Answer:

2 2/5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 6 hours Brian can lay 1 slab of concrete

dividing both side by 6

in 6/6 hours Brian can lay 1/6 slab of concrete

Thus, in 1 hour  Brian can lay 1/6 slab of concrete

In 4 hours Greg can lay 1 slab of concrete

dividing both side by 4

in 4/4 hours Greg can lay 1/4 slab of concrete

Thus, in 1 hour  Greg can lay 1/4 slab of concrete

Thus, total part of slab laid by both in 1 hour when they work together

1/6 + 1/4 = 4+6/(6*4) = 10/24 = 5/12

5/12 of slab of concrete is laid by both of them in 1 hour

time taken to lay 5/12 of slab = 1 hour

dividing both side by 5/12

time taken to  5/12/ 5/12 of slab = 1/5/12 hour = 12/5 hours

time taken to 1/1 of slab = 12/5 hours = 2 2/5 hours

Thus,

it takes 2 2/5 hours to lay the full slab of concrete when Brian and Greg work together,

The area of a parallelogram is given by

A=bh

Now, if we consider the 9.9 inches side as the base, then the height is the one labeled with 5.5 inches.

If instead we choose the 11 inches side as the base, the height is h.

So, we can express the area in this two equivalent ways:

A = 9.9\cdot 5.5 = 11\cdot h

Solving for h, we have

h = \dfrac{9.9\cdot 5.5}{11} = 4.95

Meanings of inequalities :

< less than
> more than
= equal

convert both fractions to their common denominators , which is 40.

7/2/5 = 7/16/40
7/3/8 = 7/15/40

as you can see, 7/2/5 is bigger. thus the answer is > .

In ΔVWX, w = 520 cm, ∠W=93° and ∠X=68°. Find the length of x, to the nearest centimeter.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

482.7972612 cm. Just round from here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ah, the sine law questions. Ok so you know \frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}. If you don't, voila. Obviously, the variables are different but we can use the same formula. So, we have

\frac{sin(X)}{x}  = \frac{sin(W)}{w}

Plug in:

\frac{sin(68)}{x} = \frac{sin(93)}{520}

The answer when solving for x is the above
