It will take 30 hours to fill the pool if both pipes were accidentally left open

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, One pipe can fill a swimming pool in 10 hours,  

While another pipe can empty the pool in 15 hours.  

We have to find how long would it take to fill the pool if both pipes were accidentally left open?

Now, work done by 1st pipe in 1 hour = \frac{1}{10}

And, work done by 2nd pipe in 1 hour = \frac{-1}{15}

Here negative sign represents "empties the pipe"

<em> Together work done in 1 hour = work done by 1st pipe in 1 hour + work done by 2nd pipe in 1 hour</em>

=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{-1}{15}=\frac{3-2}{30}=\frac{1}{30}

Now, time required to fill tank together =\frac{1}{\text {work done in } 1 \text { hour }}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{30}}=30 \text { hours. }

Hence, together they will fill the tank in 30 hours.

The amount of money you have is $ 20864.521

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Given that you invested $15,000 dollars for 11 years at 3% annual interest compounded continuously.

To find: total amount of money

<em><u>The compound interest formula for compounded continously is given as:</u></em>

A = p e^{rt}

Where "p" is the principal

"r" is the rate of interest

"t" is the number of years

Here in this problem, p = 15000

t = 11 years

r = 3 \% = \frac{3}{100} = 0.03

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula we get,</u></em>

A = 15000e^{0.03 \times 11}\\\\A = 15000e^{0.33}\\\\A = 15000 \times 1.390968\\\\A = 20864.521

Thus the amount of money you have is $ 20864.521

A box contains five cards lettered A, A, B, C, D. If one card is selected at random from the box and NOT replaced, what is the p
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

There is a 1/10 chance you draw an A and then D    10% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Probablitiy of drawing a D is 1/5, If the card is not replaced, then there are only 4 cards left. Probability of drawing an A is 2/4 (1/2)

1/5 x 2/4

1 x 2 = 2         2/2 =  1

5 x 4= 20     20/2 = 10

All real numbers y greater than or equal to 12?
serious [3.7K]
It is very important to read the question very minutely and then it would be easy to reach a logically correct solution. It is important to note that "y" is greater than or equal to 12 and y is considered as all real numbers. Then we can mathematically represent this situation as 
y <span>≥ 12</span>

Ber [7]

Answer:

The value of n is 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

{25}^{2n + 1}  = 625

log_{25}(625)  = 2n + 1

2 = 2n + 1

2n = 1

n =  \frac{1}{2}
