Answer:

It would take them 6.667 minutes to paint 50 square feet together.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a classic work problem.  If Sam can do the job in 10 minutes, she can get done 1/10 of the job in one minute.  If you can do the job in 5 minutes, you can 1/5 of the job done in one minute.  To find out how many minutes it will take them together to paint 25 square feet, set the addition of their times equal to 1/x:

\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{x}

x is how long it takes them to get the job done together.  Find the common denominator and multiply it through be everything to get rid of the denominators altogether.  That denominator is 10x:

(10x)\frac{1}{10}+(10x)\frac{1}{5}=(10x)\frac{1}{x}

Simplify to get the simple equation x + 2x = 10 and 3x = 10.  That means that x=3 1/3.  That's how long it takes to do 25 square feet.  Double that time for 50 square feet.

#17. Use the number line below to model 6: 3/4.#18. What is the quotient 6: 3/4?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

18. Let's start by finding the ratio, since this will make it easier to model it on the number line.

We can write 6 as

\frac{6}{1},

so

\frac{6}{1}\div\frac{3}{4}=\frac{\frac{6}{1}}{\frac{3}{4}}\text{.}

In order to do a division of fractions, we multiply both ends of the operation and put the result in the numerator, and then we multiply the two numbers in the middle and put them in the denominator:

\frac{\frac{6}{1}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{6\cdot4}{1\cdot3}=\frac{24}{3}=8.

In other words, the quotient is 8.

17. Now that we know the result of the operation, we simply mark the 8 on the number line:

Find a normal vector n to the plane z−5(x−2)=2(8−y)
Hitman42 [59]

A normal vector is the set of coefficients of x, y, and z when the equation is written in standard (or general) form.

Subtracting the left side, we have

... 2(8 -y) -z +5(x -2) = 0

... 16 -2y -z +5x -10 = 0

... 5x -2y -z +6 = 0 . . . . . general form

A normal vector is (5, -2, -1).
