Answer:

Time machine one = 3.56

Time machine two = 4.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let machine 2 do the job in x hours

Let machine 1 do the job in x - 1 hours.

The general formula for this problem is

Time = A*B/(A + B)

Givens

Time = 2 hours

B = x hours alone

A = x - 1 hours alone.

#################

x *( x - 1)

======= = 2

(x + x - 1)

(x^2 - x)/(2x - 1) = 2

x^2 - x = 2(2x - 1)

x^2 - x = 4x - 2

x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0

a = 1

b = - 5

c = 2

This gives 2 roots

x = 4.56

x = 0.43

The second root will not work because when 1 is subtracted from 0.43 the time give will be minus, which won't work.

Time for machine 2 is 4.56

The time for machine 1 is 3.56

Check

(A * B)/(A + B) = 2

A = 4.56

B = 3.56

Time = 4.56*3.56/(4.56 + 3.56)

Time = 16.2336/(8.12)

Time = 1.9992

The rounding error in the check comes from the rounding error in the times.

Brainliest to the first correct answer!
Goryan [66]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that 0.25 went to 2.00. That means that it's a 1.75 jump. In order to jump the other two prices up and keep the ratio the same, you must also jump them 1.75.

0.05 + 1.75 = 1.80

0.10 + 1.75 = 1.85

To double check the ration we can look back on the original. 0.05 to 0.10 is a scale of 0.05. 0.10 to 0.25 is a scale of 0.15

Then we look at our new one. 1.80 to 1.85 is a scale of 0.05. 1.85 to 2.00 is a scale of 0.15.

The ratios stayed the same, so this is the correct answer.

I hope this helped :)

0.002 is 1/10 (fraction) of......
Tpy6a [65]
<span>0.002 is the 1/10 of what number.
Find the number that applies to this.
=> 0.002 has a thousandths value since it is placed next to the decimal points
=> To be able to get the answer. Let’s convert 1/10 into a decimal.
=> 1 / 10 = 0.1
Now that we have the same decimal numbers, we can now start dividing 0.1 to 0.002
=> 0.002 / 0.1
=> 0.02
Thus, 0.002 is the 1/10 of 0.02 number.</span><span>
