Answer:

The absolute value of -1.9 is 1.9

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| = x if x is positive, and |x| = −x if x is negative (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0. like |3| or |−3| is equal to 3

Joe can cut and split a cord of firewood in 3 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 2 hours. How

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take 3 hours to finish the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the time taken by Dwight to split a cord of firewood = K hrs

So, the per hour rate of Dwight = $(\frac{1}{K})$

As, Joe uses 3 LESS hours then Dwight.

So, the time taken by Joe to split a cord of firewood = (K- 3) hrs

So, the per hour rate of Joe = $(\frac{1}{K-3})$

Now, when both of them wok together, it takes them 2 hours.

So, the per hour rate of BOTH of them = $(\frac{1}{2})$

⇒ Per hour rate of ( Dwight + Joe) = $(\frac{1}{2} )$

$\implies (\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})$

Now, solving for the value of K , we get:

$(\frac{1}{K}) + (\frac{1}{K-3}) = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies \frac{(K-3) + K}{K (K-3)} = (\frac{1}{2})\\\implies 2(2K -3) = K^2 - 3K\\\implies k^2 - 3K -4K +6 = 0\\\implies K^2 - 7K + 6= 0\\\implies K^2 - 6K - K + 6= 0\\\implies K(K-6) -1(K - 6)= 0\\\implies (K-6)(K-1) = 0$

Implies either K = 6 Or K = 1

But if K = 1, (K-3) = 1- 3 = -2 hours would be A CONTRADICTION.

⇒ K = 6 hours

Hence, Dwight will take 6 hours to finish the job alone and Joe will take (k-3) = (6-3) = 3 hours to finish the job alone.

your friend claims that two isosceles triangles ABC and DEF are congruent if two corresponding sides are congruent. he explains

Svetach [21]

Think about the fact that you can have two types of isosceles triangle: one of them that is a right triangle (isosceles right triangle) such as a 45-45-90 triangle and the other type can be just a regular triangle that has two sides that are congruent but it isn't a right triangle.

Thus, you would need more info about the triangles in order to conclude that the two isosceles triangles are congruent to each other.

Wholesale price of coffeemaker = $31.55<br>Percentage markup = 17%<br>Retail price?

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$36.9135

Step-by-step explanation:

Markup = 17% of 31.55

= 17/100 × 31.55

= 5.3635

Retail price = whole sale price + markup

= 31.55 + 5.3635

= $36.9135
