Remark

Start by figuring this out for 1 car. Worry about the 7 part when you find 1.

This problem is used quite frequently in physics. For example resistors in parallel use the same equation.

Formula

1/frank + 1/carla + 1/missy = 1/ time taken to do 1 mar.

Givens

Frank = 2 hours

Carla = 2 hours

Missy = 3 hours.

Substitute and Solve

1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 1/Three_together.

3/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 = 1/Three_together.

8/6 = 1/Three_together. Cross multiply

8 * Three_Together = 6*1

8 * Three_Together = 6 Divide by 8

Three_Together = 6/8 = 3/4 = 0.75 hours. or 45 minutes for 1 car

Seven Cars

For 7 cars multiply 0.75 by 7

7 * 0.75 = 5.25 hours. <<<< Answer

At the beginning of the season, carl had to remove 50 dead orange trees from his farm while each of the remaining trees produced
Len [333]

Answer:

y > (x - 50) * 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of dead trees = 50

Number of oranges produced by each of the remaining trees > 210

Let total number of trees = x ; total number of oranges produced = y

Hence, number of oranges produced, y

y > number of remaining trees * number of oranges produced per tree

y > (x - 50) * 210

A set of data is summarized by the stem and leaf plot below.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

30 values ; greater than or equal to 10 and less Than or equal to 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Counting the number of leaves in the plot, we have 30 leaf values. This gives the number of dataset.

The minimum value is the number created by the combination of the least stem value and the lowest leaf value, which is 10

The maximum value is obtained from the combination of the highest stem and leaf value. The highest value is 39

Flauer [41]
So, your problem is ((3x+2))/4) = ((8x-1)/5)?

If so, X= 14/17
