Joe can weed the garden twice as fast as his sister Janet. Together they can weed the garden in 2 hours. How long would it take each of them working alone?

A:[tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

joe takes x hours

so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden

janet takes 2x hours

so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden

In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2

2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2

3/(2x) = 1/2

Cross multiply

6 = 2x

x = 3

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

in a bag of keys there are 15 silver keys six black keys 11 copper keys and two painted keys of various colors. one key is drawn what is the probability that the key is silver or copper

Answers

Answer:

The best thing to do here is to put each of these into fractions, with the total (31) as the denominator.

14/31= silver

6/31= black

8/31= copper

3/31= various colours.

As you're looking for the keys that are silver or copper, you've got to add the two denominators together, which gives you 14+8= 22.

This cannot be simplified further, therefore, the probability of choosing either a silver or copper key is 22/31.

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

find the missing sides of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then

sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

f = 24

----------------------------------------------------------------

Using the cosine ratio and the exact value

cos30° = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] , then

cos30° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{e}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{e}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2e = 24[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 2 )

e = 12[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-6,4) that is perpendicular to the line 5x+3y=5

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3x -5y = -38

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the perpendicular line can be formed by swapping the coefficients of x and y in the given equation, negating one of them. The new constant will be the one that lets the given point satisfy the equation.

  given: 5x +3y = 5

  perpendicular: 3x -5y = constant

At the given point, the constant is ...

  3(-6) -5(4) = -18 -20 = -38

So, the desired equation is ...

  3x -5y = -38

R of breaths of all people in asia in 2016? Expressing your answer in scinentific notation in the form a *10^(b) what are the values of a and b?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a = 3.7464[/tex]

[tex]b = 16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Express the answer in [tex]a * 10^b[/tex]

From the question, we have:

[tex]People = 4.46 * 10^9[/tex]

[tex]Breath = 8.4 * 10^6[/tex] breath/person in a year

The number of breath is calculated by:

[tex]Overall = People * Breath[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Overall = 4.46 * 10^9 * 8.4 * 10^6[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]Overall = 4.46 * 8.4* 10^9 * 10^6[/tex]

[tex]Overall = 37.464* 10^{9+6}[/tex]

[tex]Overall = 37.464* 10^{15}[/tex]

Using scientific notation [tex]a * 10^b[/tex];

The value (a) must be in the following interval [tex]0 \le a \le 1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Overall = 3.7464 * 10 * 10^{15[/tex]

[tex]Overall = 3.7464 * 10^{16[/tex]

By comparing the above with: [tex]a * 10^b[/tex]

[tex]a = 3.7464[/tex]

[tex]b = 16[/tex]
