A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days; B and C can do it in 15 days while C and A can finish it in 20 days. In how many days will A, B and C finish it, working together? In how many days will each of them finish it working alone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes A 30 days to finish the work aloneIt takes B 20 days to finish the work aloneIt takes C 60 days to finish the work alone

Working together, it takes them 10 days to finish the work

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20}\\\\[/tex]

From given equations above;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\But, \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\Also, \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -(\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A})= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{A}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{A} = \frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{2}{A} = \frac{300+ 180-240}{3600} \\\\\frac{2}{A} =\frac{240}{3600}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{A} = \frac{1}{15} \\\\A = 30 \ days[/tex]

solve for B;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{5-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{3}{60}\\\\B = 20 \ days[/tex]

Solve for C;

[tex]\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{3-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{60}\\\\C = 60 \ days[/tex]

When they work together;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} +\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{y} \\\\\frac{1}{30} +\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{2+ 3+ 1}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{6}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\y = 10\ days[/tex]

how do you graph this
y-2x=0
y=4x+3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

those are 2 lines, and to graph them find 2 points for each to draw a line trough them

line 1

y-2x=0 so y=2x

pick any value for x

(x=1, y=2*1=2), (x=3, y=2*3=6)

Draw a line trough points (1,2) and (3,6)

line 2

y=4x+3

(x=1, y=4*1+3=7), (x= -1, y= 4(-1)+3= -1)

Draw a line trough points (1,7) and (-1, -1)

Tritan played in a football game he caught the ball at the goal line and ran forward 30 yards before he was tackled how could tristansrun be represented as a fraction and decimal of the whole football field

Answers

Answer:

As a fraction = [tex]\dfrac{30}{100}[/tex]

As a decimal = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that: The total yard of a football field = 100 yards

Tritan played in a football game he caught the ball at the goal line and ran forward 30 yards before he was tackled,

As a fraction;

Tristan run can be represented as = number of run from goal-line/ total length of the field

= [tex]\dfrac{30}{100}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

a) 44[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/3 feet

b) .3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know all three of the angles: 30 60 90. So we can divide 22 by [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex], and then multiply that number by 2. We cannot have a radicand in the bottom, so multiply the denominator and numerator by

The sum of the first (n) terms of the sequence is given by the formula (given below) . If this sequence is a geometric progression, find q. If this sequence is an Arithmetic progression, find d​​

Answers

Answer:Example 1:

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric series if a1=1 and r=2.

S8=1(1−28)1−2=255

Example 2:

Find S10 of the geometric sequence 24,12,6,⋯.

First, find r.  

r=r2r1=1224=12

Now, find the sum:

S10=24(1−(12)10)1−12=306964

Example 3:

Evaluate.

∑n=1103(−2)n−1

(You are finding S10 for the series 3−6+12−24+⋯, whose common ratio is −2.)

Sn=a1(1−rn)1−rS10=3[1−(−2)10]1−(−2)=3(1−1024)3=−1023  

In order for an infinite geometric series to have a sum, the common ratio r must be between −1 and 1.  Then as n increases, rn gets closer and closer to 0.  To find the sum of an infinite geometric series having ratios with an absolute value less than one, use the formula, S=a11−r, where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Example 4:

Find the sum of the infinite geometric sequence

27,18,12,8,⋯.

First find r:  

r=a2a1=1827=23

Then find the sum:

S=a11−r

S=271−23=81

Example 5:

Find the sum of the infinite geometric sequence

8,12,18,27,⋯ if it exists.

First find r:  

r=a2a1=128=32

Since r=32 is not less than one the series has no sum.

Given:

Number of sides = 7

Apothem = 8 meters

Side length = 7.7 meters

To find:

The area of the regular polygon.

Solution:

We know that,

Area of a regular polygon is

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}pa[/tex]        ...(i)

where, p is perimeter and a is apothem.

Perimeter of a regular polygon is the product of number of sides and side length.

[tex]p=7\times 7.7[/tex]

[tex]p=53.9[/tex]

Substituting p=53.9 and a=8 in (i), we get

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(53.9)(8)[/tex]

[tex]A=(53.9)(4)[/tex]

[tex]A=215.6[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the regular polygon is 215.6 m².

Answers

Answer:

6 jellybean

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Esmeralda received a bag of jellybean the contains regular flavored jelly beans and surprise jelly bean.

Consider the regular flavored jellybean to be = r;  &

The surprise jelly bean.= s

From the bag, there are 40 jellybeans of which 15% is surprise jellybean.

Therefore the number of expected surprise jellybeans is:

= total number of jellybeans × percentage of surprise jellybean

= 40 × (15 /100)

= 6 jellybean

If  6 surprise jellybean is presented in the bag; then the number of regular flavored jellybean = 40 - 6 = 34 regular flavored jellybean

Henry rode his motorcycle from his house to a friend's house. After riding 10 miles, he realizes he has traveled 2/3 of the way. How far is Bob's house from his friend's house?
A. 20 miles
B. 15 miles
C. 12 miles
D. 25 miles​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of diatance = 10 miles

3/3 of distance = 10 * (3/2) = 15 miles.

The distance between the houses is 15 miles. (B)

Let the total distance covered= x

Distance covered= 10 miles

According to the question,

2/3 of x= 10

=> 2/3 × x= 10

=> 2x/3= 10

=> 2x= 10× 3

=> 2x= 30

=> x= 30/2

=> x= 15

Bob's house is 15 miles away from Henry's house.

one factor of 8x^3+1 is 2x+1 The other factor is?

Answers

First, write 8x^3 in exponential form (8 is basically the same as 2^3)


So that you have 2^3*x^3+1


Multiply the terms with equal exponents by multiply the bases (1 is basically the same as 1^3)


So that it becomes (2x)^3+1^3



Then, using a^3+b^3 equals (a+b)(a^2-2ab+b^2), factor the expression so that it becomes
(2x+1)((2x)^2-2x+1^2)

Expand the second bracket


So the two factors are (2x+1) and (4x^2-2x+1)
