Answer:

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert each time to minutes:

3.2 hours = 192 minutes

80 minutes = 80 minutes

2 hr 20 min = 140 minutes

Next, let's find the least common multiple:

LCM(192, 80, 140) = 6720

So let's say the volume of the tank is 6720 units.  The speed of each pump is therefore:

Pump 1 = 6720 units / 192 minutes = 35 units/minute

Pump 2 = 6720 units / 80 minutes = 84 units/minute

Pump 3 = -6720 units / 140 minutes = -48 units/minute

Their combined speed is:

35 + 84 − 48 = 71 units/minute

So the time to fill the tank is:

6720 units / (71 units/minute) = 94.65 minutes

Rounding to the nearest minute, it would take 95 minutes, or 1 hour and 35 minutes.

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is:

a=2πrh, we are told that r=1.8ft and h=4ft so

a=2π(1.8*4)

a=2π(7.2)

a=14.4π ft^2

a≈45.24 ft^2  (to nearest hundredth of a square foot)

Can I get some help on how to solve this?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise both denominators

x² + 2x = x(x + 2) ← common factor of x

x² - 4 = (x - 2)(x + 2) ← difference of squares

Before subtracting we require common denominators

Multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x - 2)

Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by x

= \frac{5}{x(x-2)(x+2)} - \frac{2x}{x(x-2)(x+2)}

Distribute and simplify the numerator leaving the denominator

= \frac{5x-10-2x}{x(x-2)(x+2)}

= \frac{3x-10}{x(x-2)(x+2)}

What is the prime factorization if 6400 using exponents
katovenus [111]

So prime factorization is as it seems, finding the prime factors for a number. With this number, break it down as such:

\underbrace{6400}_{\underbrace{64}_{\underbrace{8}_{\underbrace{4}_{\boxed{2*2}} \boxed{2}}*\underbrace{8}_{\underbrace{4}_{\boxed{2*2}}\boxed{2}}}*\underbrace{100}_{\underbrace{10}_{\boxed{5*2}}*\underbrace{10}_{\boxed{5*2}}}}

<u>Looking at our factors, the prime factorization of 6400 is 2^8*5^2</u>
