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.

Brian is riding his bike. He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 14 miles per hour. Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt
Mariana [72]

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is:

D = RT

Where

D is distance (in miles)

R is rate (in miles per hour)

T is time (in minutes)

Given,

D = 14 miles

R = 14 miles per hour

We want to find T, so we have:

D=RT\\T=\frac{D}{R}\\T=\frac{14}{14}\\T=1

So the time is 1 hour

We want in minutes, and we know 60 minutes is 1 hour, so the time (in minutes) is 60 minutes

What are the vertex and xintercepts of the graph of the function below?<br> y=(x + 4)(x-2)
erik [133]

Yo sup??

y=(x+4)(x-2)

to find the x intercept put y=0

0=(x+4)(x-2)

so either x=-4 or x=2

Therefore the graph intersects the x axis at -4 and 2

Lenght of x intercept=|-4-2|=6 units

y=(x+4)(x-2)

=x^2+2x-8

This is an upward opening parabola

To find the coordinates of the vertex we can apply the formula

(-b/2a,-D/4a)

b=2

a=1

D=b^2-4ac

=4-4*1*(-8)

=4+32=36

Vertex=(-2/2*1,-36/4*1)

=(-1,-9)

Hope this helps.
