Answer: it will take them 28 minutes to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first pipe alone can fill the tank in 84 minutes. This means that the rate at which the first pipe fills the tank per minute is 1/84

The second pipe can fill the tank in 42 minutes by itself. This means that the rate at which the second pipe fills the tank per minute is 1/42

If they work together, they would work simultaneously and their individual rates are additive. This means that their combined rate of filling the tank would be

1/84 + 1/42

Assuming it takes t hours for both pipes to fill the tank working together, the working rate per minute would be 1/t. Therefore,

1/84 + 1/42 = 1/t

3/84 = 1/t

t = 84/3

t = 28 minutes

Answer:

28 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The aquarium tank can hold 6300 litres of water.

First pipe can fill the tank in 84 minutes.

So in 1 minute it fills \[\frac{6300}{84}\] litres of water.

That is, in 1 minute it fills \[75\] litres of water.

Second pipe can fill the tank in 42 minutes.

So in 1 minute it fills \[\frac{6300}{42}\] litres of water.

That is, in 1 minute it fills \[150\] litres of water.

When the two pipes are working together they are adding \[75+ 150 = 225\] litres of water per minutes to the tank.

So to fill the tank of capacity 6300 litre it will take \[\frac{6300}{225}\] minutes.

In other words, it will take 28 minutes to fill the complete tank.

Find -3a2 - b3 + 3c2 - 2b3 if a = 2, b = -1, and c = 3
Studentka2010 [4]
If you would like to solve - 3 * a^2 - b^3 + 3 * c^2 - 2 * b^3, if a = 2, b = -1, c = 3, you can calculate this using the following steps:

a = 2, b = -1, c = 3
- 3 * a^2 - b^3 + 3 * c^2 - 2 * b^3 = - 3 * 2^2 - (-1)^3 + 3 * 3^2 - 2 * (-1)^3 = - 3 * 4 - (-1) + 3 * 9 - 2 * (-1) = - 12 + 1 + 27 + 2 = 18

The correct result would be 18.

I really need the answers to these questions so can anybody tell me the answers
loris [4]
It's really important that you aim to understand how to do these problems yourself, rather than "pay" others to do them for you.  Why not ask for "directions" or "guidance," instead of for "answers?"

This is a tricky question because it's not required that you have the full 12 beads on the string in every case.  You could, for example, have 6 beads, 2 of which would be red, making the ratio of red beads 2 to 6, or 1 to 3.  

What about 3 red beads in 9?
What about 1 red bead in 3?
Do these "answers" satisfy the requirement that the ratio of red beads to all beads is 1:3?

Answer:

Tauren has 78 keychains

James has 34 keychains

Marcus has 68 keychains

Yahya has 74 keychains

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by doing this:

If Tauren has 78 keychains then its gonna be left like that.

If everybody else has an average of 68 keychains then divide 68 by 2 to get half of what marcus has which equals 34.

Then add the amount of James and marcus keychains which is 68 plus 34 which equals 102, the subtract the 28 because it says Yayha has 28 fewer keychains and that equals 74.
