Answer:

We can think of it as the zeros after the decimal point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents always move the number to the right putting the decimal in front of it.

One watering system needs about three times as long to complete a job as another warning system when both systems operate at the

algol13

Answer:

One watering system requires 36 minutes to complete the job alone while another watering system requires 12 minutes to complete the job alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Both the system can complete the job = 9 minutes

We need find the time required by each system to do the job.

Solution:

Let the time required by another watering system to complete the job be 'x' mins.

Now given:

One watering system needs about three times as long to complete a job as another watering system.

Time required by one watering system = $3x$

Rate to complete the job by another watering system = $\frac{1}{x}\ job/min$

Rate to complete the job by One watering system = $\frac{1}{3x}\ job/min$

Rate at which both can complete the job = $\frac{1}{9}\ job/min$

So we can say that;

Rate at which both can complete the job is equal to sum of Rate to complete the job by another watering system and Rate to complete the job by One watering system.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3x}=\frac19$

Now taking LCM to make the denominator common we get;

$\frac{1\times3}{x\times 3}+\frac{1\times1}{3x\times1}=\frac19\\\\\frac{3}{3x}+\frac{1}{3x}=\frac19\\\\\frac{3+1}{3x}=\frac{1}{9}\\\\\frac{4}{3x}=\frac{1}{9}$

By Cross multiplication we get;

$4\times9 =3x\\\\3x =36$

Dividing both side by 3 we get;

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{36}{3}\\\\x=12\ min$

Time required by One watering system = $3x =3\times 12 =36\ min$

Hence One watering system requires 36 minutes to complete the job alone while another watering system requires 12 minutes to complete the job alone.

18 and 19 please ;D!!

Answer:

18.

∠2 = 40

∠3 = 140

∠4 =140

19.

∠1 = 134

∠2 = 46

∠3 = 134

∠4 = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

18. Using vertical angle theorem, 1 is equal to 2 and 3 is equal to 4. Therefore 2 is equal to 40 degrees. Then since 2 and 3 are supplementary adjacent angles or a linear pair, they equal 180 when combined. 180-40 equals 140. 3 and 4 are also vertical angles so 3 = 4 and they are both 140.

19. Angles 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 are vertical angles because they are directly across from each other and share the same bisectors. You can use what you know about special angle pairs to find the measure of each angle because since 1 & 3 are vertical angles and 2 & 4 are also vertical angles, 1 is equal to 3 and 2 is equal to 4. So, since the angle formed at the right is angle 2, we can confirm that angle 4 is equal to it and therefore angles 2 and 4 are 46 degrees. Then since angles 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are linear pairs, we can say that angle 1 + angle 2 is equal to 180 and the same for angles 3 & 4. So subtract 180 - 46 and you get 134. Therefore angles 1 and 3 are equal to 134 degrees.
