The city just assigned a second garbage truck to empty the bins in Kat’s neighborhood on trash day. The crew from the first garb

age truck used to empty all the bins by themselves in 5 hours. In their training, it took the crew from the second garbage truck 8 hours to empty all the bins. When the two crews start working together, what part of all the garbage bins will the first garbage truck empty? To the nearest tenth, the first garbage truck will empty about of all the bins.

Let n =  total number of bins.

1st truck:
Working rate = (n bins)/(5 hr) = n/5 bins/hr
2nd truck:
Working rate = (n bins)/(8 hr) = n/8 bins/hr

Let x hours be required when both trucks work together. Then
(n/5 + n/8)*x =n
(1/5 + 1/8)x = 1
(13/40)x = 1
x = 40/13 hours.

Amount emptied by 1st truck when working together is
(n/5 bins/hr)*(40/13 hr) = (40/65)n = 61.5% of n

Answer: 61.5% (nearst tenth)

Poorly phrased question, but the general answer is 5k/(12k), where k <span>∈ Z (i.e. k is an integer).

So, 5/12 and 10/24.</span>

Please help if you know it
julia-pushkina [17]
To find the slope, graph the points they give on the question. Then make a right triangle connecting the points. To find the slope divide the rise/run. The rise is how many down from the top point to the second and the run is how many across. Divide those 2 numbers you find. To tell if it is negative or positive, look at the line. If it goes from left to right, it is negative. But if it goes right to left than it is positive. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions let me know! I am going over this in class now and have gotten the hang of it.

Find the slope of the line through the points (-2,5) and (-6,-3)
Westkost [7]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-5}{-6+2} = \frac{-8}{-4} = 2

A given data set has a symmetrical shape.
never [62]

Answer:

The mean is equal to the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is the middle value of a given data set. In a symmetric distribution, the data on the left side of the median is equal to the data on the right side of the median. Therefore, the mean of that data is equal to the median of the symmetric distribution.
