When two pipes fill a pool together, they can finish in 4 hours. If one of the pipes fills half the pool then the other takes over and finishes filling the pool, it will take them 9 hours. How long will it take each pipe to fill the pool if it were working alone?

One pipe takes __ hours alone.
The other pipe takes __ hours alone.

Answers

Answer 1

One pipe takes 6 hours working alone.

The other pipe takes 12 hours working alone.

This is a rate of work problem. The formula utilized is

[tex]w=r\times t[/tex]

where

[tex]w[/tex] is the work done[tex]r[/tex] is the rate of work done[tex]t[/tex] is the time taken to do the work

We are looking for how long it will take each pipe to completely fill the pool

For pipe 1 working alone to fill 1 pool, the work done is 1;

[tex]w=r\times t\\\\1 = r_1 \times t_1\\\\t_1=\frac{1}{r_1}[/tex]

For pipe 2 working alone to fill 1 pool, the work done is 1;

[tex]w=r\times t\\\\1 = r_2 \times t_2\\\\t_2=\frac{1}{r_2}[/tex]

From the question, it would take 9 hours if each pipe took turns to fill half the pool. That is;

[tex]\frac{t_1}{2}+\frac{t_2}{2}=9\\\\t_1+t_2=18[/tex]

However, if both pipes worked together, it would take 4 hours for each pipe. That is;

[tex]w_1+w_2=w\\\\r_1t_1+r_2t_2=w\\\\4r_1+4r_2=1\\\\r_1+r_2=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Remember that [tex]r_1=\frac{1}{t_1}[/tex] and [tex]r_2=\frac{1}{t_2}[/tex]. So,

[tex]\frac{1}{t_1}+\frac{1}{t_2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{t_1+t_2}{t_1t_2}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Also recall that [tex]t_1+t_2=18[/tex]. So,

[tex]\frac{18}{t_1t_2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\t_1t_2=72[/tex]

The only factors of 72 that satisfy the conditions

[tex]t_1+t_2=18\\\\t_1t_2=72[/tex]

are 6 and 12.

Therefore, pipe 1 will take 6 hours, and pipe 2 will take 12 hours to fill the pool if working alone.

Answers

Answer:

y=9, x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=5 --> equation 1

2x-5y=-31 --> equation 2

change signs of equation 1

-2x+y=-5

solving method

-2x+y=-5                   (cut -2x and 2x because -2x+2x =0)

2x-5y=-31                       (likewise +y-5y and -5-31)

-4y= -36            (since -4 is multiplying on right side it will divide)

y= -36/-4             (cut negative with negative and simplify equation)

y= 9                  

put value of y in equation 1

2x-y=5

2x-9=5

2x= 14

Rachel has 16 chocolate bars . Tracy takes 4 and asks for the remaining quarter. what would she end up with?

Answers

Answer:

Rachel ends up with 9 chocolate bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

16 - 4 = 12

quater is 1/4, so

12 / 4 = 3

12 - 3 = 9

Answer:

9 chocolate bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel had 16 chocolate bars and Tracy takes (minus) 4.Now she has 12.

Tracy asks for the remaining (12) quarter. A quarter is 1/4, and a quarter of 12 is 3.

That leaves Rachel with 9, because 12 - 3 is 9.

A contestant on a game show spins a wheel that is located on a plane perpendicular to the floor. He grabs the only red peg on the circumference of the wheel, which is 1.5 m above the floor (the peg is) and pushes it downward. The peg reaches a min height of 0.25 m and a max height of 2.75 m above the floor. Sketch two cycles of the graph representing the height above the ground as a function of the total distance moved. Then determine the equation of the sine function

Answers

The spin of the wheel by the contestant is an illustration of a sine function whose equation is [tex]\mathbf{y =-1.25 sin(0.8x) + 0.25}[/tex]

The wheel is 1.5 m above the floor, and the peg reaches a maximum height of 2.75 m.

