Answer:

The answer to your question is  a) C + J + S = 80

                                                     b) C = J + 5

                                                      c) S = 45 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To represent the number of hours that they work together, just add the variables and equal them to 80.

            Carlito  +  Juan  +  Sara  = 80

               C + J + S = 80                                 Equation l

b) Juan worked 5 hours more than Carlito

              Juan = Carlito + 5

                  J = C  + 5                                     Equation ll

c) Hours worked by Sara

                  S = 3J                                          Equation lll

                  C = J - 5

Substitute equation ll and lll in equation l to find J

                J - 5 + J + 3J = 80

                5J = 80 - 5

                5J = 75

                  J = 75/5

                  J = 15

-Find S

                S = 3(15)

                S = 45 hours

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent the number of hours that Carlito worked.

Let J represent the number of hours that Juan worked.

Let S represent the number of hours that Sara worked.

1) The equation that would represent the fact that altogether they worked 80 hours is

C + J + S = 80

2) The equation that would represent the fact that Juan worked 5 more hours than Carlito is

J = C + 5

3) Sara worked 3 times as many hours as Juan. It means that

S = 3J

Substituting J = C + 5 into S = 3J, it becomes

S = 3(C + 5)

S = 3C + 15

Substituting S = 3C + 15 and

J = C + 5 into C + J + S = 80, it becomes

C + C + 5 + 3C + 15 = 80

C + C + 3C + 5 + 15 = 80

5C + 20 = 80

5C = 80 - 20

5C = 60

C = 60/5

C = 12

S = 3C + 15 = 3 × 12 + 15

S = 51 hours

Sara worked for 51 hours

Find the missing lengths: LK=15 and KH=9, find KI and HI.
Luda [366]

Answer:

KI=11.25 and HI=6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

According to Pythagoras Theorem:

base^2+perpendicular^2=hypotenuse^2

Use Pythagoras in triangle HKL

LH^2+KH^2=LK^2

(LH)^2+9^2=15^2

(LH)^2+81=225

(LH)^2=144

Taking square root on both sides.

LH=12

Let length of HI be x.

LI = 12+x

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔKLI,

(KI)^2+15^2=(12+x)^2

(KI)^2+225=x^2+24x+144

(KI)^2=x^2+24x+144-225

(KI)^2=x^2+24x-81...(1)

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔHKI,

(KI)^2=x^2+9^2

(KI)^2=x^2+81...(2)

From (1) and (2) we get

x^2+81=x^2+24x-81

24x=162

x=\dfrac{162}{24}=6.75

Hence, the measure of HI is 6.75 units.

Substitute x=6.75 in equation (2).

(KI)^2=(6.75)^2+81

(KI)^2=126.5625

Taking square root on both sides.

KI=\sqrt{126.5625}

KI=11.25

Hence, the measure of KI is 11.25 units.

How can you use four rods that measure 2 cm 5 cm 7 cm 9 cm to measure a length of one
vichka [17]
<span>If you put the 9cm and 2cm rods together end-on-end, the new length is 11cm. Now if you repeat this with the 7cm and 5cm rods that new length is 12cm, so the difference between the two is now 1 cm. It does not seem very practical to walk around measuring items using the rods like this, so you could then make a small rod or use a strip of paper equal to the difference (1cm) as a standard measuring tool.</span>
