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

If the area of a circle measures 16 pi cm2, what is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: 8 pi

Step-by-step explanation: So we know that area of a circle is pi times r^2 so if we reverse that formula it would be square root of 16 pi which would be 4 pi and divide by pi so the radius is 4. And we know that the formula for circumference is 2 times pi times r, so 2 times 4 times pi is 8 pi. 8 pi is the cIrcumference! :)
