<span>Rate of pump A: 1/8 of a pool per hour
Rate of pump B: 1/9 of a pool per hour
Combined rate: 1/8+1/9 = 17/72 +1/9 = 25/72
So if they work together, the two pumps have a combined rate of 25/72 of a pool per hour (i.e in one hour, the two pumps will empty 25/72 of the pool)
</span><span>But we want to empty ONE pool (not 25/72 of one). So we need to multiply 25/72 by some number x to get 1.
</span>
<span>Now solve for x
x=2.88
</span><span>It will take the two pumps 2.88 hours to empty the pool.
2 hours 52 minutes 50 seconds</span>
Answer:
x=35
Step-by-step explanation:
When a is parallel to b, the two angles will add to 180
x+ 3x+40=180
Combine like terms
4x+40 =180
Subtract 40 from each side
4x= 180-40
4x= 140
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 140/4
x=35
Answer:
A. Independent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
The prediction of a variable can be done if we have the independent variable. Which is the required variable that is used to determine the value of the other variable. The variable to be predicted is dependent on the required variable.
An independent variable can also be referred to as a predictor variable. When its value is known, it can be used to obtain the dependent variable.
