Answer:

Janet should receive $1.20

Kay should receive $0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Janet=2 gallons

Kay=1 3/4 gallons=1.75

Total=2+ 1 3/4

=2+7/4

=8+7/4

=15/4 gallons

They agreed to share it equally

15/4÷3

=15/4×1/3

=15/12=1.25

=5/4 each individual gets 5/4

Janet=2-1.25=0.75

Janet gave up 0.75 gallonsof her water

The percentage is

0.75/1.25×100

=0.6×100

=60%

Kay=1.75-1.25=0.50

Kay gave up 0.50 gallons of her water

The percentage is

0.50/1.25×100

=0.4×100

=40%

Janet gets 60% of $2

60/100×$2

=0.6×$2

=$1.2

Kay gets 40% of $2

=40/100×$2

=0.4×$2

=$0.8

Please help me with the below question.
tresset_1 [31]

We have the following three conclusions about the <em>piecewise</em> function evaluated at x = 14.75:

  1. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66.
  2. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10.
  3. \lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t) does not exist as \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne  \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t).

<h3>How to determinate the limit in a piecewise function</h3>

In a <em>piecewise</em> function, the limit for a given value exists when the two <em>lateral</em> limits are the same and, thus, continuity is guaranteed. Otherwise, the limit does not exist.  

According to the definition of <em>lateral</em> limit and by observing carefully the figure, we have the following conclusions:

  1. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66.
  2. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10.
  3. \lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t) does not exist as \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne  \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t).

Please help with my math
shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are similar triangles, so there is a number that you can multiply the sides of TUV to find the side lengths of QRS. looking at the triangle, the similar sides are RS being similar to UV and RQ being similar to UT.

If RS~UV, then there is a ratio between them. 54/36=1.5. The ratio is 1.5.

RQ~UT, and by a factor of 1.5, so divide RQ by the scale factor. 24/1.5=16. UT=16=x+5.

x+5=16, subtract 5 from both sides.

x=11

The sum of the ages of Mr Lin and his son Ethan is 38 years. In three years' time, Mr Lin will be three times as old as his son.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,

   S = his son's present age.

First equation  is

L + S = 38.       (1)

The second equation is  

L + 3 = 3*(S+3)   (2)   ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")

From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You  will get

L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3),   or

L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,

4L = 114 + 9 - 3,  

4L = 120,

L = 30.
