A fire engine starts pumping water at 9:20 am at the rate of 800 gallons per minute. Another fire engine, pumping at the rate of

1000 gallons per minute, starts at 9:30 am. At what time will the two engines have pumped the same number of gallon

Answer:

At 10:10 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

  • <em>Fire engine 1: 800 m  </em>

Where m: pumping time of the engine

  • <em>Fire engine 2: 1000 (m-10) </em>

Because it starts 10 minute later  

So, putting together both equations:

800m = 1000(m-10)

800m = 1000m - 10000

10000 = 1000m-800m

10000= 200m

10000/200=m

50 =m (50 minutes after the first engine starts)

So, 9:20 am + 50 minutes : 10:10 am .

Answer:

10:10 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to use an identical time variable for both cases, we will do it as follows:

Let t = number of minutes of pumping time of the first fire engine

Therefore, for the second fire truck it would be:

(t-10) = pumping time of the second fire engine, since it started 10 min after the first engine.

To find the value of t, we equalize the equations of the first engine and the second engine:

We know that the first one would be: 800 * t

And the second: 1000 * (t-10)

Thus

1000 * (t-10) = 800 * t

1000 * t - 10000 = 800t

1000 * t - 800 * t = 10000

200 * t = 10000

t = 10000/200

t = 50 minutes

In other words, 50 minutes after the first engine starts pumping, it equaled the second

To know the time they were matched it would be like this:

9:20 AM +: 50 = 10:10 AM

Therefore, at 10:10 AM both engines were matched.

To check the above we have to:

50 * 800 = 40000

40 * 1000 = 40000

Therefore, in that time, they were equalized.

In trapezoid RTUW, V is the midpoint of segment UW, and S is the midpoint of segment RT. Find UT.
andrezito [222]
The line VS is middle line of that trapezoid, so you know that it is

VS= (WR+UT)/2

so we will get that it is: 

<span>40= (x^2+2 +2x^2+3)/2
x = 5

Therefore, 

x^2 + 2 
5^2 + 2

There are 6 red marbles 4 blue marbles to yellow marbles. Sabrina picks 2 marbles without putting the first one back what is the
Yanka [14]

Answer:

P = 3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

There are:

6 red marbles

4 blue marbles

2 yellow marbles.

So there are a total of 12 marbles in the bag, such that each one has the same probability of being randomly picked.

We want to find the probability that the first pick is not yellow (so it can be either blue or red), and the second pick is a blue marble.

Now there are two cases.

The first marble is red and the second blue

the first marble is blue and the second blue

We need to find the probability in each case.

The probability that the first marble is red is equal to the quotient between the number of red marbles (6) and the total number of marbles (12)

p = 6/12

Now, for the second draw, we need a blue marble, the probability in this case is the quotient between the number of blue marbles (4) and the total number of marbles in the bag (now there are 11, because one is already taken)

q = 4/11

The joint probability is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then:

P₁ = p*q = (6/12)*(4/11) = 2/11

And for the other case, we draw two blue marbles:

For the first draw, the probability is:

p = 4/12

And for the second draw, now there are 3 blue marbles and 11 total marbles, then the probability is:

q = 3/11

The joint probability is:

P₂ = (4/12)*(3/11) = 1/11

The total probability is then:

P = P₁ + P₂ = 2/11 + 1/11 = 3/11
