Answer:

It would take 7.62 minutes for the third conveyor belt alone to do the same job

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

In this question:

First conveyor: Rate of 1/9.

Second: Rate of 1/11.

Third: Rate of 1/x.

Total: 1/3

So

\frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{11} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{3}

\frac{11x + 9x + 99}{99x} = \frac{1}{3}

\frac{20x + 99}{99x} = \frac{1}{3}

3(20x + 99) = 99x

60x + 297 = 99x

39x = 297

x = \frac{297}{39}

x = 7.62

It would take 7.62 minutes for the third conveyor belt alone to do the same job

Suppose that a number written as a decimal has an infinite number of non-repeating digits after the decimal point. What is this
enyata [817]

Answer:

irrational numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of numbers are known in mathematics as irrational numbers. This is because there is no way to truly rationalize these numbers as we cannot truly rationalize the meaning of infinity. These numbers keep going endlessly and there doesn't exist an end. One example of an irrational number is the value of Pi which we know as a simplified 3.14 but in reality, the value of Pi is endless. The first thousand places of Pi can be seen below

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

<em>The probability is 0.89 or 89%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability</u>

There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.

We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:

\displastyle p=\frac{24}{27}

Simplifying:

\displastyle p=\frac{8}{9}=0.89

The probability is 0.89 or 89%
