A painter can paint a building in 15 days and a coworker can do the same job in 10 days. If the first painter starts and 3 days later the coworker joins in to help finish the job, how many days does it take to paint the building?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  7.8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Painter can get the job done in 15 days so gets [tex]\dfrac{1}{15}[/tex] of the job done in 1 day.

Coworker can get the job done in 10 days so gets [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] of the job done in 1 day.

Together, they get [tex]\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] of the job done in 1 day.

Painter worked for 3 days so completed [tex]\dfrac{1}{15}(3)=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of the job.

That leaves a remaining of [tex]1-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex] of the job to be completed.

Let x represent the number of days it will take them to work together.

Painter + Coworker = Together

[tex]\dfrac{1}{15}(x)\quad +\quad \dfrac{1}{10}(x)\quad =\quad \dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]

Multiply by 30 to eliminate the denominator:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{15}(x)(30) +\ \dfrac{1}{10}(x)(30) = \dfrac{4}{5}(30)[/tex]

Simplify and solve for x:

    2x + 3x = 24

            5x = 24

              [tex]x=\dfrac{24}{5}[/tex]

              x = 4.8

Remember that Painter worked 3 days alone in addition to the 4.8 days they worked together.

So the total time to paint the building is 3 + 4.8 = 7.8

Answers

Answer:

28.142m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle=width x lenght

so; (rotating the formula with what is given)

area of rectangle/width=lenght

197/7=lenght

28.142m =lenght

Answer:

Length is 18 m and width is 11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

So based on the information given length is seven cm more than your width, and since we don’t know the values of these, we can plot this information into a formula that looks like this: (x+7)(x)=198, which is basically how you take the area of the plot of land.

If you multiply your values, you will get a quadratic equation that looks like this x²+7x-198. If you follow the quadratic formula to solve this equation, the positive result you will get for x is 11, this is your width. And since length exceeds by 7, you just add 7 to 11 to find the length, which ends up being 18.

to verify, you can simply multiply these two values

C. The robot uses the expected amount of energy, but it doesn't filter the expected amount of air

D. The robot doesn't meet either of Nadia's expectations.​

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. The robot filters the expected amount of air and water, but it doesn't use the expected amount of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The given requirements are;

Volume of air and water to be filtered by the robot = 343 liters

The amount of energy consumed by the robot < 49 joules

The number of minutes the robot filters air and water to filter more than 343 liters = 12A + 8W > 343

The number of minutes the robot filters air and with less than 49 Joule of energy = 3A + 4W < 49

Given that filtering air takes 20 minutes, filtering water takes 15 minutes, we have;

To filter more than 343 liters, we have

12*20 + 8*15 = 360 > 343

The robot meets the amount of air and water requirement

To filter with less than 49 joules we have

3*20 + 4*15 = 120 > 49

Therefore, the robot does not meet the energy requirement

The correct option is the robot filters the expected amount of air and water, but it doesn't use the expected amount of energy.

The Company manufactures an equal amount of ball bearings ( 20 % 20\% 20%) on each weekday. What is the probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday is 0.375.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability of an events X given that another event A has already occurred is:

[tex]P(X|A)=\frac{P(A|X)P(X)}{P(A)}[/tex]

The information provided is as follows:

P (D|M) = 0.08

P (D|Tu) = 0.04

P (D|W) = 0.04

P (D|Th) = 0.04

P (D|F) = 0.12

It is provided that the Company manufactures an equal amount of ball bearings, 20% on each weekday, i.e.

P (M) = P (Tu) = P (W) = P (Th) = P (F) = 0.20

Compute the probability of manufacturing a defective ball bearing on any given day as follows:

[tex]P(D)=P(D|M)P(M)+P(D|Tu)P(Tu)+P(D|W)P(W)\\+P(D|Th)P(Th)+P(D|F)P(F)[/tex]

      [tex]=(0.08\times 0.20)+(0.04\times 0.20)+(0.04\times 0.20)+(0.04\times 0.20)+(0.12\times 0.20)\\\\=0.064[/tex]

Compute the probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday as follows:

[tex]P(F|D)=\frac{(D|F)P(F)}{P(D)}[/tex]

             [tex]=\frac{0.12\times 0.20}{0.064}\\\\=0.375[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a defective ball bearing was manufactured on a Friday is 0.375.

Now use technology and use the cumulative probability​ 0.95, the mean muequals10.5​, and the standard deviation sigmaequals4.10 to determine the value for x0​, rounding to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following values

Cumulative probability ( confidence interval) = 0.95 = 95%

Mean = 10.5

Standard deviation = 4.10

We are asked to find the value of x.

To solve for x , we would be using the z score formula.

z score = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation

z score was not given in the question, but we have our cumulative probability as 95%(0.95).

Using the appropriate table,

the z score for 95% confidence is z = 1.96.

Therefore,

z score = (x-μ)/σ,

1.96 = x - 10.5/4.10

Cross multiply

1.96×4.10 = x - 10.5

x = (1.96 × 4.10) + 10.5

x = 8.036 + 10.5

x = 18.536

Approximately to 1 decimal place

x = 18.5

Extreme ends of the diameter of the circle,

(-4, 1) and (-4, -3)

Center of the circle = Midpoint of the diameter

Center = [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

           = [tex](\frac{-4-4}{2},\frac{1-3}{2})[/tex]

           = (-4, -1)

Radius of the circle = Distance between the center and extreme end

                                = 2 units

Since standard equation of the circle is,

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center and 'r' is the radius of the circle

By substituting the values in the standard equation,

(x + 4)² + (y + 1)² = 2²

(x + 4)² + (y + 1)² = 4

Answers

Answer:

He spent $6 on each file

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To solve this question, we need to bring out our variables from the equation.

He spent $40.80 for 3 files and 2 pencil cases

Let x represent the file

Let y represent the pencil case

But the file is $5.40 less than each pencil case

x = y - 5.40.....equation (i)

40.80 = 3x + 2y .......equation (ii)

Substitute equation (i) into equation (ii)

40.80 = 3(y - 5.40) + 2y

40.80 = 3y - 16.20 + 2y

Collect like terms

40.80 + 16.20 = 3y + 2y

57 = 5y

Solve for y

y = 57 / 5

y = 11.4

The pencil case costs $11.4 each.

Put y = 11.4 into equation (i)

x = 11.4 - 5.40

x = 6.0

The file costs $6 each

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

b) Vertically stretches by a factor 2 then flip over horizontal axis

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function y = -2×cos(x - pi), given that the maximum value of the cosine function is 1 and that the value of the cosine function ranges from +1 to -1, we have that a factor larger than 1, multiplying a cosine function vertically stretches the function and a negative factor flips the function over the horizontal axis by transforming the y-coordinate value from y to -y

Therefore, the factor of -2, vertically stretches the the function by a factor of 2 then flip over horizontal axis.
