First, write 2 1/4 as a fraction.
Then you find the reciprocal.

$2 \dfrac{1}{4} = 2 + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{2}{1} + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{8}{4} + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{9}{4}$

The reciprocal of 9/4 is 4/9.

Answer: The reciprocal of 2 1/4 is 4/9.

Answer:

Her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track is $0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered in one round , D= 400 m

Time taken to cover one round , T = 1 min 40 s = 100 sec

Speed of runner , $V=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{400}{100}\, \frac{m}{s}= 4.0\, \frac{m}{s}$

Now centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$

where $V= 4.0\frac{m}{s}$

$Radius, R= \frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{74}{2}m=37\, m$

$\therefore a_c=\frac{4^{2}}{37}\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}=0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Thus her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track is $0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

two pumps of different sizes, working together, can empty a fuel tank in 3 hours. the larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours

bonufazy [111]

Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 -9 = 121

+9 +9

2x^2 = 130

/2 /2

x^2 = 65

x= sqrt (65)

x= 8.06225...

Ok I’m actually dumb lol help me please.

mezya [45]

Answer:

x =20

Step-by-step explanation:

As a line is 180 degrees

So 7x + 40 would be 180, which would lead us with the equation:

7x+40=180

=7x =140 (minus both sides by 40)

=x =20 (divide both sides by 7)
