Answer:

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by large pumpkin to empty the pool=40 hours

Time taken by the smaller pumpkins to empty the pool=70 hours

Amount of pool emptied by large pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{40}

Amount of pool emptied by small pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{70}

Amount of pool emptied in one hour if both pumpkins work together=

\frac{1}{40}+ \frac{1}{70}

=\frac{11}{280}

Therefore, the no. of days will be the reciprocal of the amount of work done in one hour ie . \frac{280}{11}

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.

Find the midpoint P(16,7) and Q(12, -3) With work.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(14, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula

[0.5(x₁ + x₂), 0.5(y₁ + y₂) ]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (16, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, - 3)

midpoint = [0.5(16 + 12), 0.5(7 - 3) ] = [0.5(28), 0.5(4) ] = (14, 2 )
