Answer:
I THINK it's A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: H = 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation: Since a triangle's area is b times h/2, we know that two times 48 is 96, therefore we can opposite the equation so 12 is the base times the height (8 cm) is 96 divided by 2, there's your answer.
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
It is basically saying that you need to write 3 1/2 as ounces and pounds but in whole numbers. The answer is 3 pounds and 8 ounces.
