<u>Answer:</u>

The older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given a field can be harvested in 1 hr with 2 reapers

Consider the total field to be 1

Let x be the time of older’s reaper

The field can be harvested in 1.2 hr with newer reaper alone

Older’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{x} per hour

Newer’s time of harvesting = \frac{1}{1.2}per hour

Total (Older+Newer) = 1 = {\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}}

 \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{1.2}=1

 \frac{1.2+x}{1.2 x}=1

1.2 + x = 1.2x

1.2 = 0.2x

x = 6

Therefore, older repear will harvest in 6 hrs

Leokris [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • running speed: 8 mph
  • walking speed: 2 mph
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let w represent Lizette's walking speed. Then her running speed is w+6. The relationship between speed, time, and distance is ...

  distance = speed × time

Lizette ran for 1.5 hours, then walked for 3 hours. Her total distance is ...

  (w+6)·1.5 + w·3 = 18

  4.5w + 9 = 18 . . . . . simplify

  4.5w = 9 . . . . . . . . . subtract 9

  w = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4.5

Lizette's walking speed is 2 mph; her running speed is 8 mph.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:  (C) 0.1591

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A manufacturer of radial tires for automobiles has extensive data to support the fact that the lifetime of their tires follows a normal distribution with

\mu=42,100\text{ miles}

\sigma=2,510\text{ miles}

Let x be the random variable that represents the lifetime of the tires .

z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 44,500 miles

z=\dfrac{44500-42100}{2510}\approx0.96

For x= 48,000 miles

z=\dfrac{48000-42100}{2510}\approx2.35

Using the standard normal distribution table , we have

The p-value : P(44500

P(z

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a lifetime of between 44,500 miles and 48,000 miles =  0.1591

ii)  80°

Step-by-step explanation:

2.

i) 2x+x+3x=180°

x=30°

ii) x+110=180

x=70

iii) x+2x+30°=180

x=50°

iv) 2x+15°+45°+x=180

3x+60°=180

x=40°

3.

ii) 2x+5+25=180°

2x+30°=180°

x=75°

the measure:  x+5°= 75°+5°=80°
