Fred can mow a lawn in 60 minutes. rocky can mow the same lawn in 40 minutes. how long does it take for both fred and rocky to mow the lawn if they are working together? express your answer as a reduced fraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred can mow a lawn in 60 minutes.

Fred's Rate  [tex]=\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

Rocky can mow the same lawn in 40 minutes.

Rocky's rate [tex]=\frac{1}{40}[/tex]

Let the time it will take both of them = x minutes

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{40}=\frac{1}{x}\\$Multiply all through by 1200$\\1200\times \frac{1}{60}+1200\times\frac{1}{40}=1200\times\frac{1}{x}\\20+30=\frac{1200}{x}\\50=\frac{1200}{x}\\$Cross multiply\\50x=1200\\Divide both sides by 50\\x=24\\[/tex]

It would take the two of them 24 minutes to mow the lawn.

A 1 km long train is travelling at 30km/h. If the train enters a tunnel that is 1 km long, how much time will it take for the train to clear the tunnel?

Answers

Answer: 240 seconds OR 4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the train = 1 km

Length of the tunnel = 1 km

Therefore, length of the train + length of the tunnel = (1 + 1) km = 2 km

= 2000 m

Speed of the train = 30 km/hr = 8.333 metres per second

Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the tunnel = 2000 m/ 8.333 m/sec.

= 240 seconds = 4 minutes

Sreya bought shoes for $37.57 and x pairs of socks for $1.95 each. Which expression shows the total money spent? (1 point) 37.57x + 1.95 37.57x + 1.95x 37.57 + 1.95 + x 37.57 + 1.95x

Answers

Answer:

37.57 + 1.95x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the shoes is a constant, and we don't know how many socks she bought, but we know that for every pair of socks she bought, they cost would be 1.95. Since we haven't been given the total cost of the purchase, meaning how much the total was, this will be an expression. We will multiply an x against the amount (1.95), which will calculate the price for how many socks were purchased. This means the answer will be 37.57 + 1.95x.

I will clarify a little bit more on why the other answers are incorrect. The first option is 37.57x + 1.95. This is incorrect because the question is not asking how many shoes were bought, but it is questioning how many socks were bought. Option number two states 37.57x + 1.95x. This means that the number of socks and shoes are both unknown, and the question does not state that. Also, another point to make would be that we could also add these variables together, and we do not want that. Option number three states 37.57 + 1.95 + x. X cannot be a separate variable, because by stating that, it means that there would be one more object that was bought that is unknown. I hope this helps you understand my explanation a bit more.

Have a great day, and best of luck for your math problem!

Study the following figure, where two concentric circles share center C.
Segment AB is a diameter of the larger circle.
Segment AB intersects a chord of the smaller circle, PQ, at a right angle at point Z.
Segment AB intersects a chord of the larger circle, MN, at a right angle at point 0.

If MO=7x-4, and NO=6x, what is the length of MN

Answers

Answer:

Length of MN = 48 units

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is the diameter of the larger circle which is perpendicular to both the chords PQ (chord of the smaller circle) and MN(chord of the larger circle).

Theorem says,

"Radius or a diameter of a circle which is perpendicular to the chord divides the chord in two equal parts."

Therefore, MO ≅ ON

m(MO) = m(ON)

7x - 4 = 6x

7x - 6x = 4

x = 4

m(MN) = m(MO) + m(ON)

           = (7x - 4) + (6x)

           = 13x - 4

           = (13 × 4) - 4

           = 52 - 4

           = 48

Length of chord MN will be 48 units.

The starting salary for a particular job is 1.2 million per annum. The salary increases each year by 75000 to a maximum of 1.5million. In which year is the maximum salary reached

Answers

Answer:

In the 5th year

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first year, the salary is 1.2million = 1,200,000

For the second year, the salary is 1.2million + 75000 = 1,200,000 + 75,000 = 1,275,000

.

.

.

For the last year, the salary is 1.5million = 1,500,000

This gives the following sequence...

1,200,000 1,275,000  .   .   . 1,500,000

This follows an arithmetic progression with an increment of 75,000.

