Answer:

  • first mechanic: $105/hour
  • second mechanic: $55/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...

  20r +5(160-r) = 2375

  15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800

  r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.

  160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate

The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.

Answer: the rate charged per hour by the first mechanic is 105 per hour.

the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic is 55 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate charged per hour by the first mechanic.

Let y represent the rate charged per hour by the second mechanic.

The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of 2375. This means that

20x + 5y = 2375 - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the sum of the two rates was 160 per hour, it means that

x + y = 160

Substituting x = 160 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

20(160 - y) + 5y = 2375

3200 - 20y + 5y = 2375

- 20y + 5y = 2375 - 3200

- 15y = - 825

y = - 825/ - 15

y = 55

x = 160 - y = 160 - 55

x = 105

The planet Mars has a radius of 3400 km. What is the volume of Mars?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.646×10¹¹ km³.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

Radius (r) = 3400 km

Volume (V) =.?

The shape of a planet is spherical in nature. Thus, we shall apply the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere to obtain the volume of Planet Mar as illustrated below:

Radius (r) = 3400 km

Pi (π) = 3.14

Volume (V) =.?

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³

V = 4/3 × 3.14 × (3400)³

V = 4/3 × 3.14 × 3.9304×10¹⁰

V = 1.646×10¹¹ km³

From the calculations made above, the volume of Planet Mar is 1.646×10¹¹ km³
