Answer:

The faster computer can do the job in 20 mins on it own.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken by slower computer to do job on its own =30 minutes.

Time taken by both the computers to do the job = 12 mins.

We need to find the Time taken by faster computer to do job on its own.

Solution:

Let the the Time taken by faster computer to do job on its own be 'x'.

Now we know that;

Rate to complete the job is equal to number of jobs divided by time taken to complete the job.

Rate of faster computer = \frac1x

Rate of slower computer = \frac{1}{30}

Rate of both the computers = \frac{1}{12}

Now we can say that;

Rate of both the computers is equal to sum of Rate of faster computer and Rate of slower computer.

framing in equation form we get;

\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{30}

Now we will take the LCM to make the denominator common we get;

\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{12\times5}-\frac{2}{30\times2}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{5}{60}-\frac{2}{60}

Now denominator are same so we will solve the numerator.

\frac1x=\frac{5-2}{60}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{3}{60}\\\\\frac1x=\frac{1}{20}\\\\x=20\ mins

Hence The faster computer can do the job in 20 mins on it own.

A bus makes a stop at 2:30, letting off 16 people and letting on 3. The bus makes another stop ten minutes later to let off 2 mo
liq [111]

Answer:

10 people lesser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, it 15 people  get off but 9 people get picked up, hence losing 6 people.  If 4 more people get off, it has then lost 10 people total.

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop

Assume that the total passengers on the bus before 2:30 was x

Now, at 2:30:

15 passengers got off and 9 got on.

This means that:

number of passengers = x - 15 + 9 

number of passengers = x -6

10 minutes later:

4 passengers got off the bus

This means that:

number of passengers = (x-6) - 4

number of passengers = x - 10

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop.

Which properties of equality justify steps b and d?
7nadin3 [17]
<span>C. Subtraction Property of Equality; Multiplication Property of Equality

For the first one, you are subtracting 7 from both sides (step b), to help isolate the y

since you are both subtracting, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign) it is <em>Subtraction Property of Equality.</em>

For the second one, you are multiplying 2 from both sides (step d), to help isolate the y

since you are multiplying, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign), it is <em>Multiplication Property of Equality</em>

Reason is the value of the first 5 ten times as great as the value of the second 5 in 5045?
vovikov84 [41]

It is not. In the decimal system each column to the right is valued at powers of ten starting at zero and increasing as you move to the left...in a four digit number...the columns are valued at...

10^3, 10^2, 10^1, 10^0 which corresponds to...

1000, 1000, 10, 1 in this case the first digit is equal to

5(1000)=5000 the value of the last digit is 5(1)=5

So the first 5 is 1000 times as great as the second 5...

Hope this helps!
