Answer:

a)2/7

b)41/48

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<u>-Question A-</u>

1) Rephrase the problem to look like this:

3/7*28/15*5/14 <-- when dividing fractions you actually multiply by the reciprocal (opposite)

2) Multiply across the above phrase:

420/1470

3) Simplify your fraction:

2/7

There is nothing else to be done with 2/7 and thus it is your final answer.

<u></u>

<u>-Question B-</u>

1) Get the denominator of all 3 fractions to the same Least Common Denominator (48):

42/48 + 3/48 - 4/48

2) Do the arithmetic in the phrase above:

41/48

41/48 cannot be simplified and thus is your final answer

ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS!!!! 25 POINTS
AveGali [126]

Answer:

FD≈25.94.. rounded = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

FD²=12²+(4x+11)²

FD²=144+16x²+88x+121

FD²=265+16x²+88x

also

FD²=12²+(13x-16)²

FD²=144+169x²-416x+256

FD²=400+169x²-416x

thus

265+16x²+88x = 400+169x²-416x

16x²-169x²+88x+416x+265-400 = 0

-153x²+504x-135 = 0

we will solve this quadratic equation by suing the quadratic formula to find x

x=(-504±sqrt(504²-4(-153)(-135)))/2(-153)

x=(-504±\sqrt{504^{2}-4(-153)(-135) })/2(-153)

x=(-504±\sqrt{254016-82620 })/-306

x=(-504±\sqrt{171396})/-306

x=(-504±414)/-306

x=(-504+414)/-306 and x=(-504-414)/-306

x=-90/-306 and x=-918/-306

x= 5/17 , 3

substituting x by the roots we found

check for 5/17:

4x+11 = 4×(5/17)+11 = (20/17)+11 = (20+187)/17 = 207/17 ≈ 12.17..

13x-16 = 13×(5/17)-16 = (65/17)-16 = (65-272)/17 = -207/17 ≈ -12.17..

check for 3:

4x+11 = 4×3+11 = 12+11 = 23

13x-16 = 13×3-16 = 23

thus 3 is the right root

therfore

ED=23 and CD=23

FD²=FE²+ED² or FD²=FC²+CD²

FD²=12²+23²

FD²=144+529

FD²=673

FD=√673

FD≈25.94.. rounded = 26

Machine A produces bolts at a uniform rate of 120 every 40 seconds, and Machine B produces bolts at a uniform rate of 100 every
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In order to answer this question, first we need to know how many bolts per second are produced by each machine, this can be known by dividing the number of bolts by the time it takes.

For machine A:

A = \frac{120 bolts}{40 s}= 3 \frac{bolts}{s}

For machine B:

B = \frac{100 bolts}{20 s}= 5 \frac{bolts}{s}

So, if the two machines run simultaneously, we will have a rate of prodcution of bolts equal to the sum of both:

A+B=(3+5)\frac{bolts}{s}=8\frac{bolts}{s}

Now, we need to know how much time it will take to producee 200 bolts, to find this out we need to divide the amount of bolts by the production rate:

t = \frac{bolts}{ProductionRate}= \frac{200 bolts}{8 \frac{bolts}{s} }

The <em>bolts</em> unit cancell each other and we are left with <em>seconds</em>

t = \frac{200}{8} s = 25 s

So it will take 25 seconds to produce 200 bolts with machine A and B running simultaneously.

Greetings!
