Carson has two cans of red paint. The first can contains 3 pints of red paint. The second can contains 4 16 pints of red paint. If Carson wants both cans to contain the same amount of paint, how many pints of 2 1paint must he pour from the second can into the first can?

1⁵/₈ pints

Step-by-step explanation:

First can contained 3¹/₄ pints and second can contained 6¹/₂.

To make them equal, first find the different;

= 6¹/₂ - 3¹/₄

= 6.5 - 3.25

= 3.25

Divide this difference by 2;

= 3.25/2

= 1.625

= 1⁶²⁵/₁₀₀₀

= 1⁵/₈ pints

If Carson pours 1⁵/₈ pints from the second Can, it would increase the first can to 4⁷/₈ pints whilst reducing the second can to 4⁷/₈ pints as well.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
