Fraction are ratio of two integers. It will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone

<h3>Proporions and fractions</h3>

From the given question, we have the following information

Let the number of days Amen can take to complete a task be x

If Payson is thrice as fast as Amen at completing a task, then the number of das Payson takes will be 3x

If they both pick up a task together, and complete it in 5 days, then;

1/x + 1/3x = 1/5

Find the LCM
3+1/3x = 1/5

4/3x = 1/5

Cross multiply

3x = 20

Determine the time taken by Amen:

x =20/3

This shows that it will take Amen 20 days to do the task alone

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.- (2b - 1) (b + 8) = 0

    2b - 1 = 0           b + 8 = 0

     b = 1/2              b = -8

2.- (x + 3)(x - 12) = 0

     x + 3 = 0            x - 12 = 0

     x = -3                  x = 12

3.- (4b+ 7)(b + 11)

    4b + 7 = 0           b + 11 = 0

      b = -7/4             b = -11

4.- (k - 8)(k + 6)

     k - 8 = 0             k + 6 = 0

    k = 8                   k = -6

5.- (2n + 12)(5n+ 10)

     2n + 12 = 0             5n + 10 = 0

       n = -12/2 = -6          n = -10/5 = -2

6.- (w - 3)(3w - 7)

      w - 3 = 0                3w - 7 = 0

      w = 3                        w = 7/3

7.- (6n - 5)(n - 10)

     6n - 5 = 0                n - 10 = 0

      n = 5/6                   n = 10

8.- (n + 12)((4n + 7)

     n + 12 = 0                 4n + 7 = 0

     n = -12                         n = -7/4

9.- (3b + 4)(5b - 10)

      3b + 4 = 0                 5b - 10 = 0

       b = -4/3                     b = 10/5 = 2

10.- (p - 6)(p + 10)

       p - 6 = 0                  p + 10 = 0

       p = 6                        p = -10

What is the measure of AC?<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> (4x - 5.5)<br> (5x+25)
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The measure of arc AC is 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

m∠ABC=(1/2)[arc AC]

substitute

(4x-5.5)°=(1/2)[5x+25]°

(8x-11)°=(5x+25)°

8x-5x=25+11

3x=36

x=12°

Find the measure of arc AC

arc AC=(5x+25)°

arc AC=5(12)+25=85°

Jason bought 10 of the 30 raffle tickets for a drawing. What is the probability that Jason will win all 3 of the prizes if once
anastassius [24]

For the first drawing, there are  30  tickets altogether, and Jason
has  10  of them.  The probability that one of his tickets will win is

                                                               10 / 30 .

For the second drawing, there are  29  tickets altogether, and Jason
has  9  of them.  The probability that one of his tickets will win is

                                                                 9 / 29 .

For the third drawing, there are  28  tickets altogether, and Jason
has  8  of them.  The probability that one of his tickets will win is

                                                                 8 / 28 .

The probability that all three of these things will happen is

                      (10/30) x (9/29) x (8/28)  =  720 / 24,360

                                                             =  6 / 203  =  2.96 percent (rounded)
