Two pipes A and B can fill an empty tank in 3hrs and 5hrs respectively. Pipe C can empty the full tank in 6 hours. If the three pipes A, B, and Care opened at the same time, find how long it will take for the tank to be full. *​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30/11 (hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pipe A can fill the tank until it is full in 3 hours.

=> In 1 hour, pipe A can fill 1/3 of tank

Pipe B can fill the tank until it is full in 5 hours.

=> In 1 hour, pipe A can fill 1/5 of tank

Pipe C can empty the full tank in 6 hours.

=> In 1 hour, pipe A can empty 1/6 of tank

Assume that we open 3 pipes A, B, and C at the same time.

Then, in 1 hour, the amount of water in tank is:

A =  1/3 + 1/5 - 1/6 = 10/30 + 6/30 - 5/30 = 11/30 (tank)

=> The time to fill up the tank is:

T = 1/A = 1/(11/30) = 30/11 (hours)

Answer 2

Answer:

30/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine the tank can hold x litre of water

So,A can fill x/3 litre water per hour

And B can fill x/5 litre water per hour

And C can reduce x/6 litre of water per hour which is filled by A and B.

So the gross calculation per hour is:

(x/3+x/5)-x/6

=11x/30

Now suppose it tooks 'a' hour to fill the tank.

So, a(11x/30)=x

⇨ a= (30/11x)x

⇨a=30/11

How do the number line graphs of the solutions sets of Negative 23 greater-than x and x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 23 differ?

Answers

Answer:

For "Negative 23 greater-than x" , highlight the left half of the number line starting at -23 and use a parenthesis ) on -23.

For "x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 23", highlight the right half of the number line starting at -23, and use a square bracket [ on -23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by locating the number -23 on the number line. Please see attached image to accompany the explanation.

In the first case:  "Negative 23 greater-than x" , which is expressed mathematically as:

[tex]-23 >x[/tex]

notice that "x" has to be strictly smaller than the number -23, therefore those sought x values must reside to the left of the number -23, so we have to highlight that half of the number line. Apart from that, we need to include a symbol on top of the number -23, that indicates that -23 itself shouldn't be considered as part of the set, that symbol is by convention a parenthesis ).

In the second case: "x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 23", which is expressed mathematically as:

[tex]x\geq -23[/tex]

notice that "x" has to be greater than or equal to the number -23, therefore those sought x values must reside to the right of the number -23, so we have to highlight that half of the number line. Apart from that, we need to include a symbol on top of the number -23, that indicates that -23 itself should be considered as part of the set, that symbol is by convention a square bracket [.

A geometric sequence has a common ratio of 22 and the 12th12th term is −12,288.−12,288.

What is the explicit rule that describes this sequence?

Answers

Answer:

Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit rule for determining the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ where;

a is the first term of the geometric sequence

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

If a geometric sequence has a common ratio of 2 and the 12th term is −12,288, then;

T₁₂ = ar¹²⁻¹

T₁₂ = ar¹¹

Given T₁₂ = -12,288 and r = 2, we can calculate the first term a

-12,288 = a2¹¹

a = -12,288/2¹¹

a =  -12,288/2048

a = -6

Since the explicit rule for determining the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, then for the sequence given, the explicit rule will be;

Tₙ = -6(2)ⁿ⁻¹

Tₙ = -6 * 2ⁿ * 2⁻¹

Tₙ = -6 * 2ⁿ * 1/2

Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ

Hence the explicit rule that describes this sequence is Tₙ = -3(2)ⁿ

Part B: Correctly solve 4x - 8 = 36 for x. Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Marie´s error was not to consider the number 8:

4x - 8 = 36

it´s equal to:

(4x-8)/4 = 36/4

4x/4 - 8/4 = 36/4

x - 2 = 9

x = 9+2

x = 11

probe:

4*11 - 8 = 36

44 - 8 = 36

Marie did not add 8 on the right-hand side so by considering it the solution of the given equation will be 11.

What is the equation?

There are many different ways to define an equation. The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of 2 mathematical expressions.

In another word, the equation must be constrained with some constraints.

As per the given equation,

4x - 8 = 36

Marie add +8 on the left-hand side but forgot to add it to the right-hand side.

Thus, add +8 on the left as well as the right-hand side.

4x - 8 + 8 = 36 + 8

4x = 44

x = 11

Hence "Marie did not add 8 on the right-hand side so by considering it the solution of the given equation will be 11".

Answers

Answer:  D. (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we do two reflections to the point (-1, 2).

First, we do a reflection over the line x = y.  Remember that a reflection over a line keeps constant the distance between our point and the given line, so we have that for a pint (x, y), the reflection over the line y = x is:

Ry=x (x, y) = (y, x)

so for our point, we have:

Ry=x (-1, 2) = (2, -1)

Now we do a reflection over the y-axis, again, a reflection over a line keeps constant the distance between our point and the given line, so if we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the y-axis, our new point will be:

Ry-axis (x,y) = (-x, y)

Then in our case:

Ry-axis (2, -1) = (-2, -1)

The correct option is D.

