Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A produces x boxes in 10 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces x/10 boxes

Machine B produces 2x boxes in 5 minutes

In one minute, the machine produces 2x/5 boxes

Therefore in one minutes, both boxes working together will produce

= 2x/5 + x/10

=5x/10

=x/2 boxes

To produce 3x boxes, the time required

= 3x/(x/2)

= 3 × 2

= 6

It take machines A and B, working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to produce 3x boxes in 6 minutes

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through (12,16) and (1,y). find y​
anastassius [24]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship that crosses through the origin or (0,0). This means the slope of the line can be found by subtracting the points (12,16) and (0,0) in the slope formula.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{16-0}{12-0}= \frac{16}{12}=\frac{4}{3}

So the slope is 4/3 and must be the value between any two points on the line.

This means the function moves from (0,0) to (1, 4/3).

What is one-fourth of four sevenths
AlekseyPX
1/4  x 4/7
do the top numbers first. 1 x 4 is 4do bottom numbers next 4 x 7 is 28

that leaves you with 4/28. But you have to reduce.

4/28 = 2/14 = 1/7 (notice I just cut both the top and bottom numbers in half each time I reduced until I couldn't reduce any more).
So, final answer is 1/7

Convert 11.42424242 to a rational expression in the form of a/b , where b ≠ 0.
TiliK225 [7]
11.424242
isolate the repeating part
11+0.424242

focus on the repeating part
0.42424242
how many places till it repeats again?
2
let's say it is x
x=0.42424242
multiply by 100
100x=42.424242

subtract them
100x-x=42.42424242-0.42424242
the infinite repeats cancel and we get
99x=42
divide by 99
x=\frac{42}{99}



so
11.\overline{42}=11 \space\ \frac{42}{99}
