Answer:

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the pool be x. Since pipe A filled the  pool in 6 hours, the rate of pipe A = x / 6.

Let the rate of pipe b be y, Hose A filled the pool alone for the first 2 hours, this means that the volume filled in the 2 hours is x/6(2 hours) and the two hoses, working together, then finished filling the pool in another 3 hours for the 3 hours the volume filled is x/6(3) + y(3).  hence the total time is:

x/6(2) + x/6(3) + y(3) = x

x/3 + x/2 + 3y = x

Multiply through by 6:

2x + 3x + 18y = 6x

5x + 18y = 6x

18y = x

y = x/18

The rate of pipe B is x/18, this means it would take pipe B 18 hours to full the pool alone

How much is the number 727731000 in percent form
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

72773100000%

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". So, to convert 727731000 to percent we rewrite 727731000 in terms of "per 100" or over 100.

Multiply 727731000 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1, we are only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

7277310001×100100=72773100000100

72773100000/100 is 72773100000 over 100 and means 72773100000 per 100. 72773100000 "per 100" means 72773100000 "percent" or 72773100000%

Therefore, we have shown that

727731000 = 72773100000%

Simplified Conversion:

Multiply by 100 and add the percent sign %

727731000 × 100 becomes 72773100000%

Shortcut Conversion:

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add the percent sign %

727731000 becomes 72773100000%

100 points if you show how you got the answer!
ludmilkaskok [199]

First, simplify each one.

9.98 x 10^6 = 9980000

7.3 x 10^7 = 73000000

Next, subtract the freight from the aircraft

73000000 - 9980000 = 63020000

Round the decimal point to the first significant digit, and place the amount of place values the decimal point moved to the left as a power sign, over 10.

63020000 = 6.302 x 10^7

6.302 x 10^7 is your answer

hope this helps