So, the amplitude is:

[tex]\mathbf{A = 1.5 - 2.75}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = -1.25}[/tex]

The vertical shift is the minimum height of the peg.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{D = 0.25}[/tex]

The period (T) equals one circumference.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T = (max-min)\pi}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{T = (2.75-0.25)\pi}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T = 2.5\pi}[/tex]

The frequency (B) is then calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{B = \frac{2\pi}{T}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{B = \frac{2\pi}{2.5\pi}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\mathbf{B = 0.8}[/tex]

A sine function is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{y =A sin(B(x + C)) + D}[/tex]

Substitute the calculated values

[tex]\mathbf{y =-1.25 sin(0.8(x + C)) + 0.25}[/tex]

The horizontal shift (C) is 0.

So, the function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{y =-1.25 sin(0.8x) + 0.25}[/tex]

A bike that weighs 22 pounds and 3 ounces weighs a total of ____ounces.

Answers

Answer:

355 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! We're going to have to use some conversion factors for this problem, since we're working with two different units (pounds and ounces). We know that there are 16 ounces in a pound - that's our first conversion factor. We can use it to write up a little equation to help us:

[tex]\frac{22lbs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x[/tex]

"x" is the total amount of ounces. Does everything in that equation make sense? The first multiplication part tells us how many ounces are in 22 pounds, and the second part (+ 3) adds the 3 ounces that were there from the beginning. Now, it's time to calculate.

[tex]\frac{22bs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{352oz}{1} + 3 = x[/tex]

[tex]352+3 = x[/tex]

[tex]x=355[/tex]

So, there are 355 ounces in a bike that weighs 22 pounds and 3 ounces. Hopefully that's helpful! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total=70.

Last week she posted= 2/5 of 70= She posted 28 last week

So, 42 left

then, she posted 4/7 of remaining (42)

4/7 of 42 is 24

42-24= 18

She still needs to post 18 flyers

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer:

OK, so she started with 70 fliers.

Last week, she posted 2/5 of them. 2/5 of 70 is equal to 28, so she has 28 fliers less than she started with. 70-28=42.

This week, she posted 4/7 of the remaining fliers (42). 4/7 of 42 is equal to 24. So, she has 24 less than 42, so 42-24=18.

She still needs to post 18 fliers.

A line passes through the point (0, -3/2) and has a slope of 1/2. what is the eqaution of the line?

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply our knowledge of slope intercept form:

y = 1/2 x + b

therefore, we  plug in the values for x and y getting

-3/2 = 0 + b

so b = -3/2, plug it back into the equation getting

y = 1/2x - 3/2

You earn

$

a. Write and graph a system of linear inequalities
that represents the situation.
b. Identify and interpret a solution of the system.
c. Use the graph to determine whether you can work
8 hours at the grocery store and teach 1 hour of
music lessons.

Answers

We want to get a system of inequalities that models the given situation.

The solutions are:

a) The system is:

x ≥ 8x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120x + y ≤ 20.y ≥ 0

And the graph can be seen at the end.

b) A solution can be x = 12 and y = 2

c) x = 8 and y = 1 is not a solution.

First, we need to define two variables:

x = number of hours working as a manager.y = number of hours teaching lessons.

a) First, we know that you must at least 8 hours per week in the grocery store, then:

x ≥ 8

We know that you need to earn at least $120 per week, then we have the inequality:

x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120

And you don't want to work more than 20 hours per week, this gives:

x + y ≤ 20.

We also add the trivial restriction:

y ≥ 0

Then the system is:

x ≥ 8x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120x + y ≤ 20.y ≥ 0

The graph can be seen at the end.

b) The solution region is the interception of the four shaded regions (is the dark blue part).

A solution in that region can be:

x = 12

y = 2

c) The point x = 8, y = 1 is graphed, you can see that it is outside the solution region, thus, this is not a solution.
