Answer: Hence, Mr. Itol takes 9 hours, and his assistant takes 18 hours alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Mr. Itol takes be 'x'.

Let the number of hours Mr. Itol's assistant takes be '2x'.

Total number of hours both experts take = 6 hours

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{2+1}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2x}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\18=2x\\\\x=\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\x=9

Number of hours taken by him = x = 9 hours

Number of hours taken by his assistant = 2x = 2\times 9=18\ hours

Hence, Mr. Itol takes 9 hours, and his assistant takes 18 hours alone.

A cone and cylinder have the same height and their bases are congruent circles. If the volume of the cylinder is 120 cubic inche
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Volume of cone = 40 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of cylinder = 120 in³

Height of cylinder = Height of cone

Radius of cylinder = Radius of cone

Find:

Volume of cone

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h = 120 in³

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h

So,

Volume of cone = (1/3)(120)

Volume of cone = 40 in³

Mr. Schwartz builds toy cars. He begins the week with a supply of 85 wheels, and uses 4 wheels for each car he builds. Mr. Schwa
Oksana_A [137]

solution: Mr. Schwartz will need to order more wheels after building 12 cars.

explanation:

Mr. Schwartz begins with total number of wheels = 85

he has to order more wheels once he left with less than 40 wheels

so min. no. of wheels he can use before ordering more wheels = 85-40 = 45

Mr. Schwartz uses 4 wheels to build 1 car

Mr. Schwartz uses 45 wheels to build 45÷4 = 11.25 cars

then, if he builds 12 cars then he needs 12×4 = 48 wheels

total supply of wheels he begins with = 85

wheels he used to build 12 cars = 48

so total number of wheels remaining  are = 85-48 = 37

since 37 is less than 40 so after building 12 cars Mr. Schwartz need to order more wheels.

What is the answer to 2/3^5 divided by 2/3^1
lorasvet [3.4K]

Use the rules of indices

When they are dividing we subtract the exponents provided the bases are the same.

Since the bases are the same,

(2/3)^5 ÷ (2/3)¹

Will be

(2/3)^5-1

= (2/3)⁴

= 16/81

Hope this helps.
