Answer:

70 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called inverse proportion.

1hr : 14in

x hr : 12in

Ask yourself, what do you do to 14 to get 12? To find this out, we do:

14 / 12 = 1.16666667

Since the blade is smaller, it will take longer. So, we times 1hr by 1.16666667 to get

1.16666667 hrs =

1.17 hours (rounded)

This is 70.2 mins, or 1hr 10 mins

Hope this helps!

If the time taken by 14 inches wide is one hour then the blade of 12 inches wide will take 1 hour 17 minutes to mow a lawn.

What is width?

The width of something is the measurement of one side of a body. It is generally less than length of that body or shape.

How to calculate time?

We have been given time of 1 hour if blade is 14 inches wide and we have to calculate time taken by 12 inches wide blade:

It will be as 14/12* 1 hour

=14/12

=1.167

=1.17 hour

Hence the time taken by the blade of 12 inches wide will be 1 hour and 17 minutes.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The points will be on the same line if they have the same slope. Calculate the slope of each pair. If the slopes are the same, then they lie on the same line.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{3-2}{1-4} = \frac{1}{-3} = -\frac{1}{3}$

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4-2}{-2-4} = \frac{2}{-6} = -\frac{1}{3}$

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4-3}{-2-1} = \frac{1}{-3} = -\frac{1}{3}$

The slope is the same.

Find the product (x-y)(6x+4y)

Mazyrski [523]

The product means you multiply, so:
-y × 6x = -6xy
-y × 4y = -4y²

x × 6x = 6x²
x × 4y = 4xy

= -2xy - 4y² + 6x

I hope this helps!

The sum of two and three times the difference of a number and five is equal to four times the difference a number and one.

Andru [333]

Answer:

$x=-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We translate the phrase into an equation:

$2+3(x-5)=4(x-1)\\$

Then we simplify:

$2+3(x-5)=4(x-1)\\2+3x-15=4x-4\\-13+3x=4x-4\\-9=x$
