Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

Answer:

I think it's 1/6 for the cube and 1/2 for the coin. so it would be 2/8 which would be 1/4 simplified, so in decimal form the probability is .25

Jarvis invested some money at 6% interest. Jarvis also invested $58 more than 3 times that amount at 9%. How much is invested at
DerKrebs [107]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • $3309 at 6%
  • $9985 at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent amounts invested at 6% and 9%, respectively.

  y = 3x +58 . . . . . . . the amount invested at 9%

  0.06x +0.09y = 1097.19 . . . . . . total interest earned

__

Substituting for y, we have ...

  0.06x +0.09(3x +58) = 1097.19

  0.33x + 5.22 = 1097.19 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  0.33x = 1091.97 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5.22

  x = 3309 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.33

  y = 3(3309) +58 = 9985

$3309 is invested at 6%; $9985 is invested at 9%.
