------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 5 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/5 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 3 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/3 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower + Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 hour = 1/5 + 1/3 
1 hour = 3/15 + 5/15 
1 hour = 8/15 of the job.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate time needed to complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 of the job takes 1 hour
8/15 of the job = 1 hour 

------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8/15 on both side
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 ÷ 8/15 of the job = 1 ÷ 8/15 hour
Whole of the job = 1 x 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 1 7/8 hours

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 1 7/8 hours
------------------------------------------------------------------

The distance around a water fountain is 150 inches.What is the distance from the edge of the fountain to the center?
Scrat [10]

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.

The water fountain forms a circle. The distance around the water fountain is the circumference of the circle formed.

Therefore,

circumference = 2πr

150 = 2πr

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is the radius of the circle formed. Therefore,

75 = πr

r = 75 / 3.14159

r = 23.8732616287

r = 23.87 inches

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.

Q =3x2+5x-2 R = 2 – x2 S = 2x + 5 Find Q – [R + S] Show all of the steps.
matrenka [14]

Q=3x^2+5x-2\\R=2-x^2\\S=2x+5\\\\Q-[R+S]=(3x^2+5x-2)-[(2-x^2)+(2x+5)]\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-(2-x^2+2x+5)\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-[-x^2+2x+(2+5)]\\\\=(3x^2+5x-2)-(-x^2+2x+7)\\\\=3x^2+5x-2-(-x^2)-2x-7\\\\=3x^2+5x-2+x^2-2x-7\\\\=(3x^2+x^2)+(5x-2x)+(-2-7)\\\\=\boxed{4x^2+3x-9}

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each representation for finding patterns and making predictions?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The advantages & disadvantages of tables,graphs and words have been explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 major representation for finding patterns and making predictions are;

1.Tables

2. Graphs

3. Words

This means we want to find the advantages and disadvantages of using tables, graphs and words for finding patterns and making predictions.

1) Tables: Advantage is that we will be able to directly see the exact effect of the input variable on the output. While the disadvantage is that it's very difficult to see patterns.

2) Graphs: Advantage is that we can easily see the pattern of the representation. However the disadvantage is that we can't see the exact values arising from the effect of the input variable on the output.

3) Words: The advantage is that we can describe the data values in clear terms. However, the disadvantage is that we can't get exact values from just the words.
