We have a work problem here. We can use our knowledge on ratio and proportion in order to set up and equation to determine what is being asked. We do as follows:

1 job / 3 hours for both = 1 job / 8 hours for charlie + 1 / x hours for sam alone

Therefore, the equation would be

1/3 = 1/8 + 1/x

A mixture of chlorine and water contains a total of 60 gallons. There are 30 gallons of pure Chlorine in the mixture. (I) what p
ser-zykov [4K]

60 gallons of the whole thing, chlorine and water mixed.


one may note that 30 is half of 60, namely 50% of 60.


if there are 30 gallons of chlorine, 60 - 30, the leftover is 30 gallons, and that must be water.


so 50% is chlorine, and the other 50% is water.

A bag contains green marbles and red marbles, 36 in total. The number of green marbles is 1 more than 4 times the number of red
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marble = 36

Let red marbles be X

Then green marble is 4X + 1

And 4X + 1 + X = 36

5X = 36 - 1

5X = 35

X = 35/5 = 7

So, green marbles = 4X + 1

= 4(7) + 1

= 29

Part A: Explain why we do not measure the rate at which water flows out through a shower head in cubic meters per second? In you
a_sh-v [17]
We have that the stream of water is coming out in small quantities; at most liters at a time since the stream has a width of around 10cm at most times. Hence, cubic meters per second is too large a unit to measure the small quantity of water going through the shower.
We have that we can calculate the rate if we know the surface area of the flow and the speed of the water. If one multiplies those 2 together, one gets the rate because the speed of water is pretty much how much a front of water is moving per second; if you multiply it by its surface area, you get how much a volume of water is moving.
