Nancy can paint a fence in 3 hours. It takes Ben 4 hours to do the same job. If they were to work together to paint a fence, approximately how many hours should it take?

Answers

Answer 1

If they work together, they would  work for 1 hour and 43 minutes

What do we do?

We know that the key step that we would have to take here is to convert the sentence that have been given to us to equations and that is how we can be able to obtain the parameters that we are looking for in the problem here.

As such;

Let x = time (hours) it takes for both

then;

x(1/3 + 1/4) = 1

If both of the sides can be multiplied by 12.

x(4 + 3) = 12

x(7) = 12

x = 12/7

x = 1.71 hours or 1 hour and 43 minutes

What are Inequality Equations?

Inequalities are the mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.

In an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.

Given data ,

Let the number be x

8 - x/3 ≥ 11

Subtracting 8 on both sides , we get

-x/3 ≥ 3

Multiplying by 3 on both sides , we get

-x ≥ 9

Interchanging the sign on both sides , we get

x ≤ -9

Hence , the solution is x ≤ -9

Otis is packing two gift boxes in a shipping carton. The rest of the space in the carton will be filled with packing pellets. What is the volume of the space that needs to be filled with packing pellets?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V_3 = 1916in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for gift items and the shipping carton

Required

Determine the volume of the empty space

First, we calculate the volume of the carton.

[tex]V = LWH[/tex]

From the attachment

L = 16; W =11 and H =13

So:

[tex]V = 16*11*13[/tex]

[tex]V = 2288[/tex]

Next, calculate the volume of the blue wrap

[tex]V = lwh[/tex]

From the attachment

l = 9; w =9 and h =2

So:

[tex]V_1 = 9 * 9 * 2[/tex]

[tex]V_1 = 162[/tex]

Next, calculate the volume of the pink wrap

[tex]V = lwh[/tex]

From the attachment

l = 6; w =5 and h =7

So:

[tex]V_2 = 6*5*7[/tex]

[tex]V_2 = 210[/tex]

The volume of the rest space (V3) is then calculated as:

[tex]V_3 = V - V_1 -V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_3 = 2288 - 162 -210[/tex]

[tex]V_3 = 1916[/tex]

Hence, the rest volume is 1916in^3\

find the vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = (x-4) (x+2)

Answers

Answer:

vertex = (1, - 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- coordinate of the vertex is at the midpoint of the zeros.

Given

f(x) = (x - 4)(x + 2)

Find the zeros by letting f(x) = 0 , that is

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Then

[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2+4}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] = 1

Substitute x = 1 into f(x) for corresponding y- coordinate

f(1) = (1 - 4)(1 + 2) = (- 3)(3) = - 9

Vertex = (1, - 9 )

Base angle of an isosceles triangle is 15 degrees more than its vertical angle.

To find:

The measure of each angle of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the vertical angle. Then,

One base angle = x+15 degrees

We know that base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Another base angle = x+15 degrees

Now, the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees by the angle sum property.

[tex]x^\circ+(x+15)^\circ+(x+15)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]          (Angle sum property)

[tex](3x+30)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]3x+30=180[/tex]

[tex]3x=180-30[/tex]

[tex]3x=150[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]x=\dfrac{150}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=50[/tex]

The measure of base angles is

[tex](x+15)^\circ=(50+15)^\circ[/tex]

[tex](x+15)^\circ=65^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angles are 50°, 65° and 65°.

Answers

Answer: 42.5ft

Step-by-step explanation: The wording in your question is a little unclear. I assume that you are looking for how far the anchor line is from the base of the tower.

If so, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^ = c^2

96^ + b^2 = 105^2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To classify a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides must be parallel or congruent, that is in a quadrilateral ABCD, angle AB must equal CD and angle AD must equal BC.

Hence, when Felix said quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram because of BE = DE. His error was that "there is no angle E in the quadrilateral presented in the question and the angle he used are not on opposite side"
