Answer:

Number of trucks = 24

Number of SUVs = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The ratio of cars to trucks is 9:4

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

9+4 = 13

Let x = sum of cars and trucks.

There are 54 cars. Therefore,

x = 54 + t trucks

Number of cars = ratio of cars/ total ratio × sum of cars and trucks. This means,

54 = 9/13 × x

9x / 13 = 54

9x = 13 × 54

9x = 702

x = 702 / 9 = 78

x = 54 + t trucks = number of trucks = 78 = 54 + t trucks

t trucks = 78 - 54 = 24

Number of trucks = 24

B)

The ratio of trucks to SUVs is 12:21

The total ratio of cars to trucks is

12 + 21 = 33

Let y = sum of trucks and SUVs

There are 24 trucks. Therefore,

x = 24 + s SUVs

Number of trucks = ratio of trucks / total ratio × sum of trucks and SUVs. This means,

24 = 12 / 33 × y

12y / 33 = 24

12y = 24 × 33

12y = 792

y = 792 / 12 = 66

y = 24 + s SUVs

66 = 24 + s SUVs

s SUVs = 66 - 24 = 42

Number of SUVs = 24

2. Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer to paint a room. If they work together, they can complete the job in 4 hours. Explai
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

Rates

The together rate is the sum of their separates rate.

We have that:

Jennifer takes x hours to complete the job on her own, so her rate is 1/x.

Carl needs 15 hours longer than Jennifer, that is, 15 + x hours, so his rate is 1/(15+x).

The together rate is 1/4. So

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{15+x}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + x + x}{x(15+x)}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15 + 2x}{x(15+x)}

Applying cross multiplication.

x^2 + 15x = 4(15 + 2x)

x^2 + 15x = 60 + 8x

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Quadratic equation with a = 1, b = 7, c = -60. So

\Delta = 7^{2} - 4*1*60 = 289

x_{1} = \frac{-7 + \sqrt{289}}{2} = 5

x_{2} = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{289}}{2} = -12

Since the time to complete the job has to be a positive value.

Jennifer would complete the job on her own in 5 hours.

Most research claim at least 20 seconds, therefore 5 sec and 10-15 seconds are too less. 30 seconds seems to be the most fitting answer.
