I really need to know how long it takes the large pipe on its own

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andreyy894 years ago
7 0

s = hours it takes the small pipe on its own.


L = hours it takes the large pipe on its own.


we know the small pipe can do it in 11 hours total, so s = 11, so, how much of the whole job has the small done in 1 hour only?


well, if it takes 11 hours to do the whole thing, in 1 hour it has done only 1/11 of the whole job.


we know both pipes working together can do it in 6 hours flat. So in 1 hour only, both of them have done only 1/6 of the whole thing.


in that 1 hour, how much has the large one done? well, it has only done 1/L of the job.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{how much has it been done by both in 1 hour}}{\stackrel{\stackrel{small}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{s}}+\stackrel{\stackrel{large}{rate}}{\cfrac{1}{L}}~~=~~\stackrel{job}{\cfrac{1}{6}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{11}+\cfrac{1}{L}=\cfrac{1}{6}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{66L}}{6L+66=11L}\implies 66=5L \\\\\\ \cfrac{66}{5}=L\implies 13\frac{1}{5}=L\impliedby \textit{13 hours and 12 minutes}


and you can round that up as needed.

B A pair of fair dice is rolled, If the sum of the spots is 7, determine the probability that one di showed a 2.
finlep [7]

Answer:

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A pair of fair dice is rolled, If the sum of the spots is 7.

To find : Determine the probability that one die showed a 2 ?

Solution :

A pair of fair dice is rolled the outcomes are,

(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6)

(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6)

(3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6)

(4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6)

(5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5) (5, 6)

(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6)

The sum of the spots is 7 i.e. (4,3),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(1,6),(6,1).

Total possibility = 6

Favorable outcome is that one die showed a 2 i.e. (2,5),(5,2)= 2

The probability that one die showed a 2 is given by,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcome}}

\text{Probability}=\frac{2}{6}

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{3}
