Answer: approximately 26.66667  minutes

This converts to 26 minutes, 40 seconds

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

Explanation:

Let's say there are 360 newspapers that need to be delivered.

The two brothers can get the job done in 40 minutes if they work together. Their rate is 360/40 = 9 newspapers per minute.

Richie can do the full job alone in 90 minutes. So his rate would be 360/90 = 4 newspapers per minute. In 30 minutes, he delivers 30*4 = 120 newspapers. This leaves 360 - 120 = 240 left over.

Divide this over the rate of 9 papers per minute to get 240/9 = 26.66667 approximately. It takes about 26.66667 minutes to finish up delivering the 240 remaining newspapers if the brothers work together.

The portion 0.66667 multiplies with 60 to get 0.66667*60 = 40.0002 which rounds to 40 (we have rounding error going on). This means

26.66667 minutes = 26 minutes, 40 seconds

HELP PLEASE
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The right answer is: 14,256 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's identify the dimensions of the tank and convert them to inches

Knowing that  1 Feet = 12 inches

So, the dimensions of the tank, expresed in inches will be:

Height (H): 2 ft. x 12 = 24 inches

Width (W): 1.50 ft. x 12 = 18 inches

Lenght (L): 3 ft. x 12 = 36 inches

Before calculating the volume of water inside the thank, We must consider that <em>there are two inches of empty space at the top.</em>

So , We must substract 2 inches to the height to calculate the volume.

Then, the height used for calculating the volume will be:

H'= 24 inches - 2 inches = 22 inches

Then,

Volume (V)= W x L x H'

V= (18 inches) x (36 inches) x (22 inches)

V= 14,256 cubic inches

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 12 feet a
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student needs to check all algebraic and mathmatical calculations for errors and typos.  I'm old and have been prone to making mistakes.

Cylinder A DIAMETER 12 ft and Height 13 ft

Cylinder B DIAMETER 10 ft and Height 16 ft

After pumping How much water remains in cylinder A

Volume of a cylinder  =  π(radius)²h is the normal form since they provided the diameter I will use     Volume of a cylinder  =  π(diameter/2)²h

Water remaining in A = Volume of A  - Volume of B   =  

VolA  - VolB  =  π(D for A/2)²H of A  -   π(D for B/2)²H of B

             writing if a little more condensed

VolA  - VolB  =  π(D for A/2)²H of A  -   π(D for B/2)²H of B

    Va - Vb    =   π(Da/2)²Ha  -   π(Db/2)²Hb

                     =  π [(Da²/2²)Ha - (Db²/2²)Hb]      factored out the π

                     =  π/4 [ Da²Ha  - Db²Hb]              factored out the (1/2)²

             I can't think of any other algebraic steps

Va - Vb = Water Remaining in Container A  =  π/4 [ Da²Ha  - Db²Hb]            

            =  π/4 [ (12²)(13)  - (10²)(16)]

            =  π/4 [ (144)(13)  - (100)(16)]

            =  π/4 [ 1872 - 1600 ]

            =  π/4 [272]

            =  π [ 272/4 ]  

            =  π [ 136 / 2]

            =  π [ 68 ]

            =  π (68)

            =  213.6  ft³             rounded to the nearest tenth

I checking my answer by using  V = πr²h         r = d/2

           Va - Vb = π [ra²ha - rb²hb]

                         = π [6²(13)  - 5²(16)]

                         = π [(36)(13) - (25)(16)]

                         = π [ 468 - 400]

                         = 68 π

                         = 213.6 ft³         I got the same answer

       

            =  π

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Mass=1068gr

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume= 7.5 cm x 2.53 cm x 7.15 cm=135.7cm^3

Density=7.87gr/cm^3

Mass=Density*Volume=135.7*7.87=1068gr
