John can complete a paper route in 20 minutes.

John's 1 minute work = 1/20 , so rate =1/20 job/minute

Steve can complete the same route in 30 minutes

Steve's 1 minute work =1/30, so rate =1/30 job/minute

Together DATA:

Time = y min/job ; Rate = 1/y job/min

rate + rate = together rate

1/20 + 1/30 = 1/y

(30+20)/600 = 1/y

50/600

5/60 = 1/y

y = 60/5 = 12 minutes (time for this to do the job together)

Three out of seven students in the cafeteria line are chosen to answer survey questions. How many different combinations of thre
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

35 possible combinations would be there.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have total of seven students we have to choose three out of those seven

^{n}C_r=\frac{n!}{r!\cdot (n-r)!}

n is the total possibilities n =7 in the given case

And r is the chosen ones

Hence, r=3 in the given case.

Substituting the values of n and r in the formula we get

^{7}C_3

\frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}

\frac{7!}{3!\cdot 4!}

Using n!=n(n-1)----1

\frac{7\cdot 6\cdot 5\cdot 4!}{3\cdot 2\cdot 1\cdot 4!}

Cancel the  common factor we get

35  possible combinations would be there.

Can anyone help? <br><br> If arcLM = 8x-56 and arcNP = 5x+22, find arcLP.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

arcLP = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

arcLM = 8x-56

arcNP = 5x+22

Required

arcLP

Given that arcLM = arcNP

8x-56 = 5x+22

8x - 5x  = 22 + 56

3x = 78

x = 78/3

x = 26

Let assume arcLP = x - 7

arcLP = 26 -7

arcLP = 19

The cost of 3 notebooks and 2 pens is $10.45. The cost of 4 notebooks and 6 pens is $17.60.
loris [4]

Answer:

Notebooks cost $2.75 and pens cost $1.10.

He can also buy 3 notebooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create two equations given each of the situations.

3n + 2p = 10.45

4n + 6p = 17.60

Now to solve for n, multiply the top equation by -3 and add together.

-9n - 6p = -31.35

4n + 6p = 17.60

----------------------

-5n = -13.75

n = 2.75

Now that we have the value of notebooks, we can find the amount for pens using either equation.

3n + 2p = 10.45

3(2.75) + 2p = 10.45

8.25 + 2p = 10.45

2p = 2.20

p = 1.10

Finally, to find the number of notebooks that he can purchase, find the cost of a notebook with 3 pens.

n + 3p

2.75 + 3(1.10)

2.75 + 3.30

6.05

Now divide 22 by that number

22/6.05 = 3.63

Since we can't have fractional notebooks, we round down to 3.
