8 0

Answer:

22.67 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cars washed is the average by the total hours worked:

C_{total}=\bar xt,\bar x=8.5,t=8\\\\C_{total}=8.5\times 8=68

Given that each car uses 1/3 tin of wax, the total containers is calculated as:

Containers=\bar x_c n,n=68,\bar x_c=\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 68\\\\=22.67

Hence, the car wash uses 22.67 containers of wax per day.

Solve the following system:
{6 t - 5 s = -4 | (equation 1)
{-r - 4 s + 3 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{-2 r - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 1 with equation 3:
{-(2 r) - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 1)
{-r - 4 s + 3 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{-(2 r) - 4 s - 4 t = -9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 2 s + 5 t = 1/2 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 1 by -1:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 2 s + 5 t = 1/2 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Multiply equation 2 by 2:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 4 s + 10 t = 1 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 3)
Swap equation 2 with equation 3:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r - 4 s + 10 t = 1 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4/5 × (equation 2) from equation 3:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+(26 t)/5 = 21/5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+26 t = 21 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 3 by 26:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s + 6 t = -4 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 6 × (equation 3) from equation 2:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r - 5 s+0 t = (-115)/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 2 by -5:
{2 r + 4 s + 4 t = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 r + 0 s+4 t = 25/13 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Subtract 4 × (equation 3) from equation 1:
{2 r+0 s+0 t = (-17)/13 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
{0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{r+0 s+0 t = (-17)/26 | (equation 1)
{0 r+s+0 t = 23/13 | (equation 2)
v0 r+0 s+t = 21/26 | (equation 3)

The hypotenuse of a 90-45-45 triangle is 20√2. What is the short leg and the long leg>
stepan [7]

Answer:

Both legs would be 20

Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.

I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.

The captain of a boat knows that a lighthouse on the coast is 100 ft. tall. If he measures the angle of elevation to be 2 degree
faltersainse [42]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

           | \

           |   \

           |      \

           |         \

           |            \

100 ft.  |              \

           |         2     \

           |_________\

                    x

Use tangent to find the x.

tan(2) = \frac{100}{x}

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)}

Use a calculator to evaluate.

x = \frac{100}{tan(2)} = 2863.6253

So, the boat is 2,863.63 feet from the shore.

A walkway surrounds a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is 3 meters, and the length
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

You are given the width of the garden which is w= 8 feet

length of the garden which l= 6 feet

the width of the walkway is x

so for every side of the garden there is an x

so length overall would be 8+2x (length of garden + x one side + x other side)

and width overall would be 6 + 2x (width of garden + x of one side + x of other side)

area of rectangle is length*width

so the expression would be (8+2x)*(6+2x)

:))) smile....

I hope it is correct.

Find the common ratio for the following sequence .1, .01, .001
morpeh [17]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>common ratio</em> of a sequence is the number you multiply one term to get the next one. Here, we multiply 0.1 by 0.1 to get 0.01, and 0.01 by 0.1 to get 0.001, so our common ratio is 0.1.
