To solve this problem, let us say that the action of totally painting a small house is called “1 job”. Therefore the rates of each person in painting the small house are:

Bill = 1 job / 3 days = 1 / 3

Sharon = 1 job / 4 days = 1 / 4

Wilber = 1 job / 5 days = 1 / 5

 

Therefore the total rate is calculated by simply adding the rates of the three.

(1 /  3) + (1 / 4) + (1 / 5) = 1 / x

where x is the number of hours it take if all them paint together

 

Calculating for by multiplying both sides by 60:

60 [(1 /  3) + (1 / 4) + (1 / 5) = 1 / x]

(60/3) + (60/4) + (60/5) = 60 / x

20 + 15 + 12 = 60 / x

47 = 60 / x

x = 60 / 47 hours

 

 

Answer:

60/47 hours

A diagonal of a rectangle is 8cm and forms an angle measuring 30 with one side. Find the area of the rectangle. ​
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Arectangle=27.68cm (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>in order to find the area of the rectangle first you need to find the measure of the length and width.</em>

since both of them aren't given ,use trigonometry to find the value of the length and width.

sin30°=opposite/hypotenuse

sin30°=opposite/8cm

opposite=sin30°*8cm. >sin30°=0.5

opposite=4cm

cos30°=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos30°=adjacent/8cm

adjacent=cos30°*8cm. cos30°=0.866

adjacent=6.92cm (approximate value)

Arectangle= bh

Arectangle=4cm*6.92cn

Arectangle=27.68cm

Please help....
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Starting average customer rating was 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation representing the average customer rating at Austin's bakery over time is,

y = 0.25x + 5

Here, 'x' represents the time or duration.

Starting average customer rating means value of y at x = 0.

Therefore, y = 0.25(0) + 5

y = 5

Starting average customer rating was 5.

Pls help I’m really confused I’ll give you 35 pints

Answer:

The total payment is thus $35.75 plus $7.11, or $42.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the sales tax doesn't affect the tip.  The sales tax is 5% of the cost and the tip is 15% of the before tax cost.  We calculate the tax and the tip separately, then add them together and finally add this sum to the cost.

Sales tax:  5% of $35.75:  $1.75

Tip:  15% of $35.75:  $5.36

Adding these two quantities results in $7.11.

The total payment is thus $35.75 plus $7.11, or $42.86
