One student can paint a wall in 16 minutes. Another student can paint the same wall in 24 minutes. Working together, about how l
Mazyrski [523]
Let's look at work rates per minute.

Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.

The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.

1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x

1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x

3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x

5/48 = 1/x

x = 48/5 = 9.6

Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four
gregori [183]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = -5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -5x/2 + 750/2

y = -2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.  In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x(-2.5x+375)

A = -2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = -2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex.  First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = -b/2a

x = -375/2(-2.5) = -375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = -2.5x² + 375x

A = -2.5(75)² + 375(75) = -2.5(5625) + 28125 = -14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5

Plz do this question if you did I will very appreciated you. plz.​

The area formula of a circle is r^{2} × π.

With that being said, we can solve both problems!

Starting with part A:

-The radius we know is 21cm. From there, we can substitute in our formula with the new value.

21^{2} x π

From there, we can square our radius:

(21 x 21) x π

(441) x π

And finally, we can multiply by pi to get our answer.

(441) x π

1385.44236023

Which rounded to the nearest tenth is 1385.4. Therefore, the area of the porthole is 1385.4 centimetres.

The second part can be followed with the same process, hopefully you understand the concept enough to where you're comfortable solving problems like this on your own. Feel free to reach out if you have any further trouble!

<em>Hope this helped! :)</em>
