A little Algebra, and we're home free!

We are given R = 20 and r2 = 75. We need to find r1.

The formula is 1/R = 1/r1 + 1/r2. Plug-in:
1/20 = 1/r1 + 1/75
1/20 - 1/75 = 1/r1
0.0366 = 1/r1
r1 = 1/0.03666
r1 = 27.272

Our answer is r1 = 27 ohms.

Answer:

The correct answer is c. 27\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

- The first step is to get the r_1 variable for alone on one side.

\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r_2} to subtract to the left side.

\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{r_1}

  • Pass the term \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2} to divide to the right side and pass the term r_1 to multiply to the left side.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r_2}}

- The second step is to replace the values of r and r_2 into the previous expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{75}}

- The third step is to perform the operations to simplify the expression.

r_1=\frac{1}{0.05-0.01333}

r_1=\frac{1}{0.03666}

r_1=27.2727\Omega

As it is necessary to round the answer, the value of r_1 is 27\Omega.

Thus, the correct answer is c. 27\Omega

One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.

Rebecca’s boss pays her time and a half for overtime work. If her regular wage is $13.50 per hour, what is her overtime rate?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: 20.25

Step-by-step explanation: Rebecca can expect to be making her regular 13.50 an hour, however once time and a half hits she’s looking at taking her 13.50 and dividing it by 2. So 13.50 divided by two is 6.75. You then take that 6.75 and add it on top of her regular 13.50 hourly. Putting you at 20.25 for time and a half.
