Answer:

63.5minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time it takes the small pipe to fill the tank be x

Let the time it takes the larger pipe to fill the tank be y

If the two pipes can fill a tank in 98 minutes if both are turned on then:

x+y = 98...1

If only one is used and it takes 29 minutes longer for the smaller pipe to fill the tank than the larger pipe

x = 29+y... 2

Substituting equation 2 into 1 to get y we have:

29+y+y = 98

29+2y = 98

2y = 98-29

2y = 69

y = 69/2

y = 34.5minutes

x = 29+34.5

x = 63.5

This means it will take the smaller pipe 63.5minutes to fill the tank

<span>x = 2, y = 1
       
= 3*2 + 7*1
   
= 6+7
   
= 13
       
Hence, (2, 1) is the answer.</span>

Find the interest rate needed for the sinking fund to reach the required amount. Assume that the compounding period is the same
Maslowich

Answer:

so rate is 4.72 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

time (t) = 5 year  = 5×4 = 20 quarterly

amount = $27456

principal = $1225

to find out

interest rate (r)

solution

we use here amount formula that is

amount = principal ((1+r)^{t} -1 ) / r      .....................1

put all value principal , amount and time in equation 1 and we get rate

rate is r/4 because it is quarterly payment

amount = principal ((1+r/4)^{t} -1 ) / r/4

27456 = 1225 ((1+r/4)^{20} -1 ) / r/4

((1+r/4)^{20} -1 ) / r/4  = 27456/ 1225

((1+r)^{20} -1 ) / r  = 27456/ (1225 × 4)

((1+r)^{20} -1 ) = r 27456/ (1225 × 4)

now by the tvm solver and amount  $27456

graph value

we get r = 0.0472

so rate is 4.72 %

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?
Anit [1.1K]

For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,

x=Ky,

Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and <em>K </em>is the proportionality constant. If we take <em>Caramel Corn  </em>values as x and <em>Cheddar Corn </em>values as y, and then solve for <em>K </em>for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.

15=K(10)\\K=\frac{15}{10}= \frac{3}{2},

30=K(20)\\K=\frac{30}{20}= \frac{3}{2}, and

45=K(30)\\K=\frac{45}{30}= \frac{3}{2}.

Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case <em>K,</em> is equal to \frac{3}{2} or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.
