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.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

\$\ 25

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the absolute error is defined as:

\epsilon = |x_a - x_e|

Where:

\epsilon: is the error

x_a: is the approximate value

x_e: is the exact value

In this problem the approximate value was 100 and the exact value was 75. Then we substitute these values in the formula to find the error.

\epsilon = |100 - 75|\\\epsilon = \$\ 25

The world population in 2013 was about 7.125 billion. In 2003, it was about 6.357 billion. Which number represents the increase
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D.

7.68 × 108

Step-by-step explanation:

World population in 2013 was about 7.125 billion

In 2003 , it was about 6.357 billion

Increase = 2013 population- 2003 population

That’s 7.125 billion - 6.357 billion = 0.768 billion

A billion has 9 zeros. When you move The point one place to the right , it reduces the number of zeros by one. you now have

7.68 x 10^8

What values of b satisfy 3(2b + 3)2 = 36?
KiRa [710]

the correct question is

What values of b satisfy 3(2b+3)^2 = 36


we have

3(2b+3)^2 = 36

Divide both sides by 3

(2b+3)^2 = 12

take the square root of both sides

( 2b+3)} =(+ /-) \sqrt{12} \\ 2b=(+ /-) \sqrt{12}-3


b1=\frac{\sqrt{12}}{2} -\frac{3}{2}

b1=\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}


b2=\frac{-\sqrt{12}}{2} -\frac{3}{2}

b2=-\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}

therefore


the answer is

the values of b are

b1=\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}

b2=-\sqrt{3} -\frac{3}{2}
