Answer:

12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes 4 minutes to fill the bathtub with both taps on and stopper is in then for each minute the 2 taps can fill up to a quarter (1/4) of the tub:

Similarly, it takes 6 minutes to drain the tub with both taps off and the stopper is out. This means for each minute the stopper can drain one sixth (1/6) of the tub.

Therefore, when both taps are on and the stopper is out, then for each minutes, the amount of water remaining in the tub is the water flowing in minus the water draining out

\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{12}tub

So for each minute, one twelveth of the tub is filled, for the tub to be completely filled in, it would take 12 minutes

Find the perimeter of the figure​
irinina [24]

Answer:

114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We split the figure into two rectangles. The long triangles perimeter is equal to 30 + 30 + 9 + 9 = 78. Then, the top triangle is equal to 9 + 9 + 9 + 9, which is equal to 36. Then to find the perimeter of the entire figure, we add these two shapes together, 78 + 36, which gets us to our final answer, 114 ft.

John needs to buy at least 100 tiles to redecorate his bathroom. The tiles are sold in packs of 6.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: n\geq17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n= Number of packs John needs.

Tiles in 1 pack = 6

Tiles in <em>n</em> pack = <em>6n</em>

If he needs at least 100 tiles.

then

6n ≥ 100

\Rightarrow\ n\geq100\\\\\Rightarrow\ n\geq\dfrac{100}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ n\geq\dfrac{50}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ n\geq16.67\\\\\Rightarrow\ n\geq 17

The required inequality: n\geq17
