Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie's age is: x

Maggie's brother's age is: 2x - 3

The sum of the ages = 36

x + 2x - 3 = 36

3x - 3 = 36

3x = 39

x = 13

Answer: Maggie is 13 years old.

Janet can do a job in 3 hours, and Garry can do the same job in 2 hours. If Janet works for 1 hour before Garry comes to help, h
lidiya [134]

Answer:

48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Janet = 3 hours

Janet's rate = 1/3 job / hour

Time taken by Garry = 2 hours

Garry's rate = 1/2

Rate of working together :

1/3 + 1/2 = (2 + 3) /6 = 5/6 job/hour

If Janet works for one hour before Garry joins ;

1/3 of the job has been done by Janet

1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the job left

Hence to finish the job together, it will take :

Fraction of JOB left ÷ rate of working together

(2/3 ÷ 5/6)

= 2 /3 * 6/5

= 12 / 15

= 4 / 5 hours

To minutes

(4/5) * 60

= 240/5

= 48 minutes

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Building B, it is around 16 35 feet taller than building A ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculating  the height of Building A </u>

Height = opposite ( ? )

∅ = 73°

base/adjacent  = 30 ft

∴ Height = Tan 73° * base

               = 3.2709 * 30 =  98.127 ft

<u>Calculating the height of building B </u>

∅ = 73°

base/adjacent  = 35 ft

∴ height = Tan 73° * base

              = 3.2709 * 35 = 114.4815

Therefore we can say Building B is Taller by approximately 16.35 feet

$34,300 loan at 3.5% for 4 months.
cestrela7 [59]

keeping in mind that 4 months is not even a year, since there are 12 months in a year, 4 months is then 4/12 years.

let's assume is simple interest.


\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$34300\\ r=rate\to 3.5\%\to \frac{3.5}{100}\dotfill &0.035\\ t=years\to \frac{4}{12}\dotfill &\frac{1}{3} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=34300\left[ 1+(0.035)\left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \right]\implies A= 34300(1.011\overline{6})\implies A=34700.1\overline{6}
