Betsy can clean a b of the house in an hour. How long will it take her to clean the whole house?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex] is the total time taken to clean the house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Betsy cleans [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] of the house.

Time taken = 1 hour

To find:

Time taken to clean the whole house = ?

Solution:

We can use unitary method here to solve this problem.

We are given that [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] of the house is cleaned in 1 hour.

We have to find that a total of 1 house will be cleaned in how much time.

(1 house because Betsy's house can be considered as a single unit).

To find this we will divide 1 hour with [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex].

Now, Let us solve this mathematically:

[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] of the house is cleaned in = 1 hour

1 of the house will be cleaned in =  1 hour divided by [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{a}{b}}\ hours\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1 \times b}{a}\ hours\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{b}{a}\ hours[/tex]

So, the answer is:

[tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex] is the total time taken to clean the house.

Answer:

17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Angle T = 87°

Side T = t

Side V = 14

Side U = 11

The value of t can be obtained by using cosine rule as show below:

t² = u² + v² – 2uv cosT

t² = 11² + 14² – 2×11×14 cos 87°

t² = 121 + 196 – 308 × Cos 87°

t² = 300.88

Take the square root of both side

t = √300.88

t = 17.3

Therefore, the value of t is 17.3

What is Interval Notation?

Interval Notation is a way of expressing a subset of real numbers by the numbers that bound them. We can use this notation to represent inequalities. We know an interval expressed as 1 < x < 5 denotes a set of numbers lying between 1 and 5 and it is represented as (1,5)

Given here, the line extends to -4 and ends at 5 but the it is open on the LHS and closed on the RHS and thus the interval notation is (-4,5]

Hence the interval represented in the number line is  (-4,5]

Calculate the measure of arc AG if a=20 and b=10

Step-by-step explanation:

∆GFD is an isosceles right triangle, so angle FDG is 45°. Segment DF bisects angle EDG, so that angle is 90°.

Arc AG is the other half of the semicircle AGE that includes 90° arc GE.

So, arc AG is 90°.

Find the area of the composite shape... WILL MARK BRAINIEST

Answers

Answer:

324.5m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the composite shape, divide the shape into 3 known shapes and calculate their areas.

SO, here we divide the shape into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle.

Area of rectangle = 15 x 8 = 120m^2

Area of triangle 1 = 1/2 x 7 x 15 = 52.5m^2

Area of triangle 2 = 1/2 x 9 x 8 = 4 x 9 = 32cm^2

Now, the sum of these areas = area of composite shape = 32 + 52.5 + 120 = 204.5m^2

Hope this helps.

Please mark brainiest

Good Luck

Answer: 52.5 + 36 + 120 = 208.5

Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

                                             5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

                                            -14x + 5 = 17

                                            -14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

                                           -14x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

a and b are the zeros, we can say that

[tex]f(x)=3(x^2-\dfrac{4}{3}x+\dfrac{5}{3}) = 3(x-a)(x-b)=3(x-(a+b)x+ab)[/tex]

So we can say that

[tex]a+b=\dfrac{4}{3}\\ab=\dfrac{5}{3}[/tex]

Now, we are looking for a polynomial where zeros are 2a+3b and 3a+2b

for instance we can write

[tex](x-2a-3b)(x-3a-2b)=x^2-(2a+3b+3a+2b)x+(2a+3b)(3a+2b)\\= x^2-5(a+b)x+6a^2+6b^2+9ab+4ab[/tex]

and we can notice that

[tex]a^2+b^2=(a+b)^2-2ab[/tex] so

[tex](x-2a-3b)(x-3a-2b)=x^2-5(a+b)x+6[(a+b)2-2ab]+13ab\\= x^2-5(a+b)x+6(a+b)^2+ab[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

44664.59503

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this question, you're asked to find the radical of a number. However in mathematics, the radical of a number simply means "√" and not directly square root of that number, its could be the cube root "³√" or even the fourth root "⁴√".

In this case, we're asked to find the 3 radical of p/q which means 3√(p/q)

P = 2.78×10¹¹

Q = 3.12×10⁻³

p / q = 2.78×10¹¹ / 3.12×10⁻³

p / q = 8.91×10¹³

The 3 radical = 3√(8.91×10¹³)

3√(p/q) = 44664.59503

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the first number be = a

Let the second number be = b

Let the third number be = c

And , the lowest number is 11

So , the value of a = 11

The median is 17

So , the value of the middle number b = 17

Now , the range of the three numbers = 13

So , the maximum value - minimum value = 13

Substituting the values in the equation for range , we get

c - a = 13

c - 11 = 13

Adding 11 on both sides , we get

c = 11 + 13

c = 24

Therefore , the value of a = 11 , b = 17 and c = 24

Hence , The three numbers are 11 , 17 and 24

Answers

Answer:

588 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the enlarged rectangle, first find the length and width of the enlarged rectangle.

This is 3.5 multiplied by their original measures:

Length = 3.5 x 8 = 28

Width = 3.5 x 6 = 21

Now, area =. LxW = 588 units^2

Hope this helps

Answer:

588 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangle that has dimensions 8 units by 6 units.

From the problem, we know that this rectangle has been enlarged by a scale of 3.5. Essentially, to obtain the dimensions of the new, bigger rectangle, we multiply the current length (8 units) by 3.5 and the current width (6 units) by 3.5:

new length = 8 * 3.5 = 28 units

new width = 6 * 3.5 = 21 units

Given this, we can now calculate the area.

The area of a rectangle is denoted by A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.

Here, the length is l = 28 and the width is w = 21. Plug these in:

A = lw

A = 28 * 21 = 588

The answer is thus 588 units squared.
