In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 40 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 10 barrels per minute.

A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 12 barrels per minute. In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels. How long will that take? How many barrels will each line have filled?

Answer:

20 minutes; 240 barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

Old line = 40 + 10t

New line = 12t

Equal when,

40 + 10t = 12t

40 = 2t

t = 20 minutes

Each line will have:

12t = 12(20) = 240 barrels

Answer:

20 minutes, 240 barrels

Step-by-step explanation:

Old line:   b(x) = 40 + 10x, where x is the number of minutes elapsed.

New line:  b2(x) = 12x

Equating these two functions results in

40 + 10x = 12 x, which, when simplified, comes out to

40 = 2x, or x = 20.

An equal number of barrels will have been filled after 20 minutes.

That number is b2(20) = 12(20) = 240, or 240 barrels.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Boys with B and Girls with G

P(B) = \frac{1}{2}

P(G) = \frac{1}{2}

Required

Find the probability or having 1 boy 2 girls

Since the order is not important, the probability is calculated as follows;

Probability = P(B) * P(G) * P(G)

Substitute \frac{1}{2} for P(B) and P(G)

Probability = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}

Probability = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 2 *2}

Probability = \frac{1}{8}

<em>Hence, the fractional probability is </em>\frac{1}{8}<em></em>
