A swimming pool can be filled by any of three hoses A, B or C. Hoses A and B together take 4 hours to fill the pool. Hoses A and

C together take 5 hours to fill the pool. Hoses B and C together take 6 hours to fill the pool. How many hours does it take hoses A, B and C working together to fill the pool?

Answer:

3 hours  28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = the RATE at which hose A can fill the pool alone

Let B = the RATE at which hose B can fill the pool alone

Let C = the RATE at which hose C can fill the pool alone

Hoses A and B working simultaneously can pump the pool full of water in 4 hours

From Question. The combined RATE of hoses A and B is 1/4 of the pool PER HOUR

In other words, A + B = ¼

Hoses B and C working simultaneously can pump the pool full of water in 6 hours

From Question. The combined RATE of hoses A and C is 1/4 of the pool PER HOUR

In other words, B + C = 1/6

Hoses A and C working simultaneously can pump the pool full of water in 5 hours

From Question. The combined RATE of hoses A and C is 1/5 of the pool PER HOUR

In other words, A + C = 1/5

At this point, we have the following system:

A + B = 1/4  ...1

B + C = 1/6  ...2

A + C = 1/5  ...3

Considering equation one

A  = 1/4 -B

A = (1 - 4B)/4 ....4

sub equation 4 into 2

(1 - 4B)/4 + C = 1/5

C = B - (1/20)

Considering equation  3

B + [B-(1/20)] = 1/6

B =7/80

Sub B Into enq 1 and 2

A =13/80

C = 3/80

A+B+C = 23/80

          3.47

=> 3 hours

0.47 × 60 = 28minutes

Answer: T = 3 hours 14.6minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the fraction of the pool hose A alone can fill in one hour.

Let B represent the fraction of the pool hose B alone can fill in one hour.

Let C represent the fraction of the pool hose C alone can fill in one hour.

So, From the question;

Hose A and B fills 1/4 of the pool in one hour

Hose A and C fills 1/5 of the pool in one hour

Hose B and C fills 1/6 of the pool in one hour

Which gives the equation below

A + B = 1/4 ...1

B + C = 1/6 ...2

A + C = 1/5 ...3

Considering eqn 1

A = 1/4 -B

A = (1 - 4B)/4 ....4

substituting equation 4 into 2

(1 - 4B)/4 + C = 1/5

C = B - 1/20. .....5

Substituting equation 5 into 3

B + [B-1/20] = 1/6

2B = 1/6 + 1/20 = 13/60

B =13/120

Substituting B= 13/120 Into enq 5

C = 13/120 - 1/20 = 7/120

Substituting B into eqn 4

A = 1/4 - 13/120 = 17/120

When the three pumps are working simultaneously the fraction filled in one hour is

A+B+C = 37/120

The time taken to completely fill the pool is

T = 120/37 hours

T = 3.243243243243hours

T = 194.6minutes

T = 3 hours 14.6 minutes

Find the value of x. Give reasons to justify your solution. C ∈ AE
saw5 [17]

Answer:

x = 11º

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Notice Parallel Lines

2. Understand Angle Relationships When Parallel Lines Are Present (e.g., alternate interior/exterior)

3. ∠CAB ≅ ∠DCA ∴ m∠CAB = 33º

4. Use exterior angle theorem: the sum of non-adjacent angles of the same triangle which the exterior angle is drawn is equal to the measure of that angle.

5. Therefore write and solve the equation 2x + 33º (sum of non-adjacent interior angles) = 5x (exterior angle).

  • 2x + 33 = 5x (C.L.T or <u>C</u>ombine <u>L</u>ike <u>T</u>erms)
  • 3x = 33 (inverse operations; divide by 3)
  • x = 11º (remember to apply units)

Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails. Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails. Aadi is going to throw
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

(1) The correct option is (A).

(2) The probability that Aadi will get Tails is \frac{2}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that:

  • Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails.
  • Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails.

The probability of tail in both cases is:

  • P(\text{Tail})=\frac{3}{10}
  • P(\text{Tail})=\frac{20}{50}=\frac{2}{5}

(1)

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

In this case we need to compute the proportion of tails.

Then according to the Central limit theorem, Sue's estimate is best because she throws it <em>n = </em>50 > 30 times.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

(2)

As explained in the first part that Sue's estimate is best for getting a tail, the probability that Aadi will get Tails when he tosses the coin once is:

P(\text{Tail})=\frac{20}{50}=\frac{2}{5}

Thus, the probability that Aadi will get Tails is \frac{2}{5}.

Vance bought 2 packages of large beads
VashaNatasha [74]

The no. of more buttons than beads that Vance bought is 1 (medium package)

<h3>What is an algebraic expression?</h3>

In mathematics, an expression that incorporates variables, constants, and algebraic operations is known as an algebraic expression (addition, subtraction, etc.).

<h3>How to solve algebraic expressions? </h3>

A General Rule for Equation Solving

B Remove parenthesis from either side of the equation and combine similar phrases to make it simpler.

C To separate the variable term on one side of the equation, use addition or subtraction.

D To find the variable, use division or multiplication.

Given:- The no: of package of large beads is 2

            The no: of the package of medium beads is 1

            The no: of the package of large buttons is 2

            The no: of the package of medium buttons is 2

Hence large packages

2(buttons)-2(beads)=0

For medium packages

2(buttons)-1(beads)=0

therefore, the no of more buttons than beads is 1 medium package
