It will take them 20 minutes to do the job working together.

<h3><u>Working time calculation</u></h3>

Given that Pete can do a job in 50 minutes while his brother Jim can do it in 1/2 the time, to determine how long it will take them to do the job working together, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 1/1 + 2/1 = 3/1
  • 1 / (3/1) = 1/3
  • 60 min / 3 = 20 min

Therefore, it will take them 20 minutes to do the job working together.

a boat traveled 160 miles downstream and back. the trip downstream took 8 hours. the trip back took 40 hours. find the speed of
Nana76 [90]

Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour

Let speed of the current = y miles per hour


When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)


now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time

we get equation:

(x+y)=160/8

or x+y=20...(i)


When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)

now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time

we get equation:

(x-y)=160/40

or x-y=4

or x=4+y...(ii)


plug value of x into (i)

4+y+y=20

4+2y=20

2y=16

y=8


plug value of y into (ii)

x=4+8=12


Hence final answer is given by:

Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour

Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour

Explain how to modify the graphs of f(x) and g(x) to graph the solution set to the following system of inequalities. How can the
Norma-Jean [14]

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are transformed function from the function y = x^2

The set of inequalities do not have a solution

<h3>How to modify the graphs</h3>

From the graph, we have:

f(x) = x^2 -3 and g(x) = -x^2 +2

To derive y < x^2 - 3, we simply change the equality sign in the function f(x) to less than.

To derive y > x^2 + 2, we perform the following transformation on the function g(x)

  • Shift the function g(x) down by 2 units
  • Reflect across the x-axis
  • Shift the function g(x) down by 3 units
  • Change the equality sign in the function g(x) to greater than

<h3>How to identify the solution set</h3>

The inequalities of the graphs become

y < x^2 - 3 and y > x^2 + 2

From the graph of the above inequalities (see attachment), we can see that the curves of the inequalities do not intersect.

Hence, the set of inequalities do not have a solution

10x +1 12x-5 solve for x
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 1 = 12x - 5

Subtract 1 from each side

10x = 12x - 6

Subtract 12x from each side

-2x = -6

Divided by -2

x = 3

A) 20 milligrams of the drug lincomycin is to be given for each kilogram of a person's weight the drug is be mixed with 250 cc o
krok68 [10]

Answer:

you need to convert pounds to kilograms. 196 pounds is 88.904 kilograms. The directions tell you that 20 milligrams of the drug is to be administered for each kilogram of a person's weight. Now you need to multiply 88.904 by 20. That should give you 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin. You would then mix 250 cc's of saline solution to the 1778.08 milligrams of lincomycin; but I think its just asking you how much lincomycin to administer.

at what rate per minute should the 250 cc solution be adminstered
