Answer:
60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.
takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>
LCM (20, 30) = 60
<u>To find the efficiency </u>
Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose
x = 60/30 =2
x + y = 60 /20 = 3
Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1
so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes
Answer
a. The backpack is $4.50
b. The sweatshirt is $2.70
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)
b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70
70/6 × 18/4
70 * 18/6*4. cross out 18 and 6.
= 70*3/4
= 35 * 2 * 3/ 2*2
= 35*3/2
= 105/2
= 52.5
OR
52 1/2.
Answer:
The answer is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 270 students going on the trip and there would be a teacher for every 45 students you would have to divide.
You would divide 270 ÷ 45 = 6.
