Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour
the first equation that we can write is
A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)
the second equation we can write is
A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)
the third equation that we can write is
B = 2C (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)
now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations
A + 2C = 1/4
A + C = 1/5
A = 1/5 - C
1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4
C = 1/4 -1/5
C = (5-4)/20
C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)
A = 1/5 - 1/20
A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20
B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10
x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Volume of small box = 10 cubic feet
Volume of large box = 24 cubic feet
Total boxes shipped = 23
Combined volume = 426 cubic feet
Let,
x represent the number of small boxes.
y represent the number of large boxes.
x+y=23
10x+24y=426
x+y=23 and 10x+24y=426 can be used to determine the number of small and large boxes shipped where x represents the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.
