1 yard Hydrant

I have 2 of these yard hydrants http://www.lowes.com/pd_239933-15649-PPYH-3_0__?productId=3223217&Ntt=water+hydrant&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dwater%2Bhydrant&state=R#prod-tabs They are made in China and the one I dug up was leaking out the drain hole. A friend of mine installed them when he was living here a year ago. So there only about a year old. When I shut the water off after it fully drains the water, like it should. But It continually drips, even after 4 hours. So it seems like it's not fully sealing. I was looking at the woodford hydrants and was thinking since I got this one dug up. I'd replace it. But I was wondering if the woodford hydrants are better made hydrants and worth the money? http://www.lowes.com/pd_173391-27949-Y34-3_0__?productId=3126707&Ntt=water+hydrant&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dwater%2Bhydrant Thanks

I guess they can't be any worse, the ones you have now aren't working properly, Lowe's will take it back if they are no good

I was walking down the street one day, and a jogger passed me. I was curious to know whether I could figure out how fast the jogger was running, so I started paying attention to where the jogger was. When she passed a light pole a little ways in front of me, I began to count the seconds. It took me 9 seconds to get to the pole. When i reached the pole, I looked up to see that she was just passing a fire hydrant. I again counted the seconds until I reached the fire hydrant, and it took 11 seconds when I reached the fire hydrant, she was passing a parking meter. It took me 14 seconds to reach the parking meter. I knew that I walked two paces in 1 second and my pace was 1 yard long. Approximately how fast, in miles per hour, was the jogger moving?

5 mph. Took walker, at 6 feet per second, 11 seconds to get from the pole to the fire hydrant. That makes the distance 66 feet. Took runner 9 seconds to go 66 feet That is 7 and 1/3 feet per second Convert to miles per hour, 5mph

We just got our pool up for the second time after the first time the ground was too uneven. Now it is fine and we have maybe 1.5 feet of water all around. We wanted to use our fire hydrant in our yard to fill it up faster (dad used to be a volunteer firefighter) but turns out there is no water in it, so we had to resort to our slow garden hose. Its not too bad actually but now, our house is out of water apparently. We had our hose hooked up to our washing machine's water source so it could reach the pool out back. I went to check on it and no water in going out and the hose is even hot at the mouth of the spicket. Our sinks and baths have to water either now, where did it all go? Can we get more if we wait? We are hooked up to a city water source thingy too by the way.

What is your water source. If it is city water that should not happen - call the water company. If it is well water you may have pumped it dry. It probably will refill itself but the pump itself may be air-bound or may have silt in it necessitating cleaning it and re-priming it.

1. Long Block I was taking a walk one day, when I noticed two people walking toward me. When they were passing a fire hydrant up ahead, I started counting seconds. From that point, it took me 15 seconds to pass them and another 12 seconds to reach the fire hydrant. Ten minutes after I passed them the first time, I passed them again. I realized that we were walking around the block in opposite directions. I know that I walk one yard per second. What is the distance all the way around the block? 2. Last Digit What is the last digit in the product (3^1)(3^2)(3^3)(3^4)...(3^398)(3^399)(3^400) ? (Hint: Use one of your rules for exponents.) --the symbol "^" represents exponent 3. What Do I Need for a B? In her math class, Amber has figured out that her average is 76%. Up to now, 900 points were possible in the class. From now until the end of the semester, 300 points will be possible, making a total of 1200 points possible for the entire semester. Amber really wants a B in the class, so she wants to figure out what her average has to be from now on in order for her to end the semester with an 80% average. What does her average have to be for the 300 points for her to get her B? 4. County Fair John and Marcia took her two kids to the county fair. They first spent 1/6 of their money on adult admission tickets, and then $6.50 on the two child's tickets. They spent 3/8 of their remaining money on ride tickets. Then they spent $4.00 each on lunch. They spent 1/5 of their remaining money on a T-shirt for John. Marcia wanted a T-shirt too, so they bought another one for the same price. Then one kid found a quarter and the other one found a dime. They each gave the money to their mom, whereupon John and Marcia each gave each child a dollar. John and Marcia then spent 2/5 of their remaining money on ice cream sundaes. When they left the fair, they had to pay their parking tab, which amounted to $1.50 an hour. They had been there for seven hours. When they got to Marcia's house, John and Marcia had $3.15 left between them. How much money did they spend at the fair? (Be careful. Read each step carefully.) 5. Decent Investments Leonard invested money in two bank accounts. One account pays 2.9% annual interest, and the other account pays 6.15% interest. He invested four times as much money in the 6.15% account as he did in the 2.9% account. At the end of the year, Leonard made $345 in interest. How much money did he invest in the 6.15% account? Remember: You must use one of the strategies we’ve learned in this class.

1) First, find the speed that the other two people are walking. Let "A" be the point where the narrator first starts counting, "B" the point where he or she passes the two people, and "H" the point where the hydrant is. For a diagram, draw the line segment "ABH". The narrator walks 1 yard per second, so the distance between A and B is 15 yards, and the distance from B to H is 12 yards. The two people walked from H to B in the span of 15 seconds, so their speed is 12/15 yards per second, which is 4/5 yards per second. 10 minutes (600 seconds) after this, the narrator walks 600 yards. You can find how many yards the two people must have walked in the same amount of time. Since they both left the same starting point and walked in opposite directions around the block, then their combined distances after 10 minutes must be total length around the entire block. So add the two distances. 2) Is that last term supposed to be 3^400? You didn't put any spaces, so Yahoo truncated your text If it's really supposed to be 3^400, then this is 3^(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 400), which is 3^[ 400(401)/2 ] 3^(80,200). Notice that the first few powers of 3 are 3^1 = 3, 3^2 = 9, 3^3 = 27, 3^4 = 81. Since this ends in a 1, the next has to end in 3, which means the next power ends in 9, and so on. So in general, the powers of 3 end in the digits 3,9,7,1; 3,9,7,1; 3,9,7,1 ... etc. Since 80,200 is a multiple of 4, then 3 raised to that power should end in a 1. 4) You can work this one backwards. Notice though that they're asking for the total amount of money SPENT, not what they originally had. So once we get the original amount, we need to subtract $3.15, the amount they didn't spend. The parking was 7 * 1.50 = $10.50, so before that they had $13.65. This is what they had after spending 2/5 of their previous amount on ice cream, so $13.65 must be 3/5 of the amount they had. This means they had 13.65 * (5/3) = $22.75. Keep working backwards to get to the original amount. 5) Let x be the amount of money Leonard invested in the 6.15% account. Then he invested x/4 in the 2.9% account. His total amount of interest was 0.0615x + 0.029(x/4) = 345. Solve this for x.
