The Tran family and the Green family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkl

er was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1900L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hours for which Tran family's sprinkler used is x hours

water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler = 35L per hour

water output from  Tran family's sprinkler in x hours = 35*x L = 35x

Let the hours for which Green family's sprinkler used is y hours

water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler = 40L per hour

water output from  Green family's sprinkler in x hours = 40*y L = 40y

Given

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours

thus

x + y = 50 -------------------equation 1

y = 50-x

total water output of 1900L

35x+40y = 1900  -------------------equation 1

using  y = 50-x in equation 2, we have

35x + 40(50-x) = 1900

35x + 2000 - 40x = 1900

=> -5x = 1900 - 2000 = -100

=> x = -100/-5 = 20

y = 50-20 = 30

Thus,

Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours

Green's  family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours

Toby exercises 14 hours a week. John exercises 20% more than Toby and Jenny exercises two more hours than John. Which expression
sleet_krkn [62]
John exercised 20% more than Toby. So the number of hours that John exercises per week is 14 + 0.2(14) = 14 + 2.8 = 16.8.

Jenny exercises two more hours than John. So the number of hours that Jenny exercises per week is 16.8 + 2 = 18.8.

So an expression representing the number of hours that Jenny exercises after w weeks is 18.8w.

The cost for x number of students to attend an after school sporting event can be represented bu the functon C(x). If C(124) = 5
lara [203]
Alright! Given that C(x) is Cost(Students) = 558, we can eliminate:

2. 558 students paid to attend the event.
5. The event generated $124 from student revenue.

Now, in order to find the cost per student we simply divide 124 on both sides:

\frac{C(124)}{124} =  \frac{558}{124}

124 cancels on the left and 558/124 is 4.5 or $4.50. 

Since we just determined the cost of one student, we can eliminate 3.

To check if 124 students paid, we simply add the cost to the equation and check:

4.5(124) = 558

558 = 558 √

It checks out, so we determined that both 1 and 4 are correct.

27 weeks minimum.
To get this, I divided 520 and 20. It equals 26, but there are still 5 dollars left. She cannot buy the bracelet without them, so you must add on 1 more week. 
Good luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Speed x Time and you need speed so the equation is

D divided by T = S

Cutwright   35 laps divided by 84 min .... 42mph

Evans   42 laps divided by 96.6 min ... 43 mph

Loza 38 laps divided by 102.6 min ... 37 mph

Evans went slightly faster than Cutwright
