Answer:

4 19/20 hours or 4 hours , 57 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

In 9 hours Maria can fill a certain order let Say X

In 9/9 hours Maria can fill   X/9 of the order

in 1 hour Maria can fill   X/9 of the order

__________________________________

In 11 hours Jim can fill a certain order let Say X

In 11/11 hours Maria can fill   X/11 of the order

in 1 hour Maria can fill   X/11 of the order

_____________________________________________

Therefore total order filled by them in one hour will sum of individual work done by them in one hour.

Mathematically,

total order filled by Jim and maria in one hour = work done by Jim in one + work done by Maria in one hour

total order filled by Jim and maria in one hour = 1/11 + 1/9

=> 1/11 + 1/9 \\=> (9 + 11)/11*9\\=> 20/99

=>20/99 of certain order is filled by both of them in one hour.

=>Total order is one. Hence, to get 1 from 20/99 we need to multiply it with its reciprocal (i.e 99/20) as 20/99 *99/20 = 1

now

=>20/99 of certain order is filled by both of them in 1 hour.

=>multiplying both order and hour with 99/20 we have

20/99 *99/20 of certain order is filled by both of them in 1* 99/20 hour

Thus total order is filled by them in 99/20 hours = 4 19/20 hours.

1 hour has 60 minutes

so 19/20 has 60*19/20 minutes = 57 minutes.

Working together, Jim and Maria   will  take 4 hours , 57 minutes  to fill the order.

What is the mean of the measures of the three exterior angles of a triangle if two of the interior angles have measures of 63 an
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

  1. Mean score=120

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Areas of a triangle add upto 180degrees (63+78+x=180) 141+x= (x=180-141) x=39
  2. Areas on a straight line add upto 180degrees

180-78=102

180-63=117

180-39=141

  1. 102+117+141=360
  2. Mean=360/3 =120

The average test scores for a particular test in algebra was 84 with a standard deviation of 5. What percentage of the students
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The average test scores for a particular test in algebra was 84

so, mean is 84

\mu=84

a standard deviation of 5

so,

\sigma=5

we have

x=89

now, we can use z-score formula

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

now, we can plug values

z=\frac{89-84}{5}

z=1

now, we can use calculator

and we get

p(z>1)=0.1587

So,

The percentage of the students scored higher than 89% is 15.87%

Can someone help me with this and explain it to me please? :)<br><br> CHECK ATTACHED

23. not equivalent because the first row 3x-9y=5 then if you multiplied this equation by 2 it will be 2(3x-9y) = 2(5) so 6x-18y= 10 not 6x-9y=10


24.equivalent because the second row 2y-6x=8 multiplied by 2 is 2(2y-6x)= 2(8) so 4y-12x=16

25. equivalent because the first row 5x+3y=19 multiplied by 2 is 2(5x+3y) = 2(19) SO 10X+6Y=38 and the second row 2x+4y=20 multiplied by 5 is 5(2x+4y)= 5(20) so 10x+20y=100
