It takes 8 minutes for Byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. When his younger sister is impa

tient, Byron also uses the lawn sprinkler to add water to the pool so it is filled more quickly. If the hose and sprinkler are used together, it takes 5 minutes to fill the pool. Which equation can be used to determine r, the rate in parts per minute, at which the lawn sprinkler would fill the pool if used alone?

Answer:

Rate at which sprinkler will fill the pool is \frac{3}{40} per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 8 minutes for Byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard with the use of handheld hose only.

So part of kiddie pool filled in one minute = \frac{1}{8}

When lawn sprinkler and handheld hose both were used to fill the pool,it took 5 minute to fill the pool together.

Now the part of pool filled in one minute = \frac{1}{5}

If the sprinkler fills the pool alone in r minutes then the pool filled per minute will be = \frac{1}{r}

Now we combine these three facts to form the equation.

\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{5}

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{8-5}{40}

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{3}{40}

r = \frac{40}{3}

Therefore, time taken by sprinkler alone will be 13.33 minutes and the rate per minute at which sprinkler will fill the pool is \frac{3}{40}.

Since you know that the hose will fill the whole pool in 8 minutes you know it will fill 1/8 of the pool per minute. In 5 minutes it will fill up 5/8 of the pool. This will make your equation 5/8 +5r=1. Solving for r will give you 3 parts/40 minutes

The height of a parallelogram is one-third its base. If the area of the parallelogram is 363 square inches, find its base and he
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Height = 11 inches

Base = 33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to find the height and base of a parallelogram given the area of the parallelogram.

From the question, we are told that height is 1/3 of base. This means that base is 3 times the height

So if we represent the height with variable h, then the base is 3h

Mathematically the area of a parallelogram can be calculated by the formula

A = bh

Thus ,

363 = h * 3h

3h^2 = 363

divide through by 3

h^2 = 121

h = √121

h = 11 inches

since b = 3h , then b = 3 * 11 = 33 inches
