Answer:

  204/325

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work this a couple of ways. We expect you are probably expected to use trig identities.

  cos(A) = √(1 -sin²(A)) = 24/25

  sin(B) = √(1 -cos²(B)) = 12/13

cos(A -B) = cos(A)cos(B) +sin(A)sin(B) = (24/25)(5/13) +(7/25)(12/13)

  = (24·5 +7·12)/325

cos(A -B) = 204/325

__

The other way to work this is using inverse trig functions. It is necessary to carry the full calculator precision if you want an exact answer.

  cos(A -B) = cos(arcsin(7/25) -arccos(5/13)) = cos(16.2602° -67.3801°)

  = cos(-51.1199°) ≈ 0.62769230 . . . . (last 6 digits repeating)

The denominators of 25 and 13 suggest that the desired fraction will have a denominator of 25·13 = 325, so we can multiply this value by 325 to see what we get.

  325·cos(A-B) = 204

so, the exact value is ...

  cos(A -B) = 204/325

With each gallon you need 11 gallons with 2 parts red 9 parts yellow and since 11x4= 44 you need to do this 4 times
4x2(red)= 8
4x9(yellow)=36
36+8=44
basically 8 gallons of red
i hope this made sense

At a toy factory, toy cars are produced on an assembly line. It takes 8.216 seconds to attach the wheels. It takes 3.652 seconds
AlexFokin [52]
From what I think;

8.216secs - 1 wheel; 3.652- 1 hood
for I toy car with a wheel and hood the total time is 8.216+ 3.652 = 11.868secs
let x secs be the total time taken to put a wheel and hood for 42 cars
x secs = 42 cars × the total time for one car
x secs = 42× 11.868
x secs= 498.456 secs
