<span>Krystal's rate = 1 floor in 16 min. = 1/16 floors per min.

Working together their rate = 1 floor in 5.76 min. = 1/5.76 floors per min.

We need to determine Perry's rate, so we need to equate their combined rate with the sum of the individual rates.

Let Perry's time = x

In equation form, we can write:
1/16 + 1/x = 1/5.76
Solve for x:

(x+16)/16x = 1/5.76 -> 5.76(x+16) = 16x -> 10.24x = 92.16 -> x = 9

So, Perry would take 9 mins. to do the floor alone.

I hope this helped!

If sin 20 degree=a and cos20 degree=b then which of the following represents the correct value of sin 70 degree in terms of a an

Scorpion4ik [409]

ANSWER

3) b

EXPLANATION

Given that:

$\sin(20 \degree) = a$

and

$\cos(20 \degree) = b$

Recall that the sine and cosine functions are equal for complementary angles.

This implies that,

$\sin(70 \degree) = \cos(20 \degree)$

$\sin(70 \degree) = b$

Find the absolute value of 2 and 2 3rd and negative 9 over 4

gayaneshka [121]

we are given

absolute value of 2 and 2 3rd and negative 9 over 4

Firstly , we need write it in terms of expression

2 and 2 3rd is

$2+\frac{2}{3}$

so, we get as

$|2+\frac{2}{3} -\frac{9}{4} |$

now, we can simplify it

Firstly , we will find common denominator

$|\frac{2*12}{1*12} +\frac{2*4}{3*4} -\frac{9*3}{4*3} |$

$|\frac{24}{12} +\frac{8}{12} -\frac{27}{12} |$

we can see that

all denominators are same

so, we can combine numerators

$=|\frac{24+8-27}{12} |$

$=|\frac{5}{12} |$

$=\frac{5}{12}$ ..............Answer

Is 3 squared times 4 squared equal 12 squared ? Evaluate each side of the equation to explain your answer.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Nopes 3²+4²≠12²

Step-by-step explanation:

12²=144

3²+4²=

9+16=25

25≠144

To make it easier to see exactly WHY 3²+4²≠12² you can spread out the numbers in the equation.

(3·3)+(4·4)≠(12·12)

When solving equations you use PEMDAS (Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction). You have to solve in THAT ORDER.
