Answer:

Carter family = 25 hours

Davis family = 31 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.

So combined:

x + y = 45 hours

and we are also told that:

40x + 15y = 1300 L

So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.

With some rearranging, we can figure out that:

y= 45 - x

and by substituting that into the second equation:

40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L

25x = 1300 - 675

25x = 625

x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler

and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:

25 + y = 56

y = 31

The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.

Ann [662]

Answer:

$113 \frac{1}{3}$ Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

solving using Pythagorean Theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$100^2+53.33^2 = c^2$

$10,000+2844.0889=c^2$

$12844.1=c^2$ square root

= $113 \frac{1}{3}$

Base on the explanation above we can tell that the length of the diagonal across this field is less than 120 yards.

Becca and Kimberly are running at a constant speed in a marathon. Becca runs at 4.5 miles per hour. Kimberly’s progress is shown

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Part A: Kimberly

Part B:

Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.

Let x = time

y = distance

k = speed = y/x

Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx

Therefore:

✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5

y = 4.5x

✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):

Speed (k) = y/x

k = 10/2

k = 5 miles per hour

Equation for Kimberly would be:

y = 5x

Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.

Part B:

For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x

Thus:

y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles

For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x

Thus:

y = 5*5 = 25 miles

Solve for x: 1/2 (10x+6)=-2x+10

pickupchik [31]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute 1 for x

1/2(10(1)+6) = -2(1)+10

1/2(10+6) = -2+10

5+3 = -2+10
