Thus, the final answers are 1 and -1/8.
Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly. If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players. For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.
The equivalent expression would be S = 4F
The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing. It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.
The equivalent expression would be S = F + 4
That being said: An equivalent ratio to 4:1 would be 8:2 , 12:3, 16:4, ...
Think of the ratio as a fraction. 4:1 = 4/1
4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
Answer:
x=2
y=3
Solution:
First we find common denominators. It is "xy". Then we multiply numerators by common denominator. We get followings:
(4y-3x)/xy=1; (6y+15x)/xy=8
Then
4y-3x=xy;
6y+15=8xy
Multiply first equasion by 5
20y-15x=5xy
Now we add two equasions to get one
20y-15x=5xy
6y+15x=8xy
We get
26y=13xy
Cut "y" and we will find "x"
26=13x
x=2
Put x value into the first equasion(4y-3x=xy) to find out "y"
4y-6=2y
2y=6
y=3
This is a really interesting question! One thing that we can notice right off the bat is that each of the circles has the same amount of area swept out of it - namely, the amount swept out by one of the interior angles of the hexagon. Let’s call that interior angle θ. We know that the amount of area swept out in the circle is proportional to the angle swept out - mathematically
θ/360 = a/A
Where “a” is the area swept out by θ, and A is the area of the whole circle, which, given a radius of r, is πr^2. Substituting this in, we have
θ/360 = a/(πr^2)
Solving for “a”:
a = π(r^2)θ/360
So, we have the formula for the area of one of those sectors; all we need to do now is find θ and multiply our result by 6, since we have 6 circles. We can preempt this but just multiplying both sides of the formula by 6:
6a = 6π(r^2)θ/360
Which simplifies to
6a = π(r^2)θ/60
Now, how do we find θ? Let’s look first at the exterior angles of a hexagon. Imagine if you were taking a walk around a hexagon. At each corner, you turn some angle and keep walking. You make 6 turns in all, and in the end, you find yourself right back at the same place you started; you turned 360 degrees in total. On a regular hexagon, you’d turn by the same angle at each corner, which means that each of the six turns is 360/6 = 60 degrees. Since each interior and exterior angle pair up to make 180 degrees (a straight line), we can simply subtract that exterior angle from 180 to find θ, obtaining an angle of 180 - 60 = 120 degrees.
Finally, we substitute θ into our earlier formula to find that
6a = π(r^2)120/60
Or
6a = 2πr^2
So, the area of all six sectors is 2πr^2, or the area of two circles with radii r.
Well , in 3 hours , the amount of the tank that will be filled with pipe A = 8,000 x 3 = 24,000 L
Pipe could empty that 24,000 L in 3 hours.
So the capacity is around 6 - 8 L . .. . we need additional information to find out for sure
hope this helps