Sally left Tampa traveling 66 mph. Keith, to catch up, left some time later driving at 75 mph. Keith caught up after 8 hours. How long was Sally driving before Keith caught up?

Answers

Answer:

9.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sally

Speed = 66mph

Keith

Speed = 75mph

Time = 8 hours

Required

Determine how long Sally has traveled

To solve this, we make use of Speed formula.

Speed = Distance/Time

Make Distance the subject of formula

Distance = Speed * Time

For Sally:[Substitute 66mph for speed]

Distance = 66 * Time ------ Equation 1

For Keith [Substitute 75mph for speed and 8 hours for Time]

Distance = 75 * 8

Distance = 600m----- Equation 2

From the question, we understand that Keith caught up; this implies that they've both traveled the same distance.

Hence;

Equation 1 = Equation 2

66 * Time = 600

Time = 600/66

Time = 9.1 hours

Hence, Sally has traveled 9.1 hours

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. s ≥ 12 - t, s ≤ 30 - t, s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of T-shirts, t, and shorts, s, Tim must design a day = 12

The maximum number of T-shirts and shorts Tim can design a day = 30

The maximum number of hours Tim can work = 18 hours

Therefore, we have;

The number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≥ The minimum number of T-shirts and shorts Tim must design a day less the number of T-shirts Tim designs

Which gives;

s ≥ 12 - t

Also the number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≤ The maximum number of T-shirts, and shorts, Tim can design a day less the number of T-shirts Tim designs

Which gives;

s ≤ 30 - t

The number of 45 minute period for the design of shorts in 18 hours = 18×60/45 = 24

The fraction of 36 minutes in 45 minutes = 36/45 = 0.667

Therefore we have;

The number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≤ The number of 45 minute periods in 18 hours less the number of 36 minutes periods used to design T-shirts

Which gives;

s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t

The correct option is s ≥ 12 - t, s ≤ 30 - t, s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t.

Given the following :

Volume (V) of sphere = (4/3)πr^3 where r = radius

Diameter of sphere = 18 ; radius(r) = diameter / 2 = 18/2 = 9cm

V = (4/3) × π × 9^3

V = 1.3333 × π × 729

V = 3053.5517 cm^3

When diameter(d) is reduced to half

d = d/2

Volume (V1) of sphere with diameter 'd' =

V1 = (4/3)π(d/2)^3

Volume (V2) of sphere with diameter 'd' reduced to half, d = d/2, d/2 * 1/2 = d/4

V2 = (4/3)π(d/4)^3

V1 / V2 = [(4/3)π(d/2)^3] / [(4/3)π(d/4)^3]

What is the project's discounted payback?WACC: 10.00%Year : Cash flows0 : -$9001 : $5002 : $5003 : $500 How did space exploration affect the Cold War during the 70s? what is the radical of 572 PLZ HELP! in a gp the sixth term is 8 times the third term, and the sum of the seventh and eighth term is 192. determine the common ratio Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Data for this problem are based on information taken from The Desert Bighorn, edited by Monson and Sumner 9University of Arizona Press). Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information:x 1 2 3 4 5y 14 18.9 14.4 19.6 20.0x=15 ; y=87.3;x2=55; y2=1569.77; xy=275(a) Draw a scatter diagram.(b) Find the equation of the least-squares line, and plot the line on the scatter diagram of part (a).(c) Find the correlation coefficient r. Find the coefficient of determination . What percentage of variation in y is explained by the variation in x and the least squares model? given that the amplitude of the scattered light is (1) directly proportional to that of incident light (2) directly propotional to the volume of the scattering dust particles (3)inversely proportional to its distance from the scattering particles and (4) dependent upon the wavelength of the light. show that the intensity of scattered light varies as 1/wavelength^4 During cellular movement which filaments will be the ones that are responsible for attaching and pulling the other filaments along? By using ____, you can use reasonable, easy-to-remember names for methods and concentrate on their purpose rather than on memorizing different method names. A company sells DVD players for $200 per unit. The players have a unit variable cost of $160. The company estimates that it will sell one home entertainment system for every four DVD players sold. Home entertainment systems have a unit variable cost of $460 and sell for $600 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $90,000. Assuming that the sales mix estimate is correct, how many DVD players need to be sold for the company to break even? * The American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in theUnited States have diabetes. Suppose that a medical lab has developeda simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people whohave the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it. Themedical lab gives the test to a randomly selected person. What is theprobability that the diagnosis is correct? Explain each step. John has an escalator clause in his labor contract by which his salary increases automatically by the amount of the previous year's inflation rate. If John's salary is $100,000, this year's consumer price index is 105, and the previous year's CPI was 100, by what percent will John's salary be increased? A company has 8 mechanics and 6 electricians. If an employee is selected at random, what is the probability that they are an electrician Pulse rates of women are normally distributed with a mean of 77.5 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 11.6 beats per minute. 1. What are the values of the mean and standard deviation after converting all pulse rates of women to z scores using z = (x - mu )? 2. What are the units of the corresponding z scores? A. The z scores are measured with units of "beats per minute". B. The z scores are measured with units of "minutes per beat". C. The z scores are measured with units of "beats." D. The z scores are numbers without units of measurement.
