You want to divide 45 by 5.

45/5= 9

She used 9 yards of yarn for her knitting project.

I hope this helps!

One pipe can empty a tank 5 times faster than another pipe can fill the tank. Starting with a full tank, if both pipes are turne

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

40 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the slower pipe can fill x amount of the tank in one hour. It adds x amount to the tank every hour. Therefore, we can say, for the slower pipe,

1 hour = x amount

Then, the faster pipe empties the tank 5 times faster than the slower pipe fills it, so it removes 5 times the amount that the smaller pipe puts in, so for the faster pipe,

1 hour = -5x amount (negative to symbolize removing).

For the problem at hand, the tank starts at full, or 100%=1. It ends empty, or at 0% = 0. After 10 hours, if we only account for the slower pipe, we add x amount to the tank every hour, so we add 10 times that total, resulting in

1 + 10 * x as the ending result if we don't include the faster pipe. Then, the faster pipe removes 5x every hour, so in 10 hours, it removes 50x, so we have

1+10 * x - 50 * x as the final amount of stuff in the tank, which is equal to 0. Therefore, we have

1 + 10 * x - 50 * x = 0

1 - 40 * x = 0

add 40*x to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

1 = 40 * x

divide both sides by 40 to isolate x

x= 0.025

Therefore, the slower pipe adds 0.025, or 1/40 = 2.5% to the tank every hour. We want to figure out how long it would take for the slower pipe to fill up an empty tank, or turn it from 0% to 100% full.

Because the slower pipe adds 2.5% of the tank every hour, we can say that over y hours, it fills up

2.5% * y amount of the tank. We want to figure out how many hours it would take to make it 100% (we need to add 100% of the tank in the problem), so we can say

2.5% * y = 100%

divide both sides by 2.5% to isolate y

100%/2.5% = y = 40

The mother's age is 8 times her son's age. After 6 years, the age of the mother will be 9/2 times her son's age. The present age

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

son = 6 mother = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother = m

son = s

m = 8s

m+6 = 9/2 * (s+6)

2(8s + 6) = 9(s +6)

16s + 12 = 9s + 54

16s - 9s = 54 - 12

7s = 42

s = 42/7 = 6 years old

so the mother is 8s = 8*6= 48 years old

Points Pand Q lie in plane A. How many lines contain P

jeka94

Answer:

The correct answer is :

1. Line PQ (One line PQ).

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this question is to draw the plane A with the points P and Q lying on it.

We know that given two different points there is only one line that contains this two different points.

Let's analyze each option.

''2. Lines PQ and QP''

This option is wrong because there aren't two different lines. In fact it is only one line that can be named line PQ or line QP.

''3. The 2 lines PQ and QP plus another line that does not lie in plane A.''

This option is assuming that exist three lines that contain P and Q. This option is also wrong.

''1. Line PQ''

This option is correct. It will be clarify with the drawing I will attach.

''We can't name them all!''

This option is assuming that exist infinite lines that contain P and Q. This option is wrong.

In the drawing I call the line that contains P and Q as line L.

Given that P and Q lie in plane A necessarily the line L must lie on the plane A.

They need to have common denomenators so change the fractions to 12/15 - 5/15 which is 7/15.
