The Chang family and the Davis family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Chang family's sprin

kler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Davis family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 60 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1775 L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

The Chang family = 25 hours, The Davis  family = 35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is as follow

The Chang family = 15L/h

The Davis family = 40L/h

Total time for both sprinklers = 60 hours

Total water output = 1775 L

From this information we can derive a set of simultaneous equations to help us find our answer.

We need to find the following information

The time for the Chang family, taken as t1

The time for the Davis family, taken as t2

From this we derive the following set of equations

1) t1 + t2 = 60 hours ----- <em>(This is derived from the total time for both sprinklers)</em>

2) 15(t1) + 40(t2) = 1775 ---- <em>(This is derived from total water output based on time for each sprinkler)</em>

<em />

Solving these simultaneously we get following equation

t1 = 60 - t2 - <em>equation 1</em>

15(t1) + 40(t2) = 1775 - <em>equation 2</em>

15 (60 - t2) + 40(t2) = 1775 - <em>equation 3 (combining equation 1 & equation 2)</em>

       900 - 15(t2) + 40(t2) = 1775   -------- solving the equation 3

            25(t2) = 1775 - 900

                 <u>t2 = 35</u>

                 <u>t1 = 25</u>

Among all right circular cones with a slant height of 24​, what are the dimensions​ (radius and​ height) that maximize the volum
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

5571.99

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem.

The theorem indicates that,

r^2+h^2=24^2 \\r^2+h^2=576\\r^2=576-h^2

Once this is defined, we proceed to define the volume of a cone,

v=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

Substituting,

v=\frac{1}{3} \pi (576-h^2)h\\v=\frac{1}{3} \pi (576h-h^3)

We need to find the maximum height, so we proceed to calculate h, by means of its derivative and equalizing 0,

\frac{dv}{dh} = \frac{1}{3} \pi (576-3h^2)

\frac{dv}{dh} = 0 then \rightarrow \frac{1}{3}\pi(576-3h^2)=0

h_1=-8\sqrt{3}\\h_2=8\sqrt{3}

<em>We select the positiv value.</em>

We have then,

r^2 = 576-(8\sqrt3)^2 = 384\\r=\sqrt{384}

We can now calculate the maximum volume,

V_{max}= \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (\sqrt{384})^2 (8\sqrt{3}) = 5571.99

Solve 5t= 150 by using an inverse operation
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

T=30

Step-by-step explanation:

1) inverse mean opposite, so they want us to solve this equation using the opposite operation

So we can see here that 5 is being multiplied with t, so we should perform the opposite operation, division.

So

5t=150

(divide both sides by 5)

T=30

Hope this helps

If a concrete mix contains 1-1/2 cubic feet of gravel, 1/2 cubic foot of water,
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "50%".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Gravel,

= (1-\frac{1}{2} )

Water,

= \frac{1}{2}

Cement,

= 1

Sand,

= 2

Now,

The total mixture will be:

= Gravel+Water+Cement+Sand

By substituting the values, we get

= (1-\frac{1}{2} )+\frac{1}{2} +1+2

= \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} +1+2

= 4 \ cubic \ feet

hence,

The percentage of sand will be:

= \frac{Sand}{Total}\times 100

= \frac{2}{4}\times 100

= 50%

. Find the angles thetaθ ​(with respect to the positive​ x-axis) associated with the directions of maximum​ increase, maximum​ d
shtirl [24]

Answer:

  • maximum increase: 90°
  • maximum decrease: -90°
  • zero change: 0°

Step-by-step explanation:

A line or ray pointing straight upward will be pointing in the direction of maximum increase. It will make an angle of 90° with respect to the x-axis.

A line or ray pointing straight downward will be pointing in the direction of maximum decrease. It will make an angle of -90° with respect to the x-axis.

A horizontal line will be associated with zero change. It makes an angle of 0° with respect to the x-axis.
