For problems such as this, it can be handy to remember that
.. 1/(1/a +1/b) = ab/(a +b)

The time required to do a job is the inverse of the rate at which the job is done. Rates are added when people work together (in math problems, not in real life).

(2:44)*(3:14)/(2:44 +3:14) = 1:28:52.3

___
2:44 = 41/15 hours = 82/30 hours
3:14 = 97/30 hours
Using the formula above, we have a "working together" time of
.. (82/30)*(97/30)/(82/30 +97/30) = 82*97/(30*179) = 3977/2685 . . . hours
.. = 1 hour 28 156/179 minutes
.. = 1 hour 28 minutes 52 52/179 seconds

The graph compares the weights in pounds of 100 dogs and cats that are brought in to a veterinarian's office.
GenaCL600 [577]
In case of dogs the value 10 is the minimum value. So all the values lie above 10. In total there were 100 dogs.
So for dogs, we can say number of dogs above the value of 10 pound are 100.

In case of Cats, 10 lies at the position of median. Median is the central value and 50% values lie above the median value. So number of cats with weight above 10 pound is 50.

Thus, we can conclude that there were 50 more dogs than the cats with weight over 10 pounds. So option C gives the correct answer.

PLS HELL I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AND A THANK YOU
Elis [28]

Answer:

\huge \boxed{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles add up to 90 degrees.

x + 2x + x + 10 = 90

Combine like terms.

4x + 10 = 90

Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x = 80

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 20

sveticcg [70]
<span>The word problem gives a rate of oil consumption at a rate of 25 gallons per 3 hours and 45 minutes. 3 hours and 45 minutes can be displayed as 3.75 hours. so you can say the generator consumes oil at a rate of 25 gallons per 3.75 hours. The following equation give you the oil consumption on a per hour basis; 25/3.75 and that gives you 6.67 gallons per hour. In 6 hours the generator will consume 40 gallons.</span>

The mean of four numbers is 7. Three of the numbers are 2, 5, and 17. What is the fourth number?
Temka [501]

Answer:

If the mean of four numbers is 7, we know that their sum is 7 * 4 = 28. We can use this information to find the last number. If the fourth number is x, we can write:

2 + 5 + 17 + x = 28

24 + x = 28

x = 4
