A swimming pool holds 585,000 liters of water. The pool has two drainage pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe

alone can empty it in 135 minutes, and the second pipe alone can empty it in 195 minutes. When both pipes are draining together, how long does it take them to empty the pool?

Answer:

79.77 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to find out how many liters the pipes drain per minute

pipe 1: 585000/135=4333.33 lpm

pipe 2:585000/195=3000 lpm

p 1 and 2: 7333.33 lpm

now divide the lpm of both pipes by the amount in the pool to find your answer

585000/7333.33=79.77 minutes

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

11m + 13 = m + 23

<u>Get m by itself by subtracting m from both sides. </u>

10m + 13 = 23

<u>Subtract 13 from both sides.</u>

10m = 10

<u>DIvide by 10.</u>

m = 1

The area of a playground is 336 yd2. The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of th
kondaur [170]
L=16
W=21

Set up a systems of equations: 
x=length 
y=width 

xy=336
x+5=y

Use substitution to solve: 
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336 

Solve using factoring: 
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21 
Since length can't be negative, l=16 

To find width, plug length into the first equation: 
(16)y=336
y=21 

So...
L=16
<span>W=21</span>

1st draw: P(R) = 8/18 = 4/9 = 0.444
2nd draw (no replacement, means already one Red is picked up, so the sample space has been reduced): P(another one more RED) = 7/17 =0.411

The newest phone by Samsung finally came out and costs $499. You were one of the first people in line to buy it so you got a 15%
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$460.20

Step-by-step explanation:

499*15% = 74.85 (total discount price)

499-74.85 = 424.15 (deduct discount from original price)

424.15*8.5% = 36.05275 (total tax from price)

424.15+36.05275 = 460.20275 (add tax to discounted price)
