A farmer pumps water from an irrigation well to water his field. the time it takes to water the field varies inversely with the

rate at which the pump operates. it takes 20 hours to water the field when the pumping rate is 600 gallons per minute. if he adjusts the pump so that it pumps at a rate of 400 gallons per minute, how long will it take to water the field?

In order to answer this question, we use the concept of ratio and proportion wherein we use the equation,
                                 R1 / T2 = R2 / T1
where R is for rate and T is for time. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                                 (600)/x = (400)/ 20
The value of x from the equation is 30. Thus, it will take 30 hours if the rate was adjusted to 400 gallons per minute.

I need help on D pleaseeeeee!!! and explain please I dont understand.
kodGreya [7K]
Since it says the line will be parallel to that, keep 2x-3y and replace -6 with a variable.
Like this: 2x-3y=c
Replace x and y with the x and y values from (1,-2)
2(1)-3(-2)=c
Solve for c
2+6=c
8=c
Now, replace c in 2x-3y=c with 8:
2x-3y=8 is the answer

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS???
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Cost of a pound of chocolate chips: $3.5

Cost of a pound of walnuts: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x - cost of a pound of chocolate chips

y - cost of a pound of walnuts

We create two equations based on the information we have:

3x+2y=13

8x+4y=33

The whole point of these problems os to get rid of x or y. In this question, we can do this by multiplying both sides of the first equation by 2, and then subtracting it from the second equation:

8x+4y=33

6x+4y=26

2x=7

x=3.5

Then we change x for 3.5 in the first equation:

3×3.5+2y=13

10.5+2y=13

2y=2.5

y=1.25

Hope this helps!

What does standard deviation mean?
Sveta_85 [38]
Standard deviation is: It is a measure of how spread out numbers are. It is the square root of the Variance, and the Variance is the average of the squared differences from the Mean.

For example: To find the standard deviation, you have to add up all the numbers in the data set, then divide by how many numbers there are, and that will get you your answer.

Example,  Say your data set is: 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4, 10, 9, 6, 9, 4.

The Mean is: 9 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 12 + 7 + 8 + 11 + 9 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 10+ 9 + 6 + 9 + 4. Over 20. That equals: 104 over 20 = 7.

So, the Standard Variance and  Mean is: 7 for this problem.

Hope I helped!