Remember that,

The last term, L, of an arithmetic progression is given by;

L = a + (n - 1)d           ---------------(i)

Where;

a = first term of the sequence

n = number of terms in the sequence (which is the number of years)

d = the common difference or increment of the sequence

From the given sequence,

a = 1,200,000                          [which is the first salary]

d = 75,000                               [which is the increment in salary]

L = 1,500,000                          [which is the maximum salary]

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

1,500,000 = 1,200,00 + (n - 1) 75,000

1,500,000 - 1,200,000 = 75,000(n-1)

300,000 = 75,000(n - 1)

[tex]\frac{300,000}{75,000} = n - 1[/tex]

4 = n - 1

n = 5

Therefore, in the 5th year the maximum salary will be reached.

Which statement is true about the ranges for the box plots? A variety of two types of snack packs are delivered to a store. The box plots compare the number of calories in each snack pack of crackers to the number of calories in each snack pack of trail mix.

Answers

*The box plots are shown in the attachment

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the difference between the largest value of a data set and the lowest value in that data set.

In a box plot, the highest value is located at the end of the whisker to our right, while the lowest value is located at the beginning of the whisker of the box plot at our left.

For Crackers, the range = 100-70 = 30

For Cookies, the range = 115-70 = 45

Therefore, we can conclude that the range value of the number of calories in crackers (30) is less/lower than that of cookies (45).

Answer: D. The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs of crackers.

One serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat. That is 3% of the daily amount recommended for a 2,000 calorie diet. How many grams of fat are recommended? Show your work.

Answers

Answer: 50 grams of fat

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that one serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat which is 3% of the daily amount recommended for a 2,000 calorie diet.

This means that we are expected to find the grams of fat for 100%. Since one serving of pretzels contains 1.5 grams of fat which is 3%, this means 1% will contain (1.5/3) = 0.5 grams of fat.

Therefore the grams of fat that are recommended will be:

= 100 × 0.5

= 50 grams of fat

Answer:

50 grams of fat

1.5 / 3 = 0.5

0.5 x 100 = 50

A recipe calls for a total of 3 and two-thirdscups flour and sugar. If the recipe calls for One-fourthcup of sugar, how much flour is needed?

Answers

Answer:

3 and 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much flour you need, subtract how much sugar you need from how much total you need of sugar and flower. To do this, turn both numbers into improper fractions. This means 3 and 2/3 turns into 11/3 as there are 3 thirds per whole, and there are three wholes plus the 2 thirds, equaling 11/3. The 1/4 is already an improper fraction, so you can move on.

Now you just covert them to have the same denominator by multiply 11/3 by 4 on top and bottom and 1/4 by 3 on both the top and bottom to get 44/12 and 3/12. Now you just subtract 44/12-3/12 and get 41/12. Made into a mixed number that is 3 and 5/12.

The recipe will require three and five-twelfths (3 5/12) fraction cups of flour.

What are fractions?

A fraction is a portion of a whole or, more broadly, any number of equal pieces.

It is written in the form p/q, read as "p by q", where p is called the numerator and q is called the denominator, and the fraction p/q represents p number of equal parts from q number of equal parts.

Fractions are of two types:

Proper fraction: Where numerator < denominator. Improper fraction: Where numerator > denominator. These fractions are written in mixed form also.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are informed that a recipe calls for a total of 3 and two-thirds cups of flour and sugar.

We are asked if the recipe calls for One-fourth cup of sugar, then how much flour is needed.

We suppose the quantity of flour required to be x cups.

We know the quantity of sugar required = One-fourth cup.

This can be written as a fraction = 1/4 cup.

We know the total sugar and flour is three and two-thirds cups.

This can be written as a fraction = 3 2/3 cup = 11/3 cup.

Now, we know quantity of sugar + quantity of flour = total quantity

or, 1/4 + x = 11/3

or, x = 11/3 - 1/4 = (44 - 3)/12 = 41/12 = 3 5/12.

Therefore, the recipe will require three and five-twelfths (3 5/12) fraction cups of flour.
