<u>Answer-</u>

<em>Kai spends </em><em>8 hours 20 minutes</em><em> in school.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Let us assume, Kai spends x minutes in school.

Kai calculates that he spends 15% of a school day in science class and that is 75 minutes, i.e

\Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{15}{100}=75

\Rightarrow x=75\times \dfrac{100}{15}

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{7500}{15}

\Rightarrow x=500\ \text{minutes}

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{500}{60}\ \text{hours}

\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{25}{3}\ \text{hours}

\Rightarrow x=8\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{hours}

Therefore, Kai spends 8 hours 20 minutes in school.

I really need to know how long it takes the large pipe on its own
Andreyy89

s = hours it takes the small pipe on its own.


L = hours it takes the large pipe on its own.


we know the small pipe can do it in 11 hours total, so s = 11, so, how much of the whole job has the small done in 1 hour only?


well, if it takes 11 hours to do the whole thing, in 1 hour it has done only 1/11 of the whole job.


we know both pipes working together can do it in 6 hours flat. So in 1 hour only, both of them have done only 1/6 of the whole thing.


in that 1 hour, how much has the large one done? well, it has only done 1/L of the job.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{how much has it been done by both in 1 hour}}{\stackrel{\stackrel{small}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{s}}+\stackrel{\stackrel{large}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{L}}~~=~~\stackrel{job}{\cfrac{1}{6}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{11}+\cfrac{1}{L}=\cfrac{1}{6}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{66L}}{6L+66=11L}\implies 66=5L \\\\\\ \cfrac{66}{5}=L\implies 13\frac{1}{5}=L\impliedby \textit{13 hours and 12 minutes}


and you can round that up as needed.

In Triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49° , XY = 18°, and
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

There are two choices for angle Y: Y \approx 54.987^{\circ} for XZ \approx 15.193, Y \approx 27.008^{\circ} for XZ \approx 8.424.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mistakes in the statement, correct form is now described:

<em>In triangle XYZ, measure of angle X = 49°, XY = 18 and YZ = 14. Find the measure of angle Y:</em>

The line segment XY is opposite to angle Z and the line segment YZ is opposite to angle X. We can determine the length of the line segment XZ by the Law of Cosine:

YZ^{2} = XZ^{2} + XY^{2} -2\cdot XY\cdot XZ \cdot \cos X (1)

If we know that X = 49^{\circ}, XY = 18 and YZ = 14, then we have the following second order polynomial:

14^{2} = XZ^{2} + 18^{2} - 2\cdot (18)\cdot XZ\cdot \cos 49^{\circ}

XZ^{2}-23.618\cdot XZ +128 = 0 (2)

By the Quadratic Formula we have the following result:

XZ \approx 15.193\,\lor\,XZ \approx 8.424

There are two possible triangles, we can determine the value of angle Y for each by the Law of Cosine again:

XZ^{2} = XY^{2} + YZ^{2} - 2\cdot XY \cdot YZ \cdot \cos Y

\cos Y = \frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ}

Y = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{XY^{2}+YZ^{2}-XZ^{2}}{2\cdot XY\cdot YZ} \right)

1) XZ \approx 15.193

Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-15.193^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]

Y \approx 54.987^{\circ}

2) XZ \approx 8.424

Y = \cos^{-1}\left[\frac{18^{2}+14^{2}-8.424^{2}}{2\cdot (18)\cdot (14)} \right]

Y \approx 27.008^{\circ}

There are two choices for angle Y: Y \approx 54.987^{\circ} for XZ \approx 15.193, Y \approx 27.008^{\circ} for XZ \approx 8.424.

9 / 3/4 into a improper fraction
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

39/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 - Setup

First, we set up the mixed number 9 3/4 with different colors, so it is easy to follow along:

9

   3  

   4  

Step 2 - Multiply

Next, we multiply the whole number by the denominator.

9 x 4 = 36

Step 3 - Add Numerator

Then, we add the numerator to the answer we got in Step 2.

36 + 3 = 39

Step 4 - Solution

Finally, to get the solution, we keep the original denominator and make the numerator the answer from Step 3. Thus, 9 3/4 as an improper fraction is:

   39  

   4
