Together it would take 3 hours.
Team A can wrap all gifts in 7 hours; thus they can wrap 1/7 of the gifts in 1 hour.

Team B can wrap all gifts in 5 hours; thus they can wrap 1/5 of the gifts in 1 hour.

1/7h + 1/5h = 1, where h is the number of hours; it equals 1 because it is 100% of the gifts;

Find a common denominator.  35 is the first thing 7 and 5 will both divide into.  Convert the fractions:
5/35h + 7/35h = 1
12/35h = 1

Divide both sides by 12/35:
12/35h ÷ 12/35 = 1 ÷ 12/35
h = 1/1 ÷ 12/35
h = 1/1 × 35/12
h = 35/12
h = 2.9
h ≈ 3

In triangle DEF. DF = 16 and m<F = 45Find the length of a leg. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
kotegsom [21]
I'm ASSUMING this is a 45-45-90 right triangle and that DF is the hypotenuse.
With that said. Angle F = 45 means that angle  = 45 and angle E = 90 degrees.
There is only one rule for 45-45-90 right triangles:
 hypotenuse = √(2) * leg
Given the hyp = 16
16 = √(2) * leg
divide both sides by √(2)
16/√(2) = leg
Rationalize the denominator
16√(2)/(√(2)*√(2) =
(16√(2)) / 2 =
8√2

What is the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius 20.. i cant find the answer and i even tried?
KIM [24]
General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) is given by:

(x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2}

Now, the origin is the centre and radius is 20, so substituting these points in yields:
x^{2} + y^{2} = 20^{2}
x^{2} + y^{2} = 400

What is the probability that it is not blue?
ladessa [460]

This is actually easy, because you just have to add up the 25 +15 and that would get you 40. Then you would have to add 20 to the 40 and that would be 60, so that would make 40/60 chance that she wouldn't get blue.

And if you need it in a percentage, then you can just convert this into a percentage which would be, 66.666666666667%, also known as 66.67%
