What is a linear equation in math?

A linear equation only has one or two variables.
No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

Suppose, time taken by faster maid be x , hours.

So, time taken by slower maid ,

$x_{2} = 4x_{1}$ ( 4 time faster maid )

Now, time taken by both of the made together is given by ,

$( \frac{x_{1}x_{2} }{x_{1} + x_{2} } )$

$\frac{x_{1}(4x_{1} ) }{x_{1} + 4x_{1} } = 4 hours$

$\frac{4x_{1} }{5} = 4 hours$

$x_{1} = 5 hours$ which is the time required by faster maid.

Compute using significant digits. What is the area of a parallelogram with length 17.25 mm and width 5.065 mm?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Option 'a' is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of parallelogram =17.25 mm

Width of parallelogram =5.065 mm

As we know the formula for " Area of parallelogram"

Area of parallelogram is given by

$Area= length \times breadth\\\\17.25\times 5.065=87.03 \ mm^2$

Hence, option 'a' is correct .

At the farm, Justin picks 3 bushels of fruits. The bushels weigh 8 1/4 pounds, 6 1/2 pounds, and 6 5/8 pounds. What is the avera

blondinia [14]

ANSWER

$Average \: Weight = 7 \frac{1}{8} \: bushels$

EXPLANATION

To find the average weight per bushel, we add all the three weight and divide by 3.

$Average \: Weight = \frac{8 \frac{1}{4} + 6 \frac{1}{2} + 6 \frac{5}{8} }{3}$

We convert all the mixed numbers to improper fraction to obtain,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{33}{4} + \frac{13}{2} + \frac{53}{8} }{3}$

The least common denominator for the fractions in the numerator is 8.

This implies that,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{66 + 52 + 53}{8} }{3}$

This simplifies to

$Average \: Weight = \frac{ \frac{171}{8} }{3}$

This gives us,

$Average \: Weight = \frac{171}{24}$

$Average \: Weight = \frac{57}{8}$

$Average \: Weight = 7 \frac{1}{8}$
