Answer:

If both computers are working together, it will take 24 minutes to do the job

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There are two computers.The slower computer can send all the company's email in 60 minutes.

The faster computer can complete the same job in 40 minutes

<u>To find the LCM of 40 and 60</u>

LCM (40, 60) = 120

<u>To find efficiency of 2 computers</u>

Let x be the efficiency of faster computer and y be the efficiency of faster computer

x = 120/40 = 3

y = 120/60 = 2

then, x + y = 3 + 2 = 5

Therefore efficiency of both the computer work together = x + y =5

<u>To find the time taken to work both the computer together</u>

time = 120/5 = 24 minutes

Is 8/5 proportional to 24/15 ?
DiKsa [7]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is, yes, it is

Given:

\frac{8}{5} and \frac{24}{15}

To see if they are equal, we can use cross products (see below for information about this, if you don't know what it is). Let us assume they are equal. This would mean that:

8*15=24*5

Let's solve it and see if it is true:

8*15=24*5

120=120

Therefore, they <em>are </em>proportional.

<u>Cross products</u>

WORD DEFINITION:

Given two fractions, you can take the numerator of the first fraction multiplied by the denominator of the second fraction and it should equal the denominator of the first fraction multiplied by the numerator of the second fraction.

ALGEBRAIC DEFINITION:

Given two fractions, \frac{a}{b} and \frac{c}{d}, a*d <em>should </em>equal to b*c

Hope it helps, and have a terrificly amazing day!

HELP PLEASE 15PTS + BRAINLIEST
irakobra [83]

Answer:


Number of points, x, Number of segments, y

x: 2, 3, 4, 5, ... N,. ...

y: 1, 3, 6, 10, ... (N-1)(N)/2, ...


Step-by-step explanation:

Adding Nth point, there are N-1 new segments,

and (sum over {i = 1 to N-1} of i) total segments. As Gauss knew when he was c.10 yo, the sum is (N-1)(N)/2.
