Sam and you are going to paint your room together.
Sam takes 10 minutes to paint 25 square feet.
It takes you 5 minutes to paint 25 square feet.
Sam says, "If we paint together, then it will take 15
minutes for us to cover 50 square feet."
Give an explanation to convince Sam that she is
incorrect

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes you together 6.67 minutes to paint 50 square feet, as you have to consider that the together rate is the sum of the separate rates.

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of the separate rates.

In this question:

Sam's rate is 1/10 for 25 square feet, so 1/20 for 50 square feet.

Your's rate is 1/5 for 25 square feet, so 1/10 for 50 square feet.

Together rate:

[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{2}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3}{20}[/tex]

[tex]3x = 20[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{20}{3} = 6.67[/tex]

It takes you together 6.67 minutes to paint 50 square feet, as you have to consider that the together rate is the sum of the separate rates.

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of $212.50 + 15% of $235.00 + 15% of $215.75 + 15% of $199.67 =

= 0.15 * $212.50 + 0.15 * $235.00 + 0.15 * $215.75 + 0.15 * $199.67

Your gas company charges you a standing charge of 9 pence per day and 2 pence per kilowatt-hour (KWh).
In the last quarter (90 days) you used 500 units (m3) of gas. 1 unit is approximately 11.1KWh.
How much is your bill for the last quarter?

Answers

Answer:

$8.10 + 55.50 x $2 KW

= 8.10 + 111.00 = $119.10  

Step-by-step explanation:

d = days and x = kw/h

9d = 2x = 9(90) = 500m3

1 unit m3 =  11.1 kwh

We rewrite

9(90) = 500 x 11.1

500 x 11.1 = 5550 KW

0.09 x 90 = 5550 KW

8.1 + 5550 x 0.02

= 8.1 + 111 KW  

= 119.10

= $119.10

Write a rule for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. Then graph the first six terms of the sequence. a6=-12 a12=-36

Answers

Answer:

We need to find the first term.  We can use the formula

an = a1 + d(n - 1)

to solve for a1.  We already know the 12th term, a12, common difference, d, and nth sequence, n.

a12 = -36

d = -4

n = 12

-36 = a1 - 4(12 - 1)

-36 = a1 - 44

8 = a1

The first term is 8.  Therefore, your formula is

an = 8 - 4(n - 1)

an = -4n + 12

Then use this formula to graph.

n is the independent variable.

an is the dependent variable.

Your graph will be a line.

Answers

Answer:

4x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]t = time[/tex]

[tex]s = speed[/tex]

So:

[tex]t = 2; s = (2x +5)[/tex] --- first 2 hours

[tex]t = 3; s = (3x -5)[/tex] --- last 3 hours

Required

Distance covered in the first 2 hours

Distance (d) is calculated as:

[tex]Distance = speed * time[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]d = s * t[/tex]

For the first 2 hours, we have:

[tex]t = 2; s = (2x +5)[/tex]

So:

[tex]d = (2x + 5) * 2[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]d =2x * 2 + 5 * 2[/tex]

[tex]d =4x + 10[/tex]

Hence, the distance covered in 4x + 10

Find x if the average of 19, 12, 14, 18, and x is 12.

Answers

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, let's arrange it into an equation:

(19+12+14+18+x) / 5 = 12

Let's shift the 5 to the other side by multiplying 12 by 5, which is 60. Now the equation looks like this:

19+12+14+18 + x = 60

Now let's add 19, 12, 14 and 18 together, which is 63:

63 + x =60

Let's move the 63 over to the other side by subtracting it from 60, so 60-63 equals -3. Hence, the answer is -3. Hope this helps!

x=4

Solution:-9(x - 2) = 18

=> 9x = 36

=> x = 36/9

=> x = 4 (Ans)
