Answer:

Let x be the first piece, y the 2nd, Z the 3rd

You know all of the pieces together make 24 thus,

24 = x + y + z

The second piece is 2 times longer than the 1st so,

y = 2x

The 3rd is 5 times longer

z = 5x

Replace them in the equation of the beginning

24 = x + 2x + 5x

24 = 8x

x = 3 (First piece)

y = 6 (Second Piece)

z = 15 (Third Piece)

Answer: first piece = 3 feet

Second piece = 6 feet

Third piece = 15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the siding is 24 feet.

It is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece. If x represents the length of the first​ piece, then the length of the second piece is 2x.

If the third piece is five times as long as the first piece, then the length of the third piece would be

5x. Therefore,

x + 2x + 5x = 24

8x = 24

x = 24/8

x = 3 feet

Length of the second piece = 2 × 3 = 6 feet.

Length of the third piece = 5 × 3 =

15 feet.

Next-door neighbors Bob and Jim use hoses from both houses to fill Bob's swimming pool. They know that it takes 22 h using both
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

correct answer: Bob's hose required alone 33 hours and Jim's hose required alone 66 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bob's hose time = 50% of Jim's hose time ⇒

⇒ Jim's hose time = 2 · Bob's hose time

Let be x  Bob's hose time and  2x Jim's hose time

The following equation will solve the problem:

1/x + 1/ 2x = 1/22  

The common denominator for both fractions is 2x, so we will multiply the first fraction by the number 2 and get:

2/2x + 1/2x = 1/22 ⇒ 3/2x = 1/22 ⇒ x = 3 · 22 / 2 ⇒ x = 3 · 11 = 33 hours

Bob's hose time x = 33 hours and

Jim's hose time 2x = 66 hours
