Answer:

Given:

Cold water faucet fills the sink in 4 minutes.

Both faucets fills the sink in 3 minutes.

Let us assume that "t" be the time it takes hot water faucet in order to fill the sink.

Therefore;

<em>Rate for hot water faucet fills the sink = \frac{1}{time} = \frac{1}{t} </em>

<em>Rate at which cold water faucet fills the sink = \frac{1}{time} = \frac{1}{4} </em>

When both faucets are used , the rate at which they fill the sink is given as :

<em>\frac{1}{t} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{3} </em>

On solving the above equation, we get :

<em>4t = 3t +12</em>

<em>∴ t = 12\ minutes</em>

<em>Therefore, it takes 12 minutes for the hot water faucet to fill the sink.</em>

Adam is writing his first letter to his pen-pal in Guadeloupe. Write the missing adjectives according to the clues in parenthese
krok68 [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the lack of a letter (with missing words that need to be filled in).

The question asks to give synonyms and antonyms to adjectives in a letter.

A synonym is a word that is similar to the word given (eg. small, tiny, minuscule, mousy).

An antonym on the other hand, is a word that means the opposite to the word given (small, big; finite, infinite; tall, short).

An adjective is simply a word used to describe a noun (any of the synonyms or antonyms mentioned above are adjectives).

Why would diplomatic ties be important with adjacent nations? How are they useful?
OleMash [197]

The function of diplomacy, negotiating the maintenance of relations with another State or body, making agreements and defending a nation's interest in bilateral, regional and multilateral spheres; inform their States of the existing conditions and the evolution of events in other countries around the globe;  represent your country at international events; as well as promoting foreign trade and the image of the represented state.

Diplomatic agents and heads of state need to make decisions at all times which, presumably, will commit them to doing something, but not all of them will be strategic decisions.

The practice of diplomacy has become one of the main tools for States to expand their national interests. Diplomacy is not only the practice of international relations between States through legally authorized representatives, but also the art of negotiation, aimed at defending the rights and interests of a people before foreign governments, and resolving conflicts over peaceful means, through the force of law.
