Walter and Helen are asked to paint a house. Walter can paint the house by himself
in 12 hours and Helen can paint the house by herself in 16 hours. How long would it
take to paint the house if they worked together? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

The division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations. The time it will take both of them together to paint the house is 6.857 hours.

What is Division?

The division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations, which tells us how the numbers are combined to form a new one.

Let the area that is needed to be painted be x.

Given that Walter can paint the house by himself in 12 hours. Therefore, we can write the rate at which Water paint is,

Rate = Area needed to be painted / Time

       = x / 12 hours

       = x/12

Further, given that Helen can paint the house by herself in 16 hours. Therefore, we can write the rate at which Helen paint is,

Rate = Area needed to be painted / Time

       = x / 16 hours

       = x/16

Now, the rate at which they both will paint or the area that they will cover in an hour is,

Rate = (x/12) + (x/16)

       = (4x/48) + (3x/48)

       = (4x + 3x)/48

       = 7x / 48

Furthermore, the time it will take both of them together to paint the house is,

Time = Area needed to be painted / Rate

        = x / (7x/48)

        = 48/7 hours

        = 6.857 hours

Hence, the time it will take both of them together to paint the house is 6.857 hours.

Greta is taking a road trip from Cincinnati to San Francisco. On the first day, she drove 650 miles in 10 hours. On the second day, she got a later start and drove 540 miles in 8 hours. How many miles per hour faster was her average speed the second day?

Answers

Answer:

2.5 miles per hour faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

the first day

distance= 650miles

time taken= 10 hours

speed= distance/time

speed= 650/10

speed= 65miles per hour

Step two:

the second day

distance= 540mile

time taken= 8 hours

speed= distance/time

speed= 540/8

speed= 67.5miles per hour

Step three:

the difference between the two speeds is =67.5-65= 2.5

therefore on the second day, the speed is 2.5 miles per hour faster

Encik Ahmad builds a rectangular shaped garden
measuring 85 m long and 30 m wide. He divides the
garden into square plots to plant a variety of flowers.
Find the number of square plots that can be built if he
only wants three different square sizes.​

Answers

Answer:he should build them 25x10

Step-by-step explanation:

Encik Ahmad can build 10 square plots with three different sizes.

What is Rectangle?

Rectangle is a polygon in two dimensional geometry which has four sides and four angles and each angle being right angles.

Length of the rectangular plot = 85 m

Width of the rectangular plot = 30 m

We have to find the number of square plots Encik Ahmad can built of three different sizes.

For that first we take a 45 m length of the plot.

Divide it to three equal lengths. We get three lengths with each 15 m length.

Along the width also, divide into two equal width, each having a width of 15 m.

Each 15 m length, we will get two square plots.

Along 45 m length, we get 3 × 2 = 6 square plots.

The remaining rectangle has length 40 m and width 30 m.

Divide this length as 30 m and 10 m.

So we get a square of dimension 30 m.

Remaining is a rectangle whose remaining length is 10 m and width 30 m.

Along the width, divide into three equal widths, each 10 m.

So there we get three square plots with side length 10 m.

So we have 10 square plots, 6 having the side length 15m, 1 having the side length 30 m and 3 having the side length 10 m.

Hence he get 10 square plots having three different sizes as 15 m, 30 m and 10 m.

A small business borrows $50,000 to get started. Some of the money is borrowed at 9%, some at 7%, and some at 10% simple interest. The total of the annual interest they are charged is $4340, and the amount borrowed at 7% is two times the amount borrowed at 9%. Set up a system of equations to represent the situation, then find the amounts of money (x, y, and z) borrowed at each interest rate.

Answers

Answer: Amount borrowed at 9% = 9,428.57

Amount borrowed at 7% = $18,857.14

Amount borrowed at 10% = $ 21,714.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for simple interest :

I = PRT,

P= Principal, R =rate , T= time

Let x = amount borrowed at 9%.

y = amount borrowed at 7%.

z = amount borrowed at 10%.

i.e. x+y+z= 50000    (i) [Given : amount invested = 50000]

Interest on x = x (0.09)(1)   [as P=x,  T=1 year, r= 0.09]

= 0.09x

Similarly

Interest on y = y(0.07)(1) = 0.07y

Interest on z = z(0.1)(1)=0.1z

Total interest = 0.09x+0.07y+0.1z = 4340   (ii)

Also, y=2x   [given]  (iii)

Put y=2x in (i) and (ii), we get

x+2x+z= 50000 ⇒ 3x+z=50000    (iv)

0.09x+0.07(2x)+0.1z=4340  ⇒ 0.09x+0.14x+0.1z=4340

⇒ 0.23x+0.1z=4340    (v)

Multiply 10 on both sides of (v)

2.3x+z=43400   (vi)

Eliminate (vi) from (v)

