It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)

In order to remove water from a flooded basement, two pumps, each rated at 40 gallons per minute, are used. After half an hour,

Scrat [10]

Answer:

3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of each pump = 40 gallons/min

We need to find find the number of gallons of water removed from the basement.

Solution:

Now Given:

After half an hour, the one pump burns out.

Now we know that;

1 hour = 60 mins

$\frac12$ hour = $\frac{60}{2}=30\ mins$

Now for 30 mins both the pumps were working and removing the water.

So we can say that;

Water remove for first 30 mins = $40\times2\times30=2400\ gallons$

Also Given:

the second pump finishes removing the water half an hour later.

So we can say that;

Water removed for next 30 mins = $40\times 30\times1 =1200\ gallons$

Now we can say that;

Total water removed from the basement is equal to sum of Water remove for first 30 mins and Water removed for next 30 mins .

framing in equation form we get;

Total water removed from the basement = $2400+1200=3600\ gallons.$

Hence 3600 gallons of water was removed from the basement.

Answer:

8/3 or 2.6666

Which of these limits evaluate to 0?

Vikentia [17]

<h3>Answer: C) I and II only</h3>

===============================================

Work Shown:

Part I

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = \frac{2-2}{2+2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = \frac{0}{4}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2}\frac{x-2}{x+2} = 0\\\\\\$

----------

Part II

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = \frac{\sin(0)}{0+2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = \frac{0}{2}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{\sin(x)}{x+2} = 0\\\\\\$

----------

Part III

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{x}{x} = \lim_{x \to 5}1\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5}\frac{x}{x} = 1\\\\\\$
