Work in the rates  / minute 
wilma:-  in 120 minutes she mows 1 lawn
             so in 1 minute she mows 1/120 lawn

similarly, Rock mows 1/80 lawn in 1 minute

working together  1/120 + 1/80  = 1/x  where x is number of minutes working together

1/20 + 1/80 =  1/48  

so 1/x = 1/48

x = 48

answer is 48 minutes

The O! Natural Company sells a juice in 1 gallon bottles. The current retail price of the juice is $3.50 for 1 gallon. In order
cluponka [151]

Answer:

After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the price of the current retailer, in dollars, is:

3.50

After the discount, the new price, in dollars, is:

3.20

We want to know what percentage of the original price is the final price.

To find out, we must divide the final price between the initial price and then multiply the result by 100%

So:

\frac{
3.20}{3.50}*100% = 0.914. * 100% = 91.4%

After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.

The discount percentage you are going to pay is 100% -91.4% = 8.6% of the initial price

The height of the sail on a boat is 7 feet less than 3 times the length of its base. If the
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Base=8 feet

Height=17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Base=x

Height=3x-7

Area=68 square feet

Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height

68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)

Cross product

68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)

136 = 3x^2 - 7x

3x^2 - 7x - 136=0

Using quadratic formula

x= -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a

= -(-7) +or- √(-7)^2 - (4)(3)(-136) / 2(3)

= 7 +or- √49 - (-1632) / 6

= 7 +or- √49+1632) / 6

= 7 +or- √1681 / 6

=7 +or- 41 /6

x= 7+41 / 6 or 7-41 / 6

=48/6 or -34/6

=8 or -17/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Base=x

Height=3x-7

Area=68 square feet

Area of the sail boat=1/2 * base * height

68 = 1/2 * x * (3x-7)

Cross product

68 * 2 =(1) * (x) * (3x-7)

136 = 3x^2 - 7x

3x^2 - 7x - 136=0

Base of the boat can't be a negative value

Therefore,

Base = x = 8 feet

Height= 3x-7

=3(8)-7

=24-7

=17 feet

B. Determine the values of a and b so that f is continuous.<br><br> Please help!
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

\lim_{x\to 2}+f(x) = \lim_{x\to 2}+ (ax^2-bx+3) = 4a-2b+3\\\\ \to  4a-2b+3 = 4\\\\  \therefore \ \ 4a-2b = 1\\\\

The one-sided limits of F(x) at x = 3 must be equivalent for f(x) to be continuous at x = 3.

\to \lim_{x\to 3}- f(x) = \lim_{x\to 3}- (ax^2-bx+3) = 9a-3b+3\\\\ \to \lim_{x\to 3}+ f(x) = \lim_{x\to 3}+ (2x-a+b) = 6-a+b\\\\  

So,

\to 9a-3b+3 = 6-a+b\\\\\therefore\\ \to 10a -4b = 3

\to 4a - 2b = 1......(a)\\\to 10a - 4b = 3.......(b)\\

In equation a multiply the by -2 and then add in the equation b:

\to -8a + 4b = -2\\\to 10a - 4b = 3\\ \to 2a = 1\\\\ \to   a = \frac{1}{2}\\\\ \to \ 4(\frac{1}{2}) - 2b = 1\\\\ \to 2 - 2b = 1\\\\ \to   -2b = -1\\\\ \to b = \frac{1}{2}  

So, the value of a \ and \ b= \frac{1}{2}
