A group of college students is volunteering for Help the Homeless during their spring break. They are putting the finishing touc

hes on a house they built. Working alone, Irina can paint a certain room in 9 hours. Paulo can paint the same room in 8 hours. Write an equation that can be used to find how long it will take them working together to paint the room. How many hours will it take them to paint the room? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
A. \frac{x}{9} + \frac{x}{8} = 1; 2.18 hours
B. \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{x}; 3.73 hours
C. \frac{9}{x} + \frac{8}{x} = 1; 8.5 hours
D. \frac{x}{9} + \frac{x}{8} = 1; 4.24 hours

Answer:

D 4.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the area of room be A

Irina painting speed be x, 8x = A

Paulo painting speed be y, 9y = A

Together painting speed = x + y = A/8 + A/9

Assume together painting time = t

(A/8 + A/9) t = A

(1/8 + 1/9)t = 1

17t = 72

t = 4.24

Answer: $249,300

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact formula would be if I think this is right

PV = PMT(1-(1+r)^-n)/r with r & n adjusted for periodicity

= 1400(1-(1+.054/12)^-360)/(.054/12)

= $249,318.47

which you can round off to, say, $249,300 <------

A 20-gallon salt-water solution contains 15% pure salt. How much pure water should be added to it to produce a 10% solution?
Elanso [62]

15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.

If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or

10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal

of salt.

The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:

2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3

0.1<em>x</em> = 1

<em>x</em> = 10 gal

The point (1, −1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of
defon
The abscissa of the ordered pair, that is the x-coordinate, is equal to 1 and the ordinate, the y-coordinate, is equal to -1. In the cartesian plane, this point lies in the fourth (IV) quadrant. The standard position of the angle is that which has one of its side is in the x-axis.

Solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.
           h = sqrt((-1)² + (1)²) = √2
Below items show the calculation for each of the trigonometric functions.

 sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = y/h = (-1)/(√2) = -√2/2
 cos  θ = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/h = (1)/√2 = √2/2
tan θ = opposite/adjacent = y/x = -1/1 = -1
