The time taken for the smaller pipe to fill the pool by itself is 15.71 hours

<h3>Rate of work</h3>

  • Time taken for both pipes = 6 hours
  • Time taken for long pipe = x
  • Time taken for small pipe = x + 6

  • Rate of work of both pipes = 1/6
  • Rate of work of long pipe = 1/x
  • Rate of work of small pipe = 1/x + 6

1/6 = 1/x + 1/(x+6)

1/6 = (x+6)+(x) / (x)(x+6)

1/6 = (x+6+x) / x²+6x

1/6 = (2x+6)(x² + 6x)

  • cross product

1(x² + 6x) = 6(2x+6)

x² + 6x = 12x + 36

x² + 6x - 12x - 36 = 0

x² - 6x - 36 = 0

  • Using quadratic formula

x = 9.71 or -3.71

The value of x cannot be negative

Therefore, the

Time taken for long pipe = x

= 9.71 hours

Time taken for small pipe = x + 6

= 9.71 + 6

= 15.71 hours

Which value of y forms the solution of the system defined by y = 11x + 1 and<br> 11x + 12y = 12?
aliya0001 [1]
Y = 11 x + 1
11 x + 12 y = 12
----------------------
11 x + 12 * ( 11 x + 1 ) = 12
11 x + 132 x + 12 = 12
143 x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12
143 x = 0
x = 0
y = 11 * 0 + 1
y = 0 + 1
Answer:
y = 1

Change 239 to a common fraction or mixed number and express it in its simplest form
Evgen [1.6K]
If this is suppose to be 239%....

change to a fraction to look like this 238/100. This number cannot be reduced, so the common fraction is 239/100.

to make it a mixed number, you would simply divide 239 by 100. Your answer would come out to 2 with a remainder of 39. Put the remainder over the divisor and your answer for a mixed number will be 2 and 39/100.<span />
