Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the volume of the pool by V.

If the larger hose takes 50 minutes to fill the pool, the amount of water this hose fills is V/50

Let's call the amount of time the small hole takes to fill the pool on its own by T, so its speed is V/T

The two holes together fill the pool in 30 minutes, so their speed summed is V/30:

V/50 + V/T = V/30

Dividing the equation by V, we have:

1/50 + 1/T = 1/30

(3T + 150)/150T = 5T/150T

3T + 150 = 5T

2T = 150

T = 75 minutes

Answer:

75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the time it will take a smaller hose out of two hoses to fill a swimming pool by itself.

Firstly, let’s say the volume of the swimming pool to fill is Xm^3.

Hence for both, the rate of filling is x/30 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, rate will be x/50 m^3/minutes. For the larger hose, let the time taken be z minutes. It’s rate will be x/z m^3/minute.

Mathematically, adding both rates together give the rate of both at the same time. This means;

X/30 = x/50 + x/z

X/z = x/30 - c/50

x/z = 20/1500

x/z = 1/75

z = x/75

This means the time that it will take the smaller hose will be 75 minutes

PLEASE HELP FAST! <br> what is the value of tanX<br> A) 7/18<br> B 18/7

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The value of Tan(x) is:

\frac{7}{24}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we want to know the value of Tan(x), we need to use the following formula:

Tan(x)=\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent(XZ)}

We already know the opposite side, but we need to find the value of the distance "XZ",so, we can calculate it using the Pythagorean Theorem since it's a right triangle.

Let be:

a=25\\b=7

Then, finding "XZ" we have:

a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}\\ \\25^{2}=7^{2}+c^{2} \\\\c^{2}=625-49\\\\c=\sqrt{576}=24

Now, finding the value of Tan(x), we have:

Tan(x)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\Tan(x)=\frac{7}{24}

Hence, we have that the value of Tan(x) is:

\frac{7}{24}

Have a nice day!

The Ratio of red jackets to blue jackets is 3 to 4. If there were 36 blue jackets in the closet, how many red jackets would be t
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 part of the ratio refers to 36 blue jackets.

Divide 36 by 4 to find the value of one part of the ratio

36 ÷ 4 = 9 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

3 parts = 3 × 9 = 27 ← number of red jackets
