<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!

Which of the following circles lie completely within the fourth quadrant?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

C. (X-9)^9 + (y+9)^2= 16

D. (X-9)^2 + (y+5)^2= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a circle is

(X-h)^2 + (y-k)^2= r^2

where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius

The 4th quadrant is where x is positive and y is negative

Add r to the y coordinate of the center and if it is still negative, the circle is still completely in the 4th quadrant

A. (X-12)^2 + (y+0)^2= 72

The center is at 12,0 and the radius is sqrt(72) = 6sqrt(2)

This will be positive so it goes into the 1st quadrant

B. (X-2)^2 + (y+7)^2= 64

The center is at 2,-7  and the radius is 8

-7+8=1 so it goes into the 1st quadrant

C. (X-9)^9 + (y+9)^2= 16

The center is at 9,-9  and the radius is 4

-9+4 = -5  so it is completely in the 4th quadrant

D. (X-9)^2 + (y+5)^2= 9

The center is at 9,-5 and the radius is 3

-5+3 = -2 so it is completely in the 4th quadrant

I drove 380 miles using 14 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would I need to drive 418 miles?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

15.4 gallons .

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of gas used  = 380/14 = 27.14 gallons per gallon.

So for each gallon used  you drive 27.14 miles.

So number of gallons used when travelling 418 miles = 418/27.14

= 15.4 gallons .
