Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona are riding in a carriage to Far Far Away. The horses, Prescott and Thaddeus, are pulling the carriage all the way. Prescott alone could pull the carriage all the way to Far Far Away and back to The Swamp in 21 days, but together they are able to pull the carriage to Far Far Away in 9 days.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I suppose the question is what is Thaddeus' time to make the trip. This is a fairly common question but not everyone knows how to solve it.

Derivation of the Formula

Prescott + Thaddeus = 1 trip

So the logic of the equation is this.

distance = 1 trip

time = number of dates

rate = ?

rate = distance / time

To find out what the contribution of Thaddeus is set up  a distance time formula.

1/21 days is the rate for Prescott

1/x days is the rate for Thaddeus

Together the rate is 1/9

Solution

1/21 + 1/x = 1/9

Subtract 1/21  from both sides

1/x = 1/9 - 1/21

It's not obvious what the LCM is.

9 = 3 * 3

21 = 3 * 7

LCM: 7 * 3 *3 = 63

1/x = 7/63 - 3/63 = 4/63

1/x = 4/63                             Cross Multiply

4x = 63                                 Divide by 4

x = 63/4

Answer

x = 15 3/4

x = 15.75

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of students response is milk is 0.311.

What is probability?

Probability deals with the occurrence of a random event. The chance that a given event will occur. It is the measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.The value is expressed from zero to one.

For the given situation,

The table shows the students preference of milk, juice or water.

Total number of students preferred milk = 14

Total number of students = 45

Thus the probability that the students response is milk is

[tex]P(e)=\frac{14}{45}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]P(e)= 0.311[/tex]

Hence  we can conclude that the probability of students response is milk is 0.311.

Four friends shared 3 orders of chicken wings. • Alex ate 5 of an order. ·8· • Chase ate 7 of an order. ·8· • Ella ate 6 of an order. ·8· How much chicken is left for the fourth friend?

Answers

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of chicken ordered = 3

Fraction eaten by Alex = 5/8

Fraction eaten by Chase = 7/8

Fraction eaten by Ella = 6/8

The chicken ate by the three friends will be:

= 5/8 + 7/8 + 6/8

= 18/8

= 2 2/8

= 2 1/4

Now, the chicken left for the forty friend will be:

= 3 - 2 1/4

= 3/4

Answers

Answer:

Me to I need that Answer en m<k is 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of KL is 5.1 unit and the measure of ML is 6.1 unit.

What are trigonometric ratios?

The sides and angles of a right-angled triangle are dealt with in Trigonometry. The ratios of acute angles are called trigonometric ratios of angles. The six trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), cosecant (cosec), and secant (sec).

Given that, MK=8 units, ∠M=40° and ∠K=50°.

We know that, sinθ=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

Now, sin40°=KL/8

0.6427=KL/8

KL=0.6427×8

KL=5.1 units

sin50°=ML/8

0.7660=ML/8

ML=6.1 units

Therefore, the measure of KL is 5.1 unit and the measure of ML is 6.1 unit.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

First things first, we should find the rate of change / slope

given two points we can find the slope by using the slope formula which is

(let m be slope)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_2}[/tex]

To find the slope all we have to do is plug in the points

(1,5),(2,10)

remember the first numbers in an ordered pair are the x values and the second numbers are the y values

we also plug in the points of the second ordered pair first so

[tex]m=\frac{10-5}{2-1} \\10-5=5\\2-1=1\\m=\frac{5}{1} or5[/tex]

Knowing the slope we can create an equation to find the x value (a)

y=5x

given the y value we plug in y and solve for x

15=5x

divide each side by 5

15/5=3

5x/5=x

we're left with

x=3

so we can conclude when y =15 x = 3 therefore 3 is your answer
