Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the speed would be given by the garbage collection / hour, therefore the two together, that is to say from the sum of both, would be 1/6 the speed and for the small truck it would be 1/24

So to calculate the speed of the big truck it would be:

1/24 + 1 / x = 1/6

1 / x = 1/6 - 1/24

1 / x = 0.125

x = 1 / 0.125

x = 8

Which means that only the big truck would take only 8 hours

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 6 cm and its hypotenuse measures 8 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necess
Vika [28.1K]
Well, this is a Pythagorean theorem problem. A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where C^2 is equal to the hypotenuse. 8 squared equals 64, so c^2 = 64 cm. The other leg can be represented by A^2, which is 36 cm. 36 + ? = 64. 64 - 36 = 28, so B^2 equals 28. Now, to find the measurement of the other leg, we need the square root of 28. The square root of 28 is 5.3 cm.

Your final answer is 5.3 cm.

Build the greatest number less than 700 that has 9 in the tens place and different digits in each of the other places
suter [353]
I think the greatest number less than 700 with 9 in the tens place and different digits in each of the other places is 698.
I chose 6 to be in the one of hundreds place because it is the greatest number that is less than 7 in the hundreds place. I also chose 8 to be in the ones place because it is different from 6 and 9 and the greatest number in the ones place that is not 9.
