Answer:

At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us

Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.

Let's list the parameters we have:

Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min

Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall

Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall

since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min

1 ft = 12 in

Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6

Time (t) = 24 mins

How many milliliters of 0.30% sugar solution must you add to 75mL of 4% sugar solution to get a 0.50% sugar solution?
hammer [34]
Based on the given data above, the equation below has been generated,
(X mL)(0.003) + 75 mL (0.04) = 0.005 (75 + X); X being the amount in mL of the sugar solution, by further simplification of the generated equation, it can be said that 1312.5 mL of 0.30% sugar solution should be added to 75 mL of 4% solution to come up with a 0.5% sugar solution.

NEED RN, WORTH 20! <br> What is the value of x?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = 5.625

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an expression</u>

<u />\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{7.5}

<u>Step 2:  Cross Multiply</u>

<u />\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{7.5}

4 * x = 7.5 * 3

4x = 22.5

<u>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 4</u>

<u />4x / 4 = 22.5 / 4

x = 5.625

Answer:  x = 5.625

If Owen and Eliza had a combined taxable income of $68,200 and filed their federal income tax return with the Married Filing Joi
tangare [24]

Answer:

9425

D

Step-by-step explanation:

They are in the third tax bracket down. That means that their joint income is over 67900 but less than 137050.

The base rate is 9350. But they are 68200 - 67900 = 300  over the minimum.

So 25% of that 300 is also to be paid to the government 25/100 * 300 = 75 dollars

Now they must pay 9350 + 75 = 9425

Answer D
