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

Okay well 7%, changes into 7/100=0.07 and there are 5 years and you have the beginning amount of 400. So 400×0.07=28. 28×5= 140. So add 140 to the be amount, 400+140=$540. Answer is $540.

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a st
madam [21]

Answer:

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If Z \leq 2 or Z \geq 2, the outcome X is considered to be unusual.

In this question:

\mu = 8.21, \sigma = 1.9

Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5 - 8.21}{1.9}

Z = -1.69

Z = -1.69 has a pvalue of 0.0455.

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (-4, -2) (4, 0)

   (0 + 2)/(4 + 4)= 2/8= 1/4

2. (-1, 2) (1, -3) = (-3 - 2)/(1 + 1) = -5/2

3. (-2, 3) (0, 0) = (0 - 3)/(0 + 2) = -3/2

4. (1, 1) (3,2) = (2 - 1)/(3 - 1)= 1/2
