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

Help :( I suck at math
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

For some side lengths to create a triangle, any two of the side lengths must have an added length together of less than the third leg. Otherwise, the vertices would simply not be able to be connected by the lines. In a), 3+5=8, but since it is not more, the triangle will not be able to be formed (it would basically just be a line.) In B, 7+8< 16. In C, there is the same situation as with the first example (4+15=19). Finally, in the last one, 5+7>12, and all of the side lengths work out. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Hope this helps!

Guyssss I’m confuseddddd
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

0 > -5

Step-by-step explanation:

9w - 4w + 6 > 1 + 5w

add the similar variables

5w + 6  > 1 + 5w

subtract  6 from both sides

5w + 6  > 1 + 5w

       -6     -6

5w > 5w - 5

simplify

5w > 5w -5

subtract 5 w from both sides

5w > 5w -5

-5w    -5w

simplify

= 0 > -5

If c is a positive integer, how does the graph of y=x+c compare to the graph of y=x?
Len [333]

Answer:

It is shifted c units to the left  .

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, adding a constant c to the value of x shifts a graph c units to the left.

The graph of y = x + c is parallel to y = x,  the y-intercept becomes (0, c) and the x-intercept becomes (-c, 0).

In the diagram below, the red line is the graph of y = x, and the blue line is the graph of y = x + 1.
