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.

Write the standard equation of a circle that passes through (−2, 10) with center (−2, 6).
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Standard form of a circle" (x-h)²+(y-k)²=r², (h,k) being the center, r being the radius.
in this case, h=-2, k=6, (x+2)²+(y-6)²=r²
use the point (-2,10) to find r: (-2+2)²+(10-6)²=r², r=4
so the equation of the circle is: (x+2)²+(y-6)²=4²

Please help with #5 and #8! I don’t really know all of the info to find the volume! (Composite Figures)
bagirrra123 [75]
It looks like you're doing good with breaking-down the composite into digestible pieces. So, don't stress too much!

Keep in mind that the area for a 3D shape is Bh, where "B" is the area of a face & "h" is the height.

#5
Shape A is 3X4X9.
First, calculate the area of a face:

9X4= 36

Multiply by height:

36X3= 108

The process is the same with shape B.
3X4X8
Calculate area of face:

8X4= 32

Multiply by height:

32X3= 96

Now you add both areas:

108+96= 204 cubic feet

I think you're doing pretty good, just don't over think things too much. Try #8 with the similar process seen here. Just comment if you get stuck.

Hope this helps!

Traveling with the current, a boat covers a distance 1.5 times greater than traveling against the current in the same amount of
jeka94
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
