<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.

That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.

The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.

_____

The first hose's rate of doing work is ...

... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour

If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...

... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)

... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour

... h = 1/6 vat/hour

so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.

A rhombus has coordinates A(-6, 3), B(-4, 4), C(-2, 3), and D(-4, 2). What are the coordinates of rhombus A′B′C′D′ after a 90° c
Liula [17]

We are given that the coordinates of the vertices of the rhombus are:
<span><span>A(-6, 3)
B(-4, 4)
C(-2, 3)
D(-4, 2)

To solve this problem, we must plot this on a graphing paper or graphing calculator to clearly see the movement of the graph. If we transform this by doing a counterclockwise rotation, then the result would be:
</span>A(-6, -3)</span>
B(-4, -4)
C(-2, -3)
D(-4, -2)

 

And the final transformation is translation by 3 units left and 2 units down. This can still be clearly solved by actually graphing the plot. The result of this transformation would be:

<span>A′(6, -8)
B′(7, -6)
C′(6, -4)
D′(5, -6)</span>

Becky says that when she simplifies the following expression, the value is 6 less than her age. What is Becky's age? (7+11) - 8÷
Hitman42 [59]
(7+11) is 18, (8/2) is 4, 18-4 is 14! If this expression is 6 less than her age, she would be 20!
