The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used
Answer:
Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W = hours of use by Lewis family
65 - W = hours of use by Perry family
Then;
15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850
15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850
(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600
-25W = −750
W = 750/25 = 30
Therefore;
W = 30
65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35
Hence,
Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.
Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.
Each person can eat 2 ears of corn because 32/15=2.13333333. So there will be 2 ears of corn left over!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
m has a slope of -2 and a y intercept of 4
y = -2x + 4
n has a slope of 1 and a y intercept of -1
y = 1x - 1
y = x - 1
Ah!... the invisible questions in a sideways posted image.
t has a slope of zero and a y intercept of 3
y = 0x + 3
y = 3
p has infinite slope and no y intercept.
x = -5
