There can be 6 teams with 12 boys and 14 girls. The GCF (greatest common factor) 84 and 72 is 6. 72/6=12 84/6=14

I hope this helps!

Estimate a 15% tip on a dinner bill of $31.81 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars

Hatshy [7]

Answer: $36.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 15% to decimals. You can do this by dividing by 100.

$\frac{15}{100}=0.15$

Now calculate 15% of 31.81 (0.15*31.81)

$4.77

if you add it to the bill you get 31.81+4.77=36.58

it says round to the nearest ten dollars=36.60

The utility industry had 428.5 thousand jobs in 2010 and is expected to decline at an average rate of 3 thousand jobs per year f

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Utility's percent Change from 2010 to 2020 = 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Jobs available at the utility industry in 2010= 428.5 thousand

Average rate of decline = 3 thousand

Years between 2010 and 2020

Utility's percent Change from 2010 to 2020 = Total change in jobs / jobs in 2010 × 100

Total change in jobs:

There are 10 years between 2010 and 2020

Jobs decline at an average of 3 thousand per year

Total change in jobs= 10 years × 3 thousand

= 30 thousand

Utility's percent Change from 2010 to 2020 = Total change in jobs / jobs in 2010 × 100

= 30 thousand / 428.5 thousand × 100

= 0.07 × 100

= 7%

Utility's percent Change from 2010 to 2020 = 7%

2 taps A and B can fill a swimming pool in 3 hours. If turned on alone, it takes tap A 5 hours less than tap B to fill the same

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let tap B fills the pool alone in the time = x hours

So in one hour part of pool will be filled = $\frac{1}{x}$

Another tap A when turned on, it takes time to fill the pool = x-5 hours

So in one hour part of the same pool filled = $\frac{1}{x-5}$

Now both the taps A and B are turned on then time taken to fill the pool = 3 hours.

Part of the pool filled in one hour by both the taps = $\frac{1}{3}$

Now we form an equation

Part of pool filled in one hour by tap A + Part of pool filled in one hour by tap B = Part of pool filled in one hour by both the taps when turned on

$\frac{1}{(x-5)}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-5+1}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{x-4}{x(x-5)}=\frac{1}{3}$

3(x - 4) = x(x - 5)

x² -5x = 3x - 12

x² - 8x + 12 = 0

x² - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

x(x - 6) - 2(x - 6) = 0

(x -2)(x - 6) = 0

x = 2, 6 hours

We will take higher value of x as x = 6 hours for tap B.

Time taken by tap A = 6 - 4 = 2 hours.

Therefore, Tap A will take 2 hours and tap B will take 6 hours to fill the tank when turned on alone.

If for two non-zero vectors a,b : ∣a+b∣=∣a−b∣ then angle between them is:______a. 0b. 45c. 60d. 90

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

$90^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two non zero vectors, $\vec a, \vec b$ .

Let the angle between the two vectors = $\theta$

Given that:

$|\vec a+\vec b|=|\vec a-\vec b|$

Let us have a look at the formula for magnitude of addition of two vectors:

$|\vec x+\vec y|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+2xycos\theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the two vectors.

formula for magnitude of subtraction of two vectors:

$|\vec x-\vec y|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2-2xycos\theta}$

As per the given condition:

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2abcos\theta}=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2abcos\theta}$

Squaring both sides:

$a^2+b^2+2abcos\theta=a^2+b^2-2abcos\theta\\\Rightarrow 2abcos\theta=-2abcos\theta\\\Rightarrow cos\theta = -cos\theta\\\Rightarrow 2cos\theta = 0\\\Rightarrow cos\theta = 0\\\Rightarrow \theta = 90^\circ$

So, the angle between the two vectors is: $90^\circ$
