<u>Answer: </u>

clerk A and clerk B can simultaneously stock a shelf in \frac{180}{13} minutes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the first clerk be A and the second clerk be B

A can stock a shelf in 20 min

B can stock a shelf in 45 min

Consider the complete work to be W

A’s rate of stocking = \frac{W}{20} per minute

B’s rate of stocking = \frac{W}{45} per minute

When, A and B work simultaneously, rate of work done = \frac{W}{20}+\frac{W}{45}

Total work done simulatenously = \frac{W}{\frac{W}{20}+\frac{w}{45}}

=\frac{20 * 45}{20+45}

Therefore, clerk A and clerk B can simultaneously stock a shelf in \frac{180}{13} minutes

What x-value makes the set of ratios equivalent? Tiles 2 : 3 = 6 : x ,4 : 7 = x : 42 , 2x : 48 = 3 : 12, 12 : 15 = x : 20
Naya [18.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 : 3 = 6 : x ,

Ratio can be written as

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{x}

2*3 = 6, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 3

\frac{2*3}{3*3} = \frac{6}{9}

So value of x=9

4 : 7 = x : 42 ,

\frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{42}

7*6 = 42, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 6

\frac{4*6}{7*6} = \frac{24}{42}

So value of x=24

2x : 48 = 3 : 12,

\frac{2x}{48} = \frac{3}{12}

\frac{3}{12}[/tex] = \frac{2x}{48}12*4 = 48, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 4[tex]\frac{3*4}{12*4} = \frac{12}{48}

2x= 12, so x= 6

12 : 15 = x : 20

\frac{12}{15} = \frac{x}{20}

15 * \frac{4}{3} = 20,

we multiply top  and bottom   by 4/3

 12 * \frac{4}{3} = 16

So value of x=16

I really need help <br> Dz,2 of X is<br> (0-4)<br> (2,-2)<br> (6,2)
kvv77 [185]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As is often the case with multiple-choice problems, you don't actually need to know the detailed working. You just need to know what the answer looks like.

When point X is dilated by a factor of 2 with point Z as the center of dilation, it will move to a location twice as far from Z. You can tell by looking at the graph that X' will be in the first quadrant, above and to the right of the location of X. The only sensible answer choice is ...

  X' = (6, 2)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

X is a distance of X-Z = (4, 0) -(2, -2) = (2, 2) from Z Doubling that will put the image point a distance of 2(2, 2) = (4, 4) from Z. When this is added to Z, we find ...

  X' = Z + (4, 4) = (2+4, -2+4) = (6, 2)

3 - (2x - 5) &lt; -4(x + 2)​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

x < -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - (2x - 5) < -4(x + 2)​

-2x + 8 < -4x - 8

-2x < -4x - 16

2x < -16

x < -8

Best of Luck!
