Answer:

Alicia will take 5 hours to clean the barn.

Step-by-step explanation:

John and Alicia are asked to clean the barn.

John can clean the barn alone in 3 hours.

So work done in one hour = \frac{1}{3}

Let Alicia takes x hours to clean the barn alone so work done in one hour by Alicia = \frac{1}{x}

Now it is given in the question that together they can clean the barn in 1\frac{7}{8} hour or \frac{15}{8} hours.

So work done together in one hour = \frac{1}{\frac{15}{8} }=\frac{8}{15}

Now we know work done in one hour by John + work done in one hour by Alicia = work done in one hour by both.

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{15}

\frac{3+x}{3x}=\frac{8}{15}

15(3+x) = 8 (3x) [By cross multiplication]

45 + 15x = 24x - 15x

45 = 9x

x = \frac{45}{9} = 5

Therefore, Alicia will take 5 hours to clean the barn by herself.

If tan theta = 12/5 and cos theta &lt; 0, what is sin theta ?
Talja [164]
1 + tan ² Ф=sec²Ф
1+(12/5)²=sec²Ф
169/25=sec² Ф
sec Ф=⁺₋√(169/25)=⁺₋13/5

sec Ф=1/cos Ф ⇒cosФ=1/sec Ф
 cos Ф>0   ⇔  sec Ф>0  ⇔  sec Ф=+ 13/5

cos Ф=1/secФ
cos Ф=1 / 13/5=5/13

we can calculate the sin Ф, with this method.
sin²Ф + cos²Ф=1  ⇒ sin Ф=⁺₋√(1-cos² Ф)
sin Ф=⁺₋√[1-(5/13)²]=⁺₋12/13
like cos Ф>0 and tan Ф>0   ⇒ sin Ф>0 ⇒sin Ф=12/13

answer: d.12/13

other method
tan Ф=sin Ф / cos Ф
12/5=sin Ф / 5/13
sin Ф=(12/5)*(5/13)=12/13

answer: d.12/13
