Answer:
It takes 1 minute 12 seconds to fill the bucket if both taps are turned on.
Step-by-step explanation:
- One tap fills the bucket in 2 minutes, thus fills 1/2 of the bucket in one minute.
- Other tap fills the bucket in 3 minutes, thus fills 1/3 of the bucket in one minute.
- Both together fill 1/2+1/3=5/6 of the bucket in one minute.
- If they can fill 5/6 of the bucket in 1 minute, they fill 1/6 of the bucket in 1/5 minute.
- They can fill the bucket (6/6) in 1+1/5 minute
- This is 1 minute 12 seconds
Answer: 7.3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
For us to solve the question, we have to solve 5.2x+8+2.1x-3 and the answer gotten will allow us know the equivalent expression.
= 5.2x+8+2.1x-3
= 5.2x + 2.1x + 8 - 3
= 7.3x + 5
Therefore, the correct answer is 7.3x + 5
