X+y=55
Y= X+17

X+ X+17=55
2x+17=55
Subtract 17
2x= 38
Divide by 2
X=19
Larger number 19+17=36
36

Suppose the adult population of Micronesia is 100,000 people. Of these 100,000 people, 20,000 are not in the labor force. Of the
QveST [7]

Answer:

b. 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to obtain the unemployment rate in Micronesia, you have to divide the amount unemployees that still in the labor force between the amount of people in the labor force.

The labor force is defined as the number of people employed plus the unemployed people who are seeking work.

The number of people employed is the people who work part time plus the people who are fully employed (the remainder of the 80,000 people). Therefore:

14,000 + (80,000 -16,000 - 4,000 - 14,000)

14,000+46,000=60,000

The number of unemployed people who are seeking work is:

4,000

The labor force is:

60,000 + 4,000 = 64,000

The unemployment rate is:

4,000/64,000 = 0.0625

Multiplying by 100 to obtain the percentage:

0.0625(100)=6.25%

Find the altitude of the triangle.<br> 30 degrees<br> Hypotenuse of 14
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Approx. 12.124 units tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need to find the height (which is adjacent to the given angle), you need to use cosine (adj. over hypotenuse).

cos(30) = x/14

Multiply both sides by 14:

14cos(30) = x

Hope this helps :)

Ginger wants to fill her new swimming pool. She has two pumps; the larger pump takes 40 minutes to fill the pool, and the smalle
Talja [164]

As per the problem,

The larger pump takes 40 minutes to fill the pool.

The smaller one takes 60 minutes.

When both the pumps are working , let the time taken be x minutes , then we can write

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{60}\\ \\ \text{Make the denominator equal we get}\\ \\    \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{40}*\frac{60}{60}+\frac{1}{60}*\frac{40}{40}\\ \\   \frac{1}{x}=\frac{60}{2400}+\frac{40}{24000}\\ \\   \text{Simplify we get}\\ \\ \frac{1}{x}=\frac{60+40}{2400}\\ \\ \frac{1}{x}=\frac{100}{2400}\\ \\ \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{24}\\ \\ x=24\\

Hence, when both the pumps works together, Time taken =24 minutes.
