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.

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric and she is making dresses for z doll write the expression for the length of fabric used for each
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3>The expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is \frac{16}{z}\ yards</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric

she is making dresses for z doll

Therefore,

Total length of fabric = 16 yards

Number of dresses = z dolls

Therefore,

\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{ \text{ Total length of fabric }} {\text{ z dolls }}\\\\\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{16}{z}\ yards

Thus, the expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is \frac{16}{z}\ yards

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 130, find the length of the recta
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Let L be the length of the rectangle and w be the width of the rectangle.

"The lenght of a rectangle is one less than twice the width" means L=2W-1

Using perimeter formula of a rectangle which is P=2(L+W) you have:

P=2(L+W)

130=2(2W-1+W)

Solve equation above to find W

130=2(3W-1)

130=6W-2

130+2=6W

132=6W

W=22

From here you find L=2W-1=2x22-1=43

Only thing left is to find area A=LxW

The length of a rectangle is 4x + 5 and the width is 8x - 4. what is the perimtleter?
Luda [366]
Hi there!

Since the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is length×2 + width × 2, we can follow this rule.

2 (4x + 5) + 2 (8x - 4)
= 8x + 10 + 16x - 8
= 24x + 2

So, the perimeter is 24x + 2.

Hope this helps!