0.7x=6600

⇒ x= 9,428.57

From (iii), y= 2(9428.57) =18,857.14

From (vi),

2.3(9428.57)+z=43400

⇒ 21685.71+z=43400

⇒ z= 43400-21685.71

⇒ z=21714.29

Hence, Amount borrowed at 9% = 9,428.57

Amount borrowed at 7% = $18,857.14

Amount borrowed at 10% = $ 21,714.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Students at canyon middle school = x

Band = 1/2x + 30

Athletics = 3/5x - 5

athletics.If the number of students who are in band is equal to the number of students in athletics

1/2x + 30 = 3/5x - 5

1/2x - 3/5x = -5 - 30

Mario runs a yard company. He charges $20 to show up for the job and $4 for each 10 square Yards. His competition, Linda's Lawn Care, charges $10 for showing up and $6 for each square 10 yards. After how many 10 square yards are, they charging the same? And how much is charged at that moment?

Answers

Answer:

5 square 10 yards

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Mario:

20 + 4x

Her competitor:

10 + 6x

Where,

x = number of 10 square yards

Equate the expressions

20 + 4x = 10 + 6x

Collect like terms

20 - 10 = 6x - 4x

10 =2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 10 / 2

= 5

x = 5 square 10 yards.

Charge at that moment

Using any of the cost equation

10 + 6x

= 10 + 6(5)

= 10 + 30

= 40

$40

Or

20 + 4x

= 20 + 4(5)

= 20 + 20

= $40

Write an equation of the line in standard form.
The line has the same slope as 3x-y=5 and the same y-intercept as the graph of 2y- 15x = 8.
The equation in standard form is

Answers

Answer:

Ok to make this easier for us we should switch these equations into y=mx+b so that it's easier for us to identify the slope and y-intercept:

to switch into y=mx+b form do this:

3x-y=5

-y=5-3x

y=-5+3x

y=3x+(-5)

2y-15x=8

2y=8+15x

y=4+7 1/2x

y=7 1/2x+4

THe slope of any line in y=mx+b form is m. Therefore in this equation:

y=3x+(-5)     3 is the slope

The y intercept of any line is the +b:

y=7 1/2x+4 -therefore 4 in this equation is our y intercept.

Now we can construct our equation in y=mx+b then into standard form (Ax+By=C)

since 3 is our slope and 4 is our y intercept the equatuon is :

y=3x+4

NOw all we need to do is move this into standard form:

y=3x+4

-3x+y=4

-3x+y=4 is your final answer

El peso promedio de 500 árboles de un vivero es de 70kg y la desviación estándar de 3kg. Suponiendo que los pesos se distribuyen normalmente, encontrar CUANTOS arboles pesan: a) Entre 60 y 75 kg b) Más de 90kg c) Menos de 64kg. D) 64 Kg

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Resolvemos usando la fórmula de puntuación z

z = (x-μ) / σ, donde

x es la puntuación bruta

μ es la media poblacional = 70 kg

σ es la desviación estándar de la población = 3 kg

a) Entre 60 y 75 kg

Para x= 60kg

z = 60 - 70/3 kg

=-3.33333

Valor de probabilidad de la tabla Z:

P(x = 60) = 0.00042906

Para x = 75 kg

z = 75 - 70/3 kg

= 1.66667

Valor de probabilidad de la tabla Z:

P(x = 75) = 0.95221

P(x = 75) - P(60)

0.95221 - 0.00042906

b) Más de 90 kg

Para x> 90 kg

z = 90 - 70/3

= 6.66667

Valor de probabilidad de la tabla Z:

P (x <90) = 1

P (x> 90) = 1 - P (x <90) = 0

Número de árboles = 500

Por tanto, 500 × 0 = 0 árboles

c) Menos de 64 kg

x <64 kg

z = 64 - 70/3 kg

= -2

Valor de probabilidad de Z-Table:

P (x <64) = 0,02275

Hay 500 arboles

= 500 × 0.02275

= 11.375 árboles

D) 64 kilogramos

x = 64 kg

z = 64 - 70/3 kg

= -2

Valor de probabilidad de Z-Table:

P (x = 64) = 0,02275

Hay 500 arboles

= 500 × 0.02275

= 11.375 árboles

The angle between a diagonal and the longer base of the isosceles trapezoid MNFD is 45°. NK is an altitude to the longer base. If MD = 9 and NF = 5, find:

Answers

Answer:

NK = 7, MK = 2, MF = 9.9, Area = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached

To find:

NK ,  MK,  MF, Area of trapezoid

Solution

The trapezoid is isosceles and NK is its height, therefore

MD - NF = 2MKMK = (9 -5)/2 = 2

Since ∠KDN = 45°, the triangle NKD is isosceles and so

NK = KD = MD - MK = 9 - 2 = 7

MF  = ND as trapezoid is isosceles and therefore diagonals are equal

ND = NK√2 = 7√2 = 9.9 So MF = 9.9

Area of trapezoid

A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h A = 1/2(9+5)(7) = 6*7 = 42
