To collect data on the signal strengths in a neighborhood, Tracy must drive from house to house and take readings. She has a gra

Working together, they can complete the task in 4 hours and 48 minutes.

<h3>What is the concept of time and work?</h3>

A certain amount of time (T) is taken to complete a certain work (W). The number of units of work done per unit time is called the rate of work (R). Hence, Work (W) = Rate (R) Time (T) Whenever some work is done, the total work itself can be taken as one unit.

Tracy needs 8 hours to complete the task.

Then we can find the ratio of work over time as:

1 task/8 hours = 1/8 task per hour.

This means that she can complete 1/8 of the task per hour.

Dave needs 12 hours to complete the task, then his ratio is:

1 task/12 hours = 1/12 task per hour.

This means that he can complete 1/12 of the task in one hour.

If they work together, then the ratios can be added:

R = \frac{1}{8} +  \frac{1}{12}

  = \frac{3+2}{24}

  = \frac{5}{24}

So, working together, in one hour they can complete  \frac{5}{24} of the task, now we can find the number of hours needed to complete the task as:

\frac{5}{24}×x= 1 task

x = \frac{24}{5} hours = 4.8 hours

knowing that an hour is 60 minutes, then 0.8 of an hour is 60*0.8 = 48 minutes.

Then x = 4 hours and 48 minutes.

Find the y-intercept of each exponential function and order the functions from least to greatest y-intercept.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Keep the exact order that is shown

Step-by-step explanation:

The first exponential already has a point at (1, -2) which means the y-intercept would be less than -2, which is the lowest among the three


The second has a y-int at -2

Third has y-int at 2

The volume of a spherical tank is 790.272 pie cubic feet what is the diameter of the container
pochemuha

Answer:

The diameter is 13.88 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The formula for calculate the volume of a sphere is:

V=\frac{3}{4}(r^{3}\pi)

Where r is the radius.

2. The diameter is:

D=2r

3. So, you must solve for the radius in the first equation:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4V}{3\pi}} 

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4(790.272ft^{3} )}{3\pi}}\\r=6.94ft

4. Then, the diameter is:

D=2(6.94ft)\\D=13.88ft

A jet moving at constant speed traveled 6,600 km in 3 hours. What was the speed of the jet?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The speed of the jet is 2,200\frac{km}{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed traveled by the jet can be found using the relationship between distance and time. Because the problem gives the values for distance and time, they must be replaced in the equation and in this way the requested speed will be found.

1. Write the general equation for the speed:

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

2. Replace the values of distance and time on the general equation for the speed and make the mathematical operations:

Speed=\frac{6,600km}{3hours}

Speed=2,200\frac{km}{h}

Therefore the speed of the jet is 2,200\frac{km}{h}
