Answer: Area = 6m²

              Smaller number = 16

              Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m                                2) w = x + 1 m

     l = x + 5  m                               l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>

5     40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

Sixteen construction workers can finish cementing a floor of a building in 3 hours. On a certain day, only 5 construction workers are available for the job. How long will it take the 5 construction workers to do the cementing job?

workers                      hours

    16                              3

     5                               x

↑                                          ↓              inversely proportional

<u> 5 </u> = <u> 3 </u>

16      x

5x = 16*3

5x = 48

x = 48/5

x = 9.6 h

Machine A produces bolts at a uniform rate of 120 every 40 seconds, and Machine B produces bolts at a uniform rate of 100 every
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In order to answer this question, first we need to know how many bolts per second are produced by each machine, this can be known by dividing the number of bolts by the time it takes.

For machine A:

A = \frac{120 bolts}{40 s}= 3 \frac{bolts}{s}

For machine B:

B = \frac{100 bolts}{20 s}= 5 \frac{bolts}{s}

So, if the two machines run simultaneously, we will have a rate of prodcution of bolts equal to the sum of both:

A+B=(3+5)\frac{bolts}{s}=8\frac{bolts}{s}

Now, we need to know how much time it will take to producee 200 bolts, to find this out we need to divide the amount of bolts by the production rate:

t = \frac{bolts}{ProductionRate}= \frac{200 bolts}{8 \frac{bolts}{s} }

The <em>bolts</em> unit cancell each other and we are left with <em>seconds</em>

t = \frac{200}{8} s = 25 s

So it will take 25 seconds to produce 200 bolts with machine A and B running simultaneously.

Greetings!

20liters of mixture contain milk nad water in the ratio 5:3 if 4liters of the mixture are replaced by 4 liters of milk find the
Finger [1]

Answer:

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

Step-by-step explanation:

milk/water=5/3

milk +water=5+3=8

ratio of milk=5/8  and ratio of water=3/8

if 4 liter removed from mixture then: 20=4= 16 liter

the amount of milk in 16 liter=16*5/8=10 liter of milk

the amount of water in 16 liter=16*3/8= 6 liter

add 4 liter of milk to the mixture: 10+4=14 liter of milk and 6 liter of water

the new ratio milk/water is  14:6  or 7:3

What is the slope of the line that contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2)
ra1l [238]

The slope of the line that contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2) is 0

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the slope of the line

The line contains the point (13,-2) and (3,-2)

<em><u>The slope of line is given as:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where, "m" is the slope of line

Here given points are (13,-2) and (3,-2)

(x_1, y_1) = (13, -2)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (3, -2)

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get,</u></em>

m = \frac{-2-(-2)}{3-13}\\\\m = \frac{-2+2}{3-13}\\\\m = 0

Thus the slope of line is 0
