4. Jean and Mark are going to fill a pool with 2 different sized hoses. Jean can fill the pool in 4 hours, while Mark can complete it in 6 hours. Their supervisor thinks that the job will take 5 hours to
complete if they work together. Explain each step in solving this equation, and determine if the supervisor is correct or not.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The supervisor is not quite correct. The correct answer must be lower than the lowest number, otherwise you are taking out what the person with the narrower hose must be taking out what the other person is putting in.

Equation

Let x = the amount of time needed for him to fill the pool

Let y = the amount of time needed for the second person to fill the pool

Let z = the amount of time needed for both to fill the pool.

1/x + 1/ y = 1/z

1/4 + 1/6 = 1/z         The common denominator is 12

3/12 + 2/12 = 1/z

5/12 = 1/z                Cross multiply

5z = 12 * 1               Divide by 5

z = 12/5

z = 2 2/5

z = 2.4 hours

Answers

Answer:

x = 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached an image to depict the given angles.

From the attached image, we can see that the unknown angle is x°.

Thus, since that corner is 90°, then;

x + 38 = 90

Subtract 38 from both sides to get;

Karim began his day by drinking 1 1/8

cups of milk at breakfast. By the end of the day, he drank a total of 2 2/3

cups of milk.


Which equation and solution correctly represent the amount of milk in cups, m , Karim drank after breakfast?

Answers

Answer:

A. 1⅛ + m = 2⅔

[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of milk at breakfast = 1⅛

Cups of milk after breakfast = m

Total cups of milk by the end of the day = 2⅔

Thus:

Total cups of milk by the end of the day = cups of milk at breakfast + cups of drink after breakfast

Therefore:

1⅛ + m = 2⅔ (equation)

Solve for m

Subtract 1⅛ from each side

m = 2⅔ - 1⅛

Convert to improper fraction

m = 8/3 - 9/8

m = (64 - 27)/24 = 37/24

[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]

Given that triangle ABC has angle ABC = 90 degrees, AB = 6 cm and BC = 9 cm. Calculate the length of AC in cm to 1 decimal place

Answers

Answer:

AC = 6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a 90 degree triangle which I am assuming it is you would the Pythagorean theorem c^2 = a^2 + b^2 since bc seems long I am using that as the hypotenuse.

9^2 = 6^2 + b^2

81 = 36 + b^2

81-36 = b^2

45 = b^2

6.7 = b

so AC = 6.7

What is a Quadrilateral?

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides.

The coordinates of a quadrilateral are:

A(7,0), B(3, 1), C(4,7), and D(8, 6)

The distance between the coordinates has to be determined to identify the type of quadrilateral

The distance formula is

[tex]\rm D = \sqrt { ( x- x_1)^2 + (y-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm AB = \sqrt { (3-7)^2 + (1-0)^2}\\AB = \sqrt { 17}[/tex]

[tex]\rm BC = \sqrt { ( 1)^2 + (6)^2}\\BC = \sqrt {37}[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]\rm CD= \sqrt { 17}\\\\AD = \sqrt{37}[/tex]

The opposite sides of the quadrilateral are equal and so it is a rectangle.

in the standard form
f(x) = a(x – h)^2 + k

Answers

Answer:

y = - ( x + 2 )² + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax² + bx + c

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k (where (h, k) are coordinates of the vertex.

h = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~~~

f(x) = - x² - 4x + 10

a = - 1, b = - 4, c = 10

h = - [tex]\frac{-4}{2(-1)}[/tex] = - 2

k = - ( - 2)² - 4( - 2) + 10 = 14

(h, k) = ( - 2, 14 )

Many utility companies promote energy conservation by offering discount rates to consumers who keep their energy usage below certain established subsidy standards. A recent EPA report notes that 70% of the island residents of Puerto Rico hae reduced their electricity usage sufficiently to qualify for discounted rates. If five residential subscribers are randomly selected from San Juan, Puerto Rico, find the probability of each of the following events.a. All five qualify for the favorable rateb. At least four qualify for the favorable rates

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.1681 = 16.81% probability that all five qualify for the favorable rate.

b. 0.5283 = 52.83% probability that at least four qualify for the favorable rates

Step-by-step explanation:

For each Puerto Rico resident, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they qualify for discounted rates, or they do not. The probability of a person in the sample qualifying for discounted rates is independent of any other person in the sample. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of the island residents of Puerto Rico have reduced their electricity usage sufficiently to qualify for discounted rates.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

Five residential subscribers are randomly selected from San Juan, Puerto Rico

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

a. All five qualify for the favorable rate

This is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.1681[/tex]

0.1681 = 16.81% probability that all five qualify for the favorable rate.

b. At least four qualify for the favorable rates

This is

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.3602[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.1681[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.3602 + 0.1681 = 0.5283[/tex]

0.5283 = 52.83% probability that at least four qualify for the favorable rates

You can tell that on the top it say that the total is 15 so it can not be a. So now our answer choices are B, C, ad D.

Now it says that there are 3/5 highlighted but since the rest say 3/5 we can not eliminate yet.

Next we would multiply 3 x 3 to get 9 for how many dollars there are. Cross out B.

Between C and D, C is the most reasonable answer because it says how much did he put in the bank while the other one (D) says how much did he spend?

So it would be C
