It takes Jay, Elle and Kay to work individually for 70 minutes, 105 minutes and 52.5 minutes respectively

<h3>What is Rate and Ratio ?</h3>

A ratio can sometimes be regarded as fraction. While rate has something to do with time.

Given that Jay and Kay can pack the shelves in one aisle of the supermarket in 30 minutes. Kay and Elle take 35 minutes to do the same job. When Jay and Elle work together, the job takes 42 minutes.

Let

J = Jay

K = Kay

E = Elle

The interpretation of the question go thus;

1/J + 1/K = 1/30 ........ (1)

1/K + 1/E = 1/35 .........(2)

1/J + 1/E = 1/42 .........(3)

Make 1/J and 1/E the subject of formula in equation 1 and 2 respectively and substitute them in equation 3

1/J = 1/30 - 1/K ........ (4)

1/E = 1/35 - 1/K .........(5)

1/30 - 1/K + 1/35 - 1/K = 1/42

Collect the like terms

- 1/K - 1/K = 1/42 - 1/30 - 1/35

-2/K = (35 - 49 - 42)/1470

-2/K = -56/1470

1/K = 28/1470

Reciprocate both sides

K = 1470/28

K = 52.5 minutes.

Substitute K in both equation 4 and 5

1/J = 1/30 - 28/1470

1/J = (49 - 28)/1470

1/J = 21/1470

Reciprocate both sides

J = 1470/21

J = 70 minutes

1/E = 1/35 - 28/1470

1/E = (42 - 28)/1470

1/E = 14/1470

Reciprocate both sides

E = 1470/14

E = 105 minutes

Therefore, it takes Jay, Elle and Kay to work individually for 70 minutes, 105 minutes and 52.5 minutes respectively

Answer:

(1) We have been given a function: $y=\sqrt{9x}+45-2$

We can rewrite it using translation is:

It is the graph of $y=\sqrt{9x}$ translated 45 units left and 2 units down.

(2) Now, $y=\sqrt{x}-5-2$

So this is the graph of $y=\sqrt{x}$ translated 5 units right and 2 units down.

(3) $y=\sqrt{x}+5-2$

So, this is the graph of $y=\sqrt{x}$ translated 5 units left and 2 units down.

(4) $y=\sqrt[3]{x}+5-2$

It is the graph of $y=\sqrt[3]{x}$

translated 5 units left and 2 units down.

(5) $y=\sqrt[3]{x}+5-2$

It is the graph of $y=\sqrt[3]{x}$

translated 5 units left and 2 units down.

a major arranges his soliders in rows to form a perfect square 40 soliders are left out if the total no. of soliders are 6281, f

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

79 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40 soldiers were not included in the square, the square consists of 6241 soldiers. 6241 represents the area of the square, and the rows (r) represents a side of the square. Since the area of a square = the length of the side squared, then $6241 = r^{2}$ .
