Suppose there are 12 equal parts of the house to be cleaned. Max can do 1 per hour, and Maggie can do 3 per hour.

The number of units they can do together in x hours is x+3x. Since there are 12 units to do, x+3x=12. For x=3 this is true, so the sister was right!

The sister is correct, because if you divide 12 by 4 your answer is 3 hours.

There are 20 20 coins in a jar. Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter. If one of the coins is selected at random, the probab
sveta [45]

Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

HELP <br><br>Determine whether the relation is a function<br><br> y=2w=2​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Hi there!

I might be able to help you!

It is NOT a function.

<u>Determining whether a relation is a function on a graph is relatively easy by using the vertical line test. If a vertical line crosses the relation on the graph only once in all locations, the relation is a function. However, if a vertical line crosses the relation more than once, the relation is not a function</u>. <u>X = y2 would be a sideways parabola and therefore not a function.</u> Good test for function: Vertical Line test. If a vertical line passes through two points on the graph of a relation, it is <em>not </em>a function. A relation which is not a function. The x-intercept of a function is calculated by substituting the value of f(x) as zero. Similarly, the y-intercept of a function is calculated by substituting the value of x as zero. The slope of a linear function is calculated by rearranging the equation to its general form, f(x) = mx + c; where m is the slope.

A relation that is not a function

As we can see duplication in X-values with different y-values, then this relation is not a function.

A relation that is a function

As every value of X is different and is associated with only one value of y, this relation is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's up there!

God bless you!

A parachutist descends 44 feet in 4 seconds. Express the rate of the parachutist's change in height as a unit rate.
Montano1993 [528]

The unit rate of the parachutist change in height is 11 feet per second.

   • In Mathematics, Unitary method is a technique for solving a question by first finding the value of a single unit and then finding the required value by multiplying the number by value of single unit .

   • We use unitary method to find the ratio of one thing with respect to other thing.

   • There are two types of unitary method one is Direct Variation and the other is Inverse variation.

We have the rate of descend as 44 feet in 4 sec.

So, in 1 second it will be = 44 / 4 = 11 feet.

Which is the unit rate.

Therefore, the unit rate of descend for the parachutist is 11 feet per second.

A typist takes 8 minutes to type 360 words.
Zigmanuir [339]

Well, it cant be option B because then it wuld be half the time (180 mins.)

It cant be option D becasue then it would be over 360 mins, seeing that it only took 8 mins to type 360

And it cant be option C beacuse it would be too small, if 4 mins is to small then 3 mins is worse

Your answer would be A 5 minutes it's just a little bit above 4 mins(half)
