Let x be the time it takes Elias and Niko to polish the silver working together. If Elias works alone, he could polish all the silver himself in 40 minutes. Then, in 1 minute, he will make \frac{1}{40} of the total work. If the same analysis is applied Niko, in 1 minute, will make \frac{1}{50} of the total work.


Working together Elias and Niko will need x minutes to make all the work. Then, in 1 minute, they will make \frac{1}{x} of the total work.  So, the fraction of the total work they make in 1 minute is given by this equation:

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{50} \\ \\ \frac{1}{x}=\frac{50+40}{2000} \\ \\ x=\frac{2000}{90} \\ \\ \boxed{x=22.22 minutes}

We let x be the number of hours both could the job together.
The fraction of the job done by Elias is
x/40

The fraction of the job done by Niko is
x/50

Together they would be able to finish the job (one job)

x/40 + x/50 = 1
x = 1 / (1/40 + 1/50)
x = 22.22 minutes

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>

A boat takes 2 hours to travel 15 miles upriver against the current. if the rate of the boat in still water is 12 miles per hour
OLga [1]

Answer:

4.5 mph or 9/2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the rate of the current

Formula: Distance = rate x time

where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours

15=(12-x)(2)

15=24–2x

2x=24–15

2x= 9

x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)

How to solve 4(2x-7)-2×=-10 step by step
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x-7)-2x=-10

Multiply 4 with 2x and -7

8x-28-2x=-10

Add like terms which are 8x and -2x

6x-28=-10

Add 28 to both sides so the -28 cancels out

6x=18

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the x

Answer= x=3
