Answer:

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in 20.465 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a inlet pipe and a hose pipe together can fill the pond in 10 hours.

The inlet pipe alone can fill the pond in one hour less time than the hose pipe can  fill the pond.

Let the hose pipe can complete the job in x hours.

Then the inlet pipe can fill the pond in (x-1) hours.

The rate of filling of hose pipe is =\frac{1}{x}

The rate of filling of inlet pipe is =\frac{1}{x-1}

The rate of filling of both pipes is = \frac 1{10}

According to the problem,

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{10}

\Rightarrow \frac{x-1+x}{x(x-1)}=\frac1{10}                              [ simplifying the fraction]

\Rightarrow \frac{2x-1}{x^2-x}=\frac1{10}                            

\Rightarrow 10(2x-1)= x^2-x                [ Multiplying 10(x²-x) both sides]

\Rightarrow x^2-x= 20x-10

\Rightarrow x^2-x-20x+10=0             [ simplifying ]

\Rightarrow x^2-21x+10=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-21)\pm\sqrt{(-21)^2-4.1.10}}{2.1}       [ applying quadratic formula]

\Rightarrow x=\frac{21\pm21.93}{2.1}

⇒ x= 21.465,  -0.465

x= - 0.465 does not possible, since time can not be negative.

∴x=21.465

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in (21.465-1)=20.465 hours.

Answer:

g=56

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar shapes, corresponding sides are always in the same ratio.

For example,

if the sides in triangle 1 were a and b, and triangle 2 had side lengths c and d, c and a had the same ratios, and b and d had the same ratios

and triangle 1 was similar to triangle 2, the ratio between the sides of the triangles would be

a/c, which is also equal to b/d

What that means is that in this situation, 8/5=g/35.

8/5=g/35

Cross multiply.

(8)*(35)=g*(5)

280=5g

g=56

What survival rate in the 10th year would make the average rate of loss over the 10-year period equal to 38.0%?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 63%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the rate of loss that would cause the average rate of loss over the 10-year period equal to 38.0%.

Assume that rate is x.

38 = (36.2 + 29.0 + 46.2 + 37.5 + 40.9 + 40.0 + 32.6 + 40.5 + 40.1 + x) / 10

38 = (343 + x ) / 10

380 = 343 + x

x = 380 - 343

x = 37%

The survival rate is the opposite of the rate of loss which means that the survival rate is;

= 1 - rate of loss

= 1 - 37%

= 63%

Please help! My max is 17 points that how much they gave me!!
Firdavs [7]
The answer is 29. If you put it in an equation, it looks like 90=(x*3)+3. If you -3 from each side, you get 87=x*3. Divide each side by 3, and you get x=29.
