Answer:

3.73 hours

Explanation:

In 1 hour, Lisa does 1/7th of the order while Bill does 1/8th of the order in an hour. To find out how long it will take them to fill the order, we have to:

Step 1:

Add the rate of both Lisa and Bill together

1/7 + 1/8

Step 2:

Since both denominators of the fractions are different, you have to find the least common multiple of 7 and 8

7·8= 56 8·7= 56

which is 56.

Step 3:

Then, you have to multiply the numerator of 1/7 with 8 and the numerator of 1/8 with 7.

1·8= 8 1·7= 7

The fractions would now have equal denominators:

Lisa: 8/56 Bill: 7/56

Step 4:

Now, you can add them together

8/56 + 7/56

which equals to 15/56. Both Lisa and Bill together completes 15/56th of the order in 1 hour.

Step 5:

15/56 is not the final answer as it is the RATE of them working together. To find how long it will take them total to complete the order, you must divide 56 with 15.

56/15

which is 3.73 hours in decimal form (rounded).

PLEASE HELP 50 POINTS 100 students who are in 10th or 11th grade were asked if they participated in at least one extracurricular

Marina86 [1]

There are 2 variables in this problem. One variable is the class number and other variable is the participation in extracurricular activities. Each variable has further two categories. There are two classes: Class 10 and 11. And students either participate or do not participate in extracurricular activities, which makes 2 categories.

The best approach to solve this question is to build a table and start entering the given information in it. When the given data has been entered fill the rest on basis of the data you have.

18 students from grade 11 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means the rest students i.e. 22 students from grade 11 do not participate in Extracurricular activities.

32 students from grade 10 participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. This means total students who participate in at least one Extracurricular activities are 18 + 32 = 50 students.

The rest 50 students do not participate in at least one Extracurricular activities. From these 22 are from class 11. So the rest i.e. 28 are from class 10.

The thousand islands are located along the border between new york and canada. the adventure club wants to place a stone marker

Nikitich [7]

Using proportions, it is found that the number of islands that each member will have to visit is given by:

c. 19 islands.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there are 684 islands, and 36 members, hence the number of islands per member is given by:

n = 684/36 = 19.

Which means that option c is correct.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x – 4y = - 3 that passes through the point (-5,2).

kolezko [41]

Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is $m_{1}$ and the gradient of the second line is $m_{2}$ , if the lines are perpendicular, them

$m_{1}$ x $m_{2}$ = -1 , that is

$m_{1}$ = $\frac{-1}{m_{2} }$

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then $m_{1}$ = 5/4

Which means that $m_{2}$ = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form to find the equation of the line;

y - $y_{1}$ = m ( x - $y_{1}$ )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10

\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-9-0]^2+[-12-(-11)]^2}

d=\sqrt{(-9-0)^2+(-12+11)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-1)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{82}$
