Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total production order be X. The combined rate is thus x/36 orders per hour.

Now, we know that the three machines are working at the same constant rate. This means that individual rate for each of the machines will be x/36 divided by 3 and that gives x/108 per machine.

Now, we are having another machine coming at the same constant rate. This means we are adding an x/108 rate to the preexisting x/36.

The new total rate thus becomes x/108 + x/36 = 4x/108

Now we know that the total new rate is 4x/108. Since the total work doesn’t change and it is still x, the time taken to complete a work of x orders at a rate of 4x/108 order per hour would be x divided by 4x/108 and this is x * 108/4x = 108/4 = 27 hours

An office uses 478 pounds of paper in one week. The paper comes in packages that hold 18 pounds of paper each. How many packages
ddd [48]
To solve this, you would divide 478 by 18, which equals 26.5555556. Since you can't have half a package of paper, the answer would be 26. Hope this helps!

A 7-foot ladder is leaned against a building in such a way that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet from the base of the wall. Fi
sladkih [1.3K]

The ground, the building, and the ladder form a right triangle, in which
the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse.

For the angle between the ladder and the ground, the 4-ft along the ground
is the side adjacent to the angle, and the 7-ft ladder is the hypotenuse.

         (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse) = cosine of the angle.

                                         Cosine(a) = 4/7 = 0.57143... (rounded)

                                                    Angle 'a' = <em>55.15 degrees</em> (rounded)
