If Tom, George and Mario work together, they can paint a 600 ft2 room in 4 hours. When only George and Mario work together, it t

akes 8 hours to paint the room. Tom and George, working together, take 6 hours to paint the room. How long would it take Tom to paint the room alone? Hint: Write the system of equations shown below in augmented form, then solve the system for T (Tom's painting rate). Next, use the equation Painted Area = Painting Rate× Time and solve for Time to determine how long it would take Tom to paint the room alone.
4(T+G+M)=600
8(0+G+M)=600
6T+G+0)=600

We call:

T = Tom's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
G = George's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
M = Mario's paiting rate ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )

As the first statement says that they can work together, then:

T + G + M = Painting rate working together, that is the surface area they paint per hour.

Since the problem says that they last four hours painting a 600ft^{2} room, then we need to multiply the amount of hours times the painting rate that is equal the surface area of the room, so:

4(T + G + M) = 600

Applying a similar reasoning, the George and Mario's painting rate is:

0 + G + M 
Note that 0 implies that Tom didn't work in this case.

As they last eight hours painting the room, then:

8(0 + G + M) = 600

The same reasoning is applied to Tom and George working together. In this case 0 implies that Mario didn't work, so:

6(T + G + 0) = 600

We have a system of linear equations in three variables T, G, M:

<span>4(T+G+M)=600
8(0+G+M)=600
6(T+G+0)=600
</span>
Solving:

(1) T + G + M = 150
(2) G + M = 75
(3) T + G = 100

Substitute (3) in (1):
100 + M = 150 ∴ M = 50

Replace M in (2):
G + 50 = 75 ∴ G = 25

Substitute G in (3)
T + 25 = 100 ∴ T = 75

Then, the painting rates are:
Tom = 75 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
George = 25 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )
Mario = 50 ( \frac{ ft^{2} }{h} )

<span>Solving for Time to determine how long it would take Tom to paint the room alone:
</span>
<span>Painted Area = Painting Rate×Time, so:

</span>Time Tom =  \frac{Painted Area}{Painting Rate (T)}
Time Tom = \frac{600}{75} = 8 hours

Christian randomly selects students from his grade to rate a math test as easy, moderate, or difficult. Of the students he surve
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

C.

84

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions.

From the sample:

11 + 3 = 14 out of 13 + 11 + 3 = 27 would rate the test something other than easy.

Out of 162:

Applying the rule of three:

14 - 27

x - 162

Applying cross multiplication:

27x = 14*162

x = \frac{14*162}{27}

x = 84

Thus the correct answer is given by option C.

Given an acceleration vector, initial velocity u0,v0,w0 , and initial position x0,y0,z0 , find the velocity and position vectors
dsp73

Answer:

Thus we find that velocity vector at time t is

(5t+15, 5t^2/2, 4t^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

given that acceleration vector is a funciton of time and at time t

a(t) = (5,5t, 8t)

v(t) can be obtained by integrating a(t)

v(t) = (5t, 5t^2/2, 4t^2)+(u_0,v_0,w_0)\\=(5t+15, 5t^2/2, 4t^2)

Thus we use the fact that acceleration is derivative of velocity and velocity is antiderivative of acceleration.

The arbitary constant normally used for integration C is here C vector = initial velocity (u0,v0,w0)

Position vector can be obtained by integrating v(t)

Thus we find that velocity vector at time t is

(5t+15, 5t^2/2, 4t^2)

Flura [38]

Answer:

9 \frac{1}{3}  {cm}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

v = whl \\  = 2 \times 2 \times   \frac{7}{3}  \\  = 4 \times  \frac{7}{ 3}  \\  =  \frac{28}{3}   {cm}^{3}  = 9 \frac{1}{3}  {cm}^{3}
