Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of filling from both pipes is the sum of the rates in units of tanks per hour. We want the time for 2/3 of a tank.

<h3>Sum of rates</h3>

The sum of the filling rates is ...

  rate A + rate B = (1/3) tank/hour + (1/2) tank/hour = 5/6 tank/hour

<h3>Fill time</h3>

The time to fill a tank or part thereof will be the number of tanks divided by the rate in tanks per hour:

  time = (2/3 tank)/(5/6 tank/hour) = ((4/6)/(5/6)) hour = 4/5 hour

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the fill time is ...

  (4/5 hour)×(60 min/hour) = 48 min

It will take 48 minutes for both pipes to fill 2/3 of the tank.

Dr. David Smith lived 1/13 of his life as a child. He spent 4/39 of his life preparing for an outstanding
stich3 [128]

Answer:

40 14/25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this certainly is fun.

First, to find the fraction of the doctor's life which 13 years represents, subtract the fractions from 1 (and in this case l stands for lifetime):

13 = (1 - (\frac{1}{13} + \frac{4}{39} + \frac{1}{2}))(l)

13 = (\frac{25}{78})(l)

So, multiply this equation by the reciprocal of 25/78 to isolate one of l:

13(\frac{78}{25}) = l

l = 40\frac{14}{25} years

Can you help me solve for x?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

10x-10 = 60 +4x+2

Combine like terms

10x-10 = 62+4x

Subtract 4x from each side

10x-4x -10 = 62 +4x-4x

6x -10 = 62

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 62+10

6x= 72

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12
