Let t represent the number of minutes it will take the faster computer to do the job on its own. It means that the rate at which it does the job per minute is 1/t

If it takes the slower computer 30 minutes to do the job on its own. It means that the rate at which it does the job on its own per minute is 1/30

By working together, they would work simultaneously and their individual rates are additive. Working together it takes two computers 10 minutes to send out a company's email. It means that the rate at which both computers work together per minute is 1/10 Therefore,

1/t + 1/30 = 1/10

Cross multiplying by 30x, it becomes

3x = x + 30

3x - x = 30

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15 minutes

Identify the percent of change as an increase or decrease. Then find the percent of change, rounding to the nearest tenth of a p

kap26 [50]

Answer:

-60% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

60 is the old value and 24 is the new value.

percent change = $\frac{new - old}{|old|}$ x 100%

so for this problem, you can substitute the values given in the formula:

percent change = $\frac{60-24}{|60|}$ x 100% = $\frac{-36}{60}$ x 100% =

-60% (decrease)

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the given figure will be inside the smaller square?

Aliun [14]

I have to interpret that:

1) the smaller square has side length = 3 cm

2) the bigger square has side length = 5 cm

3) the smaller square is completely inside the bigger square.

4) the points cannot be outside the bigger square

Under those assumptions the probability that a point is inside the smaller square is

P (inside the smaller square) = area of the smaller square / area of the bigger square

P (inside the smaller squere) = (3cm)^2 / (5cm)^2 = 9 / 25

Answer: 9 / 25
