Answer:

It will take 3.214 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>It is given that, the conveyor belt transports 300 cans in 5 mins and the smaller belt transports 300 cans in 9 minutes.</em>

Thus , the speed of conveyor belt is,

= \frac{300}{5} = 60 cans per minute

and of smaller belt is,

=  \frac{300}{9} = \frac{100}{3} cans per minute

Thus, when both are used together,

<em>conveyor belt will transport (60)(t) cans and smaller belt will transport ( \frac{100}{3})(t) cans per minute.</em>

Thus the equation becomes,

300 = (60)(t) + (\frac{100}{3})(t) = (\frac{280}{3})(t)

t = \frac{(300)(3)}{280} = \frac{45}{14} = 3.214 minutes

Triangle Numbers are generated by creating trianglesof progressively larger size. Example include pinswhen bowling or balls when
iris [78.8K]

for the first term:

n= 1 there is 1 item

n=2 there are 2+1 = 3 items

n = 3 there are 3+2+1 = 3+2 = 6 items

n = 4 there are 4+3+2+1 = 4+6 = 10 items

We are adding the "n" term each time

n = 5 10+5 = 15

n= 6 15+6 = 21

n = 7 21+7 = 28

n = 8 28+8 = 36

There would be 36 items in the 8th step

Using the diagram below, what is the measure of ZE?
matrenka [14]

The measure of angle E is (b) 50°

<h3>How to determine the angle measure?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • ΔCAB is similar to ΔCED
  • AB and ED are parallel

The similarity of the triangles implies that:

  • angle C = angle C
  • angle A = angle E
  • angle B = angle D

From the figure, we have:

angle A = 50

Substitute angle A = 50 in angle A = angle E

angle E = 50

Hence, the measure of angle E is (b) 50°

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000. giselle earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than
Alborosie
The condo costs $163,000, earns $2,986 per month, spends no more than 25% of her income, then if she pays $33,000 for the down payment, the remaining amount would be $130,000. Since 20% of the initial cost is only $32,600, she can adjust her down payment to 20.25% of the initial cost so that the annual payments would be less.
