<em><u>Answer</u></em>

5 hours

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The two working together can finish a job in

\frac{20}{9}  \: hours

Also, working alone, one machine would take one hour longer than the other to complete the same job.

Let the slower machine working alone take x hours. Then the faster machine takes x-1 hours to complete the same task working alone.

Their combined rate in terms of x is

\frac{1}{x}    +  \frac{1}{x - 1}

This should be equal to 20/9 hours.

\frac{1}{x}  +  \frac{1}{x - 1}  =  \frac{9}{20}

Multiply through by;

20x(x - 1) \times \frac{1}{x}  +20x(x - 1) \times   \frac{1}{x - 1}  =  20x(x - 1) \times \frac{9}{0}

20(x - 1)  +20x = 9x(x - 1)

20x - 20+20x = 9{x}^{2}  - 9x

9{x}^{2}  - 9x - 20x - 20x + 20= 0

9{x}^{2}  - 49x  + 20= 0

Factor to get:

(9x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

x =  \frac{4}{9}  \: or \: x = 5

It is not feasible for the slower machine to complete the work alone in 4/9 hours if the two will finish in 20/9 hours.

Therefore the slower finish in 5 hours.

Apakah ada yang bisa menjelaskan potongan source code ini?
GarryVolchara [31]

This code attempts to fuse two strings together. So,

fuse("Apple", "Banana")

would return "ABpapnlaen a"

However, there are a couple of things wrong with this code:

- The for loop is incomplete (probably a copy paste error)

- It is unclear from the code if the array jawaban will overflow if kata1 and kata2 are large (it probably will)

- Biggest problem: the jawaban array is declared on the stack, which means it will be cleaned up when the function returns. So the caller of this function will reference unallocated memory! This is a huge bug!!

A. 0

Explanation:

RAID level zero refers to disk arrays with striping at the level of blocks, but without any redundancy.

RAID ZERO (disk striping) : This is the process of dividing a body of data into blocks and also spreading the data blocks across multiple storage devices, such as hard disks or solid-state drives (SSDs), in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) group.

14. Emelia is very concerned about safety and has conducted a study to determine how many bike helmets were replaced at each loc
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Known Variables A = max Daily Rentals

X = Damaged helmets %

lets find the formula to calculate Helmets per location :taking 1st row as an example.

412 = B - (B*13/100)

412 = (100B-13B)/100

412*100 = 87B

B= 412*100/87

Hence, the generic formula becomes : B= A*100/(100-X)

Applying the same formula for each row and then using ROUND function of excel to round off the digits

=ROUND(number,digits) where number is the number you would like to round off and the digits is the number of decimal digits for it to round off. Since we want natural numbers in our example, we will be using digits as 0.

Explanation:

See attached pictures also.
