Answer:

60 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Working together, it takes two different sized hoses 20 minutes to fill a small swimming pool.

takes 30 minutes for the larger hose to fill the swimming pool by itself

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

<u>To find LCM of 20 and 30</u>

LCM (20, 30) = 60

<u>To find the efficiency </u>

Let x be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

and y be the efficiency to fill the swimming pool by larger hose

x = 60/30 =2

x + y = 60 /20 = 3

Therefore efficiency of y = (x + y) - x =3 - 2 = 1

so, time taken to fill the swimming pool by small hose = 60/1 = 60 minutes

Ellie has m muffins she splits them evenly among ten boxes. Write an expression that shows how many muffins are in each box
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

m/10?

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that it is m/10, since you are dividing the number of muffins by 10 boxes, but this is worded kind of weirdly. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

A lighthouse keeper has a 10 degrees angle of depression between the horizontal light beam and the line of sight from the ship.
Andrei [34K]
107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}
plus in values, we know.
tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75
