line at a box office to purchase theater tickets can be counted. Therefore, it is a discrete variable.
