Paul can install a 300 hundred square foot hardwood floor in 18 hours. Matt can install the same floor in 22 hours. How long wou

Vadim26 [7]

ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
$9.9 \: \: hours$
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

$= \frac{1}{18}$

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
$= \frac{1}{22}$

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
$x \: hours$
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

$= \frac{1}{x}$

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

$\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}$

Simplify the left hand side

$\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

$\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}$

$x = 9.9 \: hours$

The International Space Station orbits at an altitude of about 250 miles about Earth’s surface. The radius of Earth is approxima

Hatshy [7]

In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.

In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.

(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.

The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
