Answer:the number of hours that the Simmons family used their sprinklers last summer is 30

the number of hours that the Wright family used their sprinklers last summer is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that the Simmons family used their sprinklers last summer.

Let y represent the number of hours that the Wright family used their sprinklers last summer.

The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, it means that

x + y = 55

The water output rate for the Simmons family's sprinkler was 20l per hour. The water output rate for the Wright family's sprinkler was 35l per hour. The total water output was 1475l. It means that

20x + 35y = 1475 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 55 - y into equation 1, it becomes

20(55 - y) + 35y = 1475

1100 - 20y + 35y = 1475

- 20y + 35y = 1475 - 1100

15y = 375

y = 375/15 = 25

x = 55 - y = 55 - 25

x = 30

Please help me out please

Answer:

302 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a cone is calculated using the formula

V = \frac{1}{3} πr²h

where r is the radius and h the height

Consider the right triangle from the vertex of the cone to the midpoint of the base and the radius

with hypotenuse = 10 cm

h² + 6² = 10²

h² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

h² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{64} = 8

Hence

V = \frac{1}{3} π × 6² × 8

  = \frac{1}{3} π × 36 × 8

   = \frac{36(8)\pi }{3} ≈ 302 m³

Answer:

3×10x^{-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

0.00000003

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

A company collected $7,800 by selling shoes. The company had $6,084 left after paying the tax. What was the percentage of tax?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of tax can be found by calculating the percent change.

new - old / old

6084 - 7800 / 7800

= -0.22 or -22%

This means the price decreased by 22%, meaning you paid 22% in taxes.
