Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be time to fill with all pipes open

All the pipes will complete a single job that is = 1

Given is that the tank can be filled by one pipe in 4 hours and by a second pipe in 6 hours and can be drained by a third pipe in 3 hours.

So, equation forms;

\frac{t}{4}+ \frac{t}{6}- \frac{t}{3}=1

=> \frac{3t+2t-4t}{12} =1

=> \frac{t}{12} =1

And t = 12 hours

Hence, it will take 12 hours to do the job.

12 hours..........
+ - = 1
Multiply by 12 to clear the fractions
3t + 2t - 4t = 12
t = 12 hrs to fill the pool

Stacy spins the pointer 120 times and records it. The pointer lands 30 times on a section numbered 2, 19 times on 3, 25 times on
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

1 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of trials = 120

Landing on 2 = 30

Landing on 3 = 19

Landing on 4 = 25

Landing on 5 = 29

Landing on 6 = 17

The experimental probability of landing in a two:

Experimental probability :

Number of times event occurs / Number of trials

Number of 2 landings = 30

Experimental probability of landing in a 2 ;

30 / 120 = 1/4

2- 1/2n=3n+16<br><br> I need you to solve the whole equation step by step
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16

Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.

-1/2n = 3n + 14

Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.

-7/2n = 14

Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.

-7n = 28

Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.

n = -4

Check.

2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16

2 + 2 = -12 + 16

4 = 4

Your answer is correct.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

y = 3

x = 1

y = 1.5

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first x point, look at the graph where x is 0. When x is 0, y is 3. So the first one is 3. For the second one, there is a point on the graph where y is 4. Where y is 4, x is 1, so you the second answer is 1. For the third one, find the y point where x is -1. At the x value, -1, y is 1.5. For the last one, where y is 5, x is 2.
