12. Of two inlet pipes, the smaller pipe takes four hours longer than the larger pipe to fill a
pool. When both pipes are open, the pool is filled in three hours and forty-five minutes. If
only the larger pipe is open, how many hours are required to fill the pool?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller pipe fill the pool in x hours and the bigger pipe y hours.

x-y=4

1/x+1/y=4/15

x=10, y=6

so 6 hours

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

l = large pipe

s = small pipe

s needs x hours alone to fill the pool.

l needs x-4 hours alone to fill the pool.

s does 1/x of the work in 1 hour.

l does 1/(x-4) of the work in 1 hour.

3 hours 45 minutes = 3.75 hours

3.75 × 1/x + 3.75 × 1/(x-4) = 1 (= the whole work)

3.75 + 3.75 × x/(x-4) = x

3.75×(x-4) + 3.75×x = x(x-4) = x² - 4x

3.75x - 15 + 3.75x = x² - 4x

7.5x - 15 = x² - 4x

-15 = x² - 11.5x

0 = x² - 11.5x + 15

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -11.5

c = 15

x = (11.5 ± sqrt(132.25 - 4×1×15))/(2×1) =

= (11.5 ± sqrt(72.25))/2 = (11.5 ± 8.5)/2

x1 = (11.5 + 8.5)/2 = 20/2 = 10

x2 = (11.5 - 8.5)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

x = 1.5 would turn l = 1/(x-4) negative, which does not make sense.

so, x = 10 is our solution.

that means

s does 1/10 of the work in 1 hour.

so, the small pipe alone fills the pool in 10 hours.

l does 1/(10-4) = 1/6 of the work in 1 hour.

so, the large pipe alone fills the pool in 6 hours.

The measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees and the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

How to solve for angle A?

Start by solving the acute part of angle A using the following sine function

sin(Ax) = (30 - 4)/32

Evaluate the quotient

sin(Ax) = 0.8125

Take the arc sin of both sides

Ax = 54.3

The measure of angle A is then calculated as:

A = 90 + Ax

This gives

A = 90 + 54.3

Evaluate

A = 144.3

Hence, the measure of angle A is 144.3 degrees

The angle to cut the molding

In (a), we have:

Ax = 54.3

This represents the angle where the molding would be cut

Hence, the angle to cut the molding is 54.3 degrees

A parallelogram has sides measuring 200mm by 150mm. what would be the length of side of a square having the same perimeter?​

Answers

Answer:

175mm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total perimeter of the parallelogram we must add 200+200+150+150

This equals 700. Then, since squares have side lengths that are all equal, we have to divide by 4.

700 / 4 = 175

So, the length of a side of a square having this perimeter would be 175mm

A highway patrol officer is seated on a motorcycle on a curvy section of Highway 1. The posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour on this stretch of highway. The officer is monitoring traffic using radar. The next exit is 3.6 miles up the road. The radar picks up a speeding car averaging 68 mph. When the officer tries to start his motorcycle to follow the car, it won’t start. He tries again and again, and soon he fears that he won’t be able to catch the speeding car before it turns off the highway. Finally, his motorcycle starts and he begins the pursuit 30 seconds after the speeding car has passed him on the roadside.
How fast does the officer need to go to catch up to the speeding car? What is his average speed in pursuit?

Answers

Answer:

  80.7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to catch the car at the exit, the officer must cover the distance in 30 seconds less time than the car does. The time, speed, distance relation can be used.

Time for car to reach the exit

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

Here, speed is in miles per hour, and distance is in miles. That means time will be given in hours by the straightforward application of this formula.

  time = (3.6 mi)/(68 mi/h) = (3.6/68) h = 9/170 h

Time for the motorcycle to reach the exit

There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, so 30 seconds represents this fraction of 1 hour:

  30/3600 = 1/120

The motorcycle will have this amount of time less than the time the car takes to reach the exit, so ...

  (9/170 -1/120) h = (9(120)-170)/(170×120) h = 910/20400 h = 91/2040 h

Motorcycle speed

The speed required to cover 3.6 miles in 91/2040 hours is ...

  speed = distance/time

  (3.6 mi)/(91/2040 h) = 3.6×2040/91 mph = 7344/91 mph ≈ 80.7 mph

The officer's average speed in pursuit must be 80.7 miles per hour (or faster).

__

Additional comment

There are other ways the problem can be worked. One of them is to consider the remaining distance the car must travel when the officer begins pursuit. That will be 3.6 mi less (1/120 h)(68 mi/h) = 17/30 miles. The ratio of the officer's speed to the car's speed will be the same as the ratio of the officer's miles to the car's miles: 3.6/(3.6 -17/30) × 68 mph ≈ 80.7 mph.

Intermediate values used in the calculations should be kept at full calculator precision. Rounding should only be done at the end. Here, the actual speed required is 80.7032967... mph, rounded down for the above result.

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of money invested at 8%, y represent the amount of money invested at 9% and z represent the amount of money invested at 12%

x + y + z = 7700   (1)

Total interest is:

(x * 1 * 0.08) + (y * 1 * 0.09) + (z * 1 * 0.12) = total interest

0.08x + 0.09y + 0.12z = 811    (

What is the firm's quick ratio?

First, find the maximum amount of short-term funds that Nelson can raise?

Assuming this amount is x, we can find it with the current ratio formula:

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2 = (1,260,000 + x) / ( 450,000 + x)

x = $360,000

The quick ratio would therefore be:

= ( New Current assets - New inventory) / New current liabilities

= ( (1,260,000 + 360,000) - (285,000 + 360,000) ) / (450,000 + 360,000)

Part b: Find two values of x that will create a profit of $300 .

Part c: Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000 ?

Answers

b. The two values of x that will create a profit of $300 is 20 and 60

c. it is not possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000

What is profit?

The profit is the selling price minus the cost price.

Therefore,

Profit = revenue - cost

a.

The expression for profit is as follows;

p(x) = 90x − 0.5x² - (50x + 300)

p(x) = 90x − 0.5x²  - 50x - 300

p(x) = -0.5x² + 40x - 300

b.

The two values of x that will create a profit of $300 is as follows;

-0.5x² + 40x - 300 = 300

-0.5x² + 40x - 600 = 0

0.5x² - 40x + 600 = 0

x² - 80x + 1200 = 0

(x - 20)(x - 60)  = 0

x = 20 and 60

Therefore, the two value of x are 20 and 60

c.

-0.5x² + 40x - 300  = 15000

-0.5x² + 40x - 300 - 15000 = 0

-0.5x² + 40x - 15300 = 0
