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

-4 1/2x - 3/7= 1/4<br>find x
DiKsa [7]
- 4(1/2)x - (3/7) = (1/4)
- 4(1/2)x = (1/4) + (3/7)
- (9/2)x = (7+12)/28
-(9/2)x = 19/28
x = (19/28) * 2 / 9
x = (19/14) / 9
x = 19 / (14*9)
x = 19 / 126

60% = 0.6 = 3/5
25.5% = 0.255 = 51/200
90% = 0.9 = 9/10
33 1/3 = 0.3333 =
62.5% = 0.625 = 5/8
7.5% = 0.07 = 7/100
