<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour 
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour 
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72 

So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool) 

</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
 </span>
<span>Now solve for x 
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>

Circle O is shown. 2 tangents intersect at a point outside of the circle which is labeled Satellite. The angle formed is 20 degr
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see is 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two tangents intersect at a point outside the with circle center O

The angle formed between between the two tangent = 20°

The first arc formed is measured as x°, which is the arc opposite the point where the two tangents meet = The arc the satellite can see

The angle x is given by the relationship;

x = 2 × (90 - v/2)

Where;

v = The angle formed at the point where the two tangent meet = 20°

Therefore;

x = 2 × (90 - 20/2) =  2 × (90 - 10) =  2 × 80  = 160°

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see = 160°.

(4,7) y=3x+6 write an equation passing through the point and parallel to the given line
Elis [28]

So, we will be using point-slope form to construct this equation.


Point-slope form's general formula is as follows:

Y-Y_1=m(X-X_1)

M is the slope,

Y₁ is the Y-coordinate of the point

X₁ is the X- coordinate of the point.


So, our slope is 3 (since the equation is given in slope-intercept form)

Our Y₁ is 7 and out X₁ is 4


So, now we just plug our numbers into the equation.

Y-7 = 3(X-4)


There's your equation.


Hope this helps!

Shona is buying a rug for her room. Store A has the rug for $45 with a 10% discount. Store B has the same rug for $46 and is off
Rudik [331]
Store A :
0.90(45) = 40.50......40.50 + .06(40.50) = 40.50 + 2.43 = 42.93

store B :
46 - 10 = 36......36 * .06(36) = 36 + 2.16 = 38.16

she would have to purchase the rug from store B...because she doesn't have enough money to purchase it from store A. She would have (40 - 38.16) = $ 1.84 in change.

I find this question to be a little misleading....because on a rebate, u dont get the discount right away....u first pay full price, and then later u get the discount mailed back to you. So actually, she wouldn't have enough money at either store.

A jar of butter butter estimated about 400 grams or 400 kilogram4s
Troyanec [42]
I would say its 400 grams because one kilogram is about 1,000 grams. And one gram is about the same weight of a paperclip, Unless you have a really big jar of peanut butter, i say 400 grams.
