The <em>correct answer</em> is:

0.4 of the job.

Explanation:

Since Katherine can complete the job (100%, or 1) in 10 hours, she can complete 1/10 of it in 1 hour.

Both women together can complete the job in 2 hours. This means Katherine's rate multiplied by 2 hours, 0.1(2), added to Marina's rate multiplied by 2 hours, r*2, equal the entire job (100%, or 1 whole):

0.1(2)+r(2) = 1

0.2+2r = 1

Subtract 0.2 from each side:

0.2+2r-0.2 = 1-0.2

2r = 0.8

Divide each side by 2:

2r/2 = 0.8/2

r = 0.4

Marina's rate is 0.4 of the job per hour.

So, Katherine can do 0.1 of the job per hour. (if she needs 10 hours for the job, each hour she can do the whole divided by the time, so 1/10, which is 0.1)

if in two hours she and Marina can be done, then Marina will do 1(the whole job)-2/10 (twice as much as she can do in an hour)=0.8 of the job. So if Marina does 0.8 of the job in two hours, each hour she will do half of it: 0.4 - and this is the correct answer

using data from 2010 and projected to 2020, the population of the United Kingdom (y, in millions) can be approximated by the equ
natita [175]

Answer:

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population:

The population, in x years after 2000, is given by the follwing equation:

y - 4.55x = 581

That is:

y(x) = 4.55x + 581

What is projected population in 2026?

2026 - 2000 = 26, so this is y(26).

y(26) = 4.55(26) + 581 = 699.3

The projected population in 2026 is of 699.3 million.

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate f(a + 1). <br> A. 3a + 1 <br> B. a + 2<br> C. 3a + 4
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluation of f(a + 1) gives:  

C. 3a + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

f(x) = 3x + 1

We have to find f(a+1).

For this purpose, we will take x = a+1 and

substitute it in the function f(x) = 3x+1:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(a+1) = 3(a+1) +1

f(a+1) = 3(a) + 3(1) +1

f(a+1) = 3a+3+1

f(a+1) = 3a + 4

So the function f(a+1) is equal to option C. 3a + 4.
