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

8/7=x/5 what is the value of x round to the nearest tenth
faust18 [17]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5.7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{7}  =  \frac{x}{5}

To find x first cross multiply

We have

7x = 8 × 5

7x = 40

Divide both sides by 7

That's

\frac{7x}{7}  =  \frac{40}{7}

x =  \frac{40}{7}

x = 5.7142

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 5.7 to the nearest tenth</h3>

Hope this helps you

A scientist testing the effects of a chemical on apple yield (apples/acre) sprays an orchard with the chemical. A second orchard
JulsSmile [24]

Following are the dependent variables:

<em>1. The amount of water that each orchard receives.</em>

<em>2. The species of trees in the orchard.</em>

Reason:

The exercise scientist is looking for the effects of a chemical between an apple crop to which it is administered and another to which it is not, 4 options are presented, of which it is essential to count as a variable the amount of water each Orchard and tree species in the orchard, since they can generate alterations in the results, the other two variables of the exercise such as number of apples and size of the orchards are not significant and their variations do not affect the scientist's objective.

(03.05 LC) The graph of a function f(x) is shown below: graph of line segment going through ordered pairs negative 3, negative 4
Aleks [24]

Answer:

−3 < x ≤ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of x-values.

In this graph, the open circle at (-3, -4) means the segment goes back up to this point but this point is not part of the segment itself.

The closed circle at (1, 2) means this is the endpoint and part of the segment.

This means the x-values range from almost -3 up to and including 1; this gives us the inequality

−3 < x ≤ 1
