Answer: it will take them 2 hours to now 7 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes Hank 40 minutes (2/3 hours) to mow a lawn. This means that his unit rate of working is 1/40

Penny can mow the same size lawn in 30 minutes (1/2 hour). This means that his unit rate of working is 1/30

If they form a small lawn care company, they will be working together and simultaneously at a faster combined rate. Since their rates are additive.

If they finish one lawn in t hours, working together, then their combined working rate for one lawn is 1/t. Therefore

1/40 + 1/30 = 1/t

1/t = 7/120

t = 120/7 = 17.14

They will now one lawn in 17.14 minutes

For 7 lawns, it will take them 17.14 × 7 = 119.98 minutes. It is approximately 120 minutes.

We will convert from minutes to hour.

60 minutes = 1 hour

120 minutes = 120/60 = 2 hours

Which graph represents the piece wise- defined function f(x) =​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

<h2>The fourth graph, from left to right, is the correct answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given piecewise function is

f(x)=\left \{ {{-x+4 \ ; \ 0\leq x

Notice that the domain of the function specifies that, from zero to three, the function represents a decreasing (because the variable is negative) straight line. When the function is defined from 3 to infinite, the function is a constant of 5.

<em>So, the right graph must shows first a decreasing line, where the initial point is solid and the final point is empty, as the fourth fraph (from left to right), then it must show a horizontal line with an initial point solid.</em>

<em />

Therefore, the fourth graph, from left to right, is the correct answer.
