The rate for the first is 1 job / 35 minutes and for the second is 1 job / 15 minutes.  So combined we get

r = 1/35 + 1/15

3×5×7r = 3 + 7 = 10

r = 10/(105) jobs per minute

We're interested in 1/r

1/r = 105/10 = 10.5 minutes per job

Answer: 10.5 minutes

The recommended angle for a firefighting ladder is 75 degrees. When a 110-foot ladder is put up against a building at this angle
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: 114.37 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we model this situation as a right triangle, where the hypotenuse is the length of the ladder (110 ft), the opposite leg is the height the ladder will reach h, and the adjacent leg is the distance between the base of the ladder and the building (28 ft); we have two options:

1) Using trigonometric functions, since we are given the angle \theta=75\°

2) Using the Pithagorean Theorem

Any of the options will give a similiar result. So, let's choose the Pithagorean Theorem:

(hypotenuse)^{2}=(opposite-leg)^{2}+(adjacent-leg)^{2}

(110 ft)^{2}=(h)^{2}+(28 ft)^{2}

Isolating h:

h=\sqrt{(110 ft)^{2}-(28 ft)^{2}}

h=106.37 ft

Adding to this height the extra height of 8 ft (since the base of the ladder is at this distance above the ground, perhaps held by a firefighter truck):

h=106.37 ft+8 ft=114.37 ft This is the height the ladder will reach

How to complex fractions
I am Lyosha [343]
To do complex fractions, do whats on the bottom and top and then divide the bottom and top fractions and you should get your answer. For example in a equation like 1/2 + 1/2/ 1/4 + 1/4, you would have to solve the equations in the denominator and numerator. So 1/2 + 1/2 is equal to a whole, or 1. So now that we've solved the numerator's equation, the problem is now, 1/1/4 + 1/4. Now I solve for the denominator. 1/4 + 1/4 is equal to 2/4. So now my equation is 1/2/4. Finally I divide 1 by 2/4, which will give me 2. Hope this helps you.
