Answer:

17(pi)r/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since neither hand length is known, you can have an answer in terms of one of the hands, but you cannot get just a number.

Let r = the length of the hour hand.

Then, the length of the minute hand is 150% of r = 1.5r.

The minute hand is the radius of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand. In 1 hour, the minute hand rotates one full revolution, so the tip of the minute hand moves the circumference of the circle drawn by the tip of the minute hand.

Now we find the circumference of the circle of the tip of the minute hand.

C = 2 * pi * r,

but the radius here is 1.5r, so we get

C_minute_hand =  2 * pi * (1.5)r

C_minute_hand = 3(pi)r

The hour hand rotates a full revolution in 12 hours, so it rotates 1/12 of a revolution in 1 hour. The radius is r.

C_hour_hand = 2 * pi * r * 1/12

C_hour_hand = (pi)r/6

The difference in how much each tip travels is

3(pi)r - (pi)r/6 = (pi)r(3 - 1/6) = 17(pi)r/6

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Number of children = x = 88

Number of Adults = y = 252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of children = x

Number of Adults = y

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 340 people used the public swimming pool.

Hence:

x + y = 340..... Equation 1

x = 340 - y

The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $677.00.

$1.25 × x + $2.25 × y =$ 677

1.25x + 2.25y = 677..... Equation 2

Let us substitute: 340 - y for x in Equation 2

1.25(340 - y) + 2.25y = 677

= 425 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 677

Collect like terms

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 677 - 425

1y = 252

y = 252

Solving for x

x = 340 - y

x = 340 - 252

x = 88

Therefore the number of children and adults that swam at the public pool that​ day are: 88 children and 252 Adults.e
