Combined rates

Susan = 2 car / 3 hr
= 2/3

Joe = 3 car / 4 hr
= 3/4

add the rates to get the new combined rate as 17 cars in "t" hours.

2/3 + 3/4 = 17/t

Need common denominator

2/3(4/4) + 3/4(3/3) = 17/t

8/12 + 9/12 = 17/t

17/12 = 17/t

see that "t" is 12 hours

Energy released as a gas changes into a liquid is called what? (#9)
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Energy will be released to change from liquid to solid (fusion), gas to liquid (condensation), or gas to solid. Latent heat of evaporation is the energy used to change liquid to vapor. IMPORTANT: The temperature does not change during this process, so heat added goes directly into changing the state of the substance

consider the line y= 2/3x-0. Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (8, 4).
tresset_1 [31]
Point-slope form of a line: we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope "m".
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

slope intercept form :
y=m+b

m=slope

If the line is parallel to y=2/3 x-0, the line will have the same slope, therefore the slope will be: 2/3.

Data:
(8,4)
m=2/3

y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-4=2/3(x-8)
y-4=2/3 x-16/3
y=2/3 x-16/3+4
y=2/3 x-4/3  (slope intercept form)

Answer: The equation of the line would be: y=2/3 x-4/3.


if we have the next slope "m",then the perendicular slope will be:
m´=-1/m

We have this equation: y=2/3 x+0; the slope is: m=2/3.

The perpendicular slope will be: m`=-1/(2/3)=-3/2

And the equation of the perpendicular line to : y=2/3 x+0, given the point (8,4) will be:

y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-4=-3/2 (x-8)
y-4=-3/2 x+12
y=-3/2x + 12+4
y=-3/2x+16

answer: the perpendicular line to y=2/3 x+0 , given the point (8,4) will be:
y=-3/2 x+16

The money in Juan's savings account earns 1 1/4% interest. Which value is less than 1 1/4 %? The values are: a. 1/4 b. 0.125 c.
aleksandrvk [35]
11/4% = (11/4)/100 = 11/400 = 0.0275;
1/4 = 0.2500;
1/80 = 0.0125;
We observe that 0.0125 < 0.0275 and 0.0114 < 0.0275 and 0.2500 > 0.0275 and 0.12500 > 0.0275;

The answers are c. and d.
