Answer:

The number of machines to complete job in 2 hours is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation of the rate of each one machine and knowing that adding up both rates.

  1. Rate R +Rate S= Rate total

Rate R = \frac{x}{36}  'x' is the job

Rate S = \frac{x}{18}  'x' is the job

So, using the equation of rates

        Rate total =\frac{x}{36} + \frac{x}{18}

Rate total is going to be a job in 2 hours so = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{36}+\frac{x}{18} <em>adding up</em>

\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{3}{36}  <em>factoring the x</em>

\frac{1}{2}= x*\frac{1}{12}  <em>simplifying</em>

x= \frac{12}{2} \\

x= 6

A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1/4meter by 2/3meter by 3/5meter. What is the volume of the trap in the cu
Travka [436]

To find the volume of a box-shaped fish trap, we have to multiply the three dimensions of it: 

(1/4 m)* (2/3 m)* (3/5 m)

= (1*2*3)/ (4*3*5) m^(3)

= 6/ 60 m^(3)

= 1/10 m^(3)

= 0.1 m^(3)

The volume of the box-shaped fish trap is 0.1 m^(3).

Hope this is helpful~

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

f(x) = (x - 10) (x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation looks like the difference of squares so 5 and 20 are out

-10 x -10 = 100

-10 x 10 = - 100

so (x - 10) (x + 10)
