Hi there!
Yes, if the two fractions are less than one, their sum can be greater than one. Take the example of 3/4 and 3/4. It is less than 1, but has a sum if 1 1/2.
However, their sum cannot be greater than 2. For that to happen, there would have to be a sum of at least 1 and 1, which are not fractions.

Hope this helps :)

Their sum can be greater than two. There is nothing that states that they couldn't be. All it states it that the two factions sums are less than 1. I hoped this helps

A homeowner is installing a swimming pool. You have been asked to install a circuit to operate a 600-watt underwater light and a
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The loads in the circuit are continuous duty, so the circuit can only loaded to 80% of its current rating.

Calculate 80% current rating of the circuit breaker.

Icb = [ 80/100] (20 A)

     =  (O.8) (20 A )

     = 16 A

Now we assume that the value of supply voltage is 120 V

Now we will calculate current flows via under water light which will be taken as  Load 1

<em>Ii = </em>500 W/120 V

  = 4.167 A

Current via the circulating pump which will be taken as Load 2 IS 8.5 A

<em>I = </em>load1 + load 2

<em>    = 4.167 A + 8.5 A</em>

<em>   = 12.67 A</em>

The total current in the circuit obtained which is less than the circuit breaker rating current. Therefore, the power can be operated for both the loads.

Given that U is the centroid of triangle OPQ find PS.
o-na [289]

Answer:

PS=5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1

If U is the centroid, then

3.6:x+0.8=2:1

We use ratio to obtain;

\frac{3.6}{x+0.8}=\frac{2}{1}

Cross multiply;

3.6=2(x+0.8)

Expand;

3.6=2x+1.6

Group similar terms;

3.6-1.6=2x

2=2x

x=1

PS=PU+US

PS=3.6+1+0.8

PS=3.6+1+0.8

PS=5.4
