Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours

Two skateboarders start a race at the same time skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second skateboarder B tra
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative speed can play a major role in creating distance between two bodies. If the relative speed between two bodies is 0, then both the bodies are moving in the same direction with a similar speed. Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

Skateboarder A travels at a steady rate of 15 feet per second.

Skateboarder B travels at a steady rate of 22 feet per second.

We need to determine that after 4 minutes, how much farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

The formula for finding the distance travelled by anybody is represented below

Time is given that is 4 minutes which means 240 seconds.

Thus,

Distance travelled by skateboarder A

Distance travelled by skateboarder B.

Therefore, the separation of the distance between both the skateboarders is 5280 - 3600 = 1680.

Thus, After 4 minutes, 1680 feet farther will Skateboarder B have traveled.

Which of the following side lengths can form a triangle?
Margaret [11]

Okay, so my last answer was deleted because I didnt show any work.


According to the rule,


a+b>c

c+b>a

c+a>b


so...


2+3=6...6<7

21+23=44...44+44

12+36=48...48<53

14+17=31...31>30


Since answer D is the only answer that fullfills the rule a+b>c, it is the correct answer
