Answer:

It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
  2. Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
  3. Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
  4. If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
  5. They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
  6. This is 1 minute 12 seconds

How many three-digit phone prefixes that are used to represent a particular geographic area are possible that have no 0 or 1 in
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The number of possible three-digit phone prefixes that are used to represent a particular geographic area is 640.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phone prefixes used to represent a particular geographic area are a 3 digit code consisting of numbers from 0 to 9.

The prefix code are of the form: <u>x</u> <u>x</u> <u>x</u>

Condition: The first or the second place cannot take values 0 or 1.

Then the first place can be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.

Similarly the second place can also be occupied by the remaining 8 digits.

And the third place can be occupied by any of the 10 digits.

So the number of ways to construct a phone prefix for any area is:

Possible\ number\ of\ phone\ prefixes=8\times8\times10=640

Thus, the number of phone prefixes possible for any area is 640.
