Answer:

1/3 - 1/x=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total work be "1"

                        Brody          Hudson              Brody+Hudson

  Time              3 mins            x min                       5 min

  Efficiency        1/3                   -1/x                          1/5

The efficiency of Hudson is negative as he is taking out the candies out of the bowl, since efficiency of Brody + efficiency of Hudson = efficiency of both, which means,

1/3 - 1/x = 1/5....

Point b has coordinates (-8,15) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2+y^2=289. If an angles is drawn in standard position
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of Point b=(-8,15)

b lies on the circle whose equation is x^2+y^2=289

x^2+y^2=17^2

Comparing with the general form a circle with center at the origin: x^2+y^2=r^2

The radius of the circle =17 which is the length of the hypotenuse of the terminal ray through point b.

For an angle drawn in standard position through point b,

x=-8 which is negative

y=15 which is positive

Therefore, the angle is in Quadrant II.

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} \\$Adjacent=-8\\Hypotenuse=17\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-8}{17} \\\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}

a chef has 5 blocks of butter. Each weights 1 pound. she cuts each block into fourths. how many 1/4 pound pieces of butter does
lianna [129]
The answer would be 20 because you have 5 blocks that are cut into 1/4. It doesn't say anything about any of the pieces disappearing or being used yet so you multiply 4*5 and then you get the answer.
