A special piece of equipment is used at a construction site to dig holes. A hole is dug to a depth of 3.25 feet when the equipment hits rock. The progress slows to 5/8 feet per hour of digging. The depth of the hole must be at least 11 1/2 feet by the end of the day to stay on schedule. What is the minimum amount of time the equipment must continue at its present rate to complete the hole on schedule?

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statement.
The equipment requires at least 13 or 23 hours and 2/6/12/36 minutes to complete the hole on schedule.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13 hours and 12 minutes 


Step-by-step explanation:

You put 3.25 as a fraction which is 3 1/4. then I took 3 1/4 and misused it by 11 1/2. 23/2 - 13/4 = 8 1/4 then we took the 5/8 and divided it by 33/4 (3 1/4) I got 13 1/5. 13 1/5 is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

Answer 2

Minimum amount of time taken to complete the hole is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

What is proportion?

In mathematics, proportion is an equation where two ratios are taken to be equal to each other. Suppose if a:b = c:d, then [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex].

In the question, it is given that, a hole is already dug to a depth of 3.25 feet = 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet.

Also, the depth of hole at the end of the day must be atleast 11 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet.

Remaining depth of the hole needed to dug = 11 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet

Rate of digging is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] feet per hour.

We have to find how much time will be taken for  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet.

In proportional form, it can be written as  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] : 1 = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] : x, where x is the time taken to complete  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] feet.

⇒  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] / 1 =  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] / x

Cross multiplying, we get

 [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] × x = [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] × 1

⇒ x =  [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{66}{5}[/tex] = 13 [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Hence the minimum amount of time the equipment must continue at the present rate to complete the hole on schedule is 13 hours and 12 minutes.

Answer:

-1/2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the negative sign from the right side to make the equation positive

1/4x - 7 + (-1)(3/4x) + (-1)(-5)

(basically multiplying -1 to 3/4x and -5 to eliminate it)

1/4x - 7 + -3/4x+ 5

Make the equation similar

(1/4x + -3/4x) + (-7 + 5)

combine like terms

1/4x + -3/4x = -2/4x --> Simplifies to -1/2x

Do the other integers

-7 + 5 = -2

The missing values in the ratio table are;

⇒ 6 : 3 , 24 : 12, and 18 : 9

What is mean by Ratio?

A ratio indicates how many times one number contain in another number. The ratio of two number is written as x : y, which is equivalent to x/y.

Where, x and y are individual amount of two quantities.

And, Total quantity gives after combine as x + y.

Given that;

Peoples = 6 ,   18

Benches = 3, 12

Now,

The equivalent ratios are;

⇒ 6 : 3 , x : 12 , 18 : y

Find the values of x and y as;

Since, All the ratio are equivalent.

So, we get;

⇒ 6 : 3 = x : 12

⇒ 6 / 3 = x / 12

⇒ 6 × 12 / 3 = x

⇒ x = 24

And, ⇒ 6 : 3 = 18 : y

⇒ 6 / 3 = 18 / y

⇒ 6 × y = 18 × 3

⇒ y = 18 × 3 / 6

⇒ y = 9

Thus, The missing values in the ratio table are;

⇒ 6 : 3 , 24 : 12, and 18 : 9

Kimi brought chocolate and vanilla cupcakes to school for her birthday. 2 students picked a vanilla cupcake and 18 students picked a chocolate cupcake. What percentage of the students picked a vanilla cupcake?

Answers

10% is your answer. Take the total number of students and use that as a divisor of 100 so 100/20 = 5% so each kid represents 5 percent. Then if you take the 2 kids who got vanilla cup cakes and if each one is 5% then 5%+5%= 10%

Answer: 10% of students picked a vanilla cupcake.

Explanation: 18 + 2 = 20. 20 is 100% of 20. 20/10 = 2, and 2 is 10% of 20, therefore 10% of students picked a vanilla cupcake.

Answer:

-0.7333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4 x 2 1/3 =  3.2666667

3.266...  -  4 = . 7333...

So if you need it as a simplified mixed fraction you just have to turn 2.333333… into a fraction that would give you -2 1/3.

The reason for this is if you subtract 2 1/3 and 4 he would get -1.666666… then if you multiply that by 1.4 then you would get -2.33333333…. And then if you want to put that as a fraction you have to leave the negative two alone and turn 0.333333… into a fraction which would respectively be 1/3. Then finally you could add to the -2 and 1/3 together and then he would get your answer which is -2 1/3… hope this helps pal

Step-by-step explanation:

General arithmetic sequence formula: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where [tex]a_1[/tex] = first term, and d = common difference.

The first term is -8

And the common difference appears to be - 7 as 7 is subtracted to get to the next term. Ex. -8 - 7 = -15, -15 - 7 = - 22 and so on.

To get the explicit formula of the sequence we simply plug in the values of a1 and d the general arithmetic sequence formula

General formula: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

We have [tex]a_1=-8[/tex] and d = -7

So the formula to find the nth term would be
