Answer:

10.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Working together, two pumps can drain a certain pool in  6  hours. If it takes the older pump  14  hours to drain the pool by itself, how long will it take the newer pump to drain the pool on its own?

Let t represent time taken by newer pump in hours to drain the pool on its own.

So part of pool drained by newer pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{t}.

We have been given that it takes the older pump 14 hours to drain the pool by itself, so part of pool drained by older pump in one hour would be \frac{1}{14}.

Part of pool drained by both pumps working together in one hour would be \frac{1}{6}.

Now, we will equate the sum of part of pool emptied by both pumps with  \frac{1}{6} and solve for t as:

\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{6}

\frac{1}{14}\times 42t+\frac{1}{t}\times 42t=\frac{1}{6}\times 42t

3t+42=7t

7t=3t+42

7t-3t=3t-3t+42

4t=42

\frac{4t}{4}=\frac{42}{4}

t=10.5

Therefore, it will take 10.5 hours for the newer pump to drain the pool on its own.

A figure has vertices at L(3,3), M(2,4), and N(−1,0). After a transformation, the image of the figure has vertices at L′(2,−5),
alexandr402 [8]

The transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5

And the image and preimage can be seen in the graph below.

<h3>How to identify the preimage and image?</h3>

First, the original vertices are:

L(3, 3)

M(2, 4)

N(-1, 0)

3 vertices means that our figure is a triangle.

Now, the transformed vertices are:

L'(2, -5)

M'(3, -4)

N'(-1, 1)

And the graph of both sets can be seen below.

Now we can try to identify the transformation.

Now, notice that all the points (L, M, N, L', N', M') are equidistant to the horizontal line x = -0.5

This is a clear implication that the transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5

If the diameter of a circle changes from 18 cm to 6 cm, how will the circumference change?
olga_2 [115]
The circumference when the diameter is 18 = 18pi

The circumference when the diameter is 6 = 6pi

18pi/6pi=3

The circumference will become a third of what it was.

Hope this helps!
