Answer:

On average, customer spends approximately  98 min at Little’s Law Firm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Arrival rate λ = 6 per 8 hours =  6 / ( 8 × 60 )min = 6 / 480 = 0.0125 per minute

Service rate δ = 1 / 50 min = 0.02 per minute

Standard deviation σ = 20 min

Now,

Utilization rate U = Arrival rate / Service rate

U = 0.0125 / 0.02

Utilization rate = 0.625

Number of people in Queue will be;

⇒ ( (λ² × σ²) + U² ) / ( 2 × ( 1 - U )

we substitute

⇒ ( (0.0125² × 20²) + 0.625² ) / ( 2 × ( 1 - 0.625 )

⇒ ( 0.0625 + 0.390625 ) / ( 2 × 0.375 )

⇒ 0.453125 / 0.75

Number of people in Queue = 0.6042

Now

Wait in the Queue = Number of people in Queue / λ

= 0.6042 / 0.0125 = 48.336

Wait Time in Office = Wait in the Queue + ( 1 / δ )

= 48.336 + ( 1 / 0.02 )

= 48.336 + 50

Wait Time in Office = 98.336 ≈ 98 min

Therefore, On average, customer spends approximately  98 min at Little’s Law Firm

The volume of a large tank is 210 ft3. It is 5 3/5
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

20 5/6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/5 = 28/5

1 4/5 = 9/5

V = l * w * h

210 = l * 28/5 * 9/5

210 = l * 252/25

multiply both sides by 25/252

5250/25 = l

Reduce

20 5/6 = l

20 5/6 ft

During a checkers game, there are 16 pieces left. The ratio of black to red is 3 : 5. How many black pieces are on the board? Ex
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

6 black pieces

10 red pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to interpret ratios is like so:

Adding up both parts of the ratio gives 8, i.e. 3 + 5

So for every 8 pieces, 3 are black and 5 are red;

There are 16 pieces, which is 2 × 8;

So, there are (2 × 3) black pieces and (2 × 5) red pieces, i.e. 6 black and 10 red

So, to solve:

Add all parts of the ratio (3 + 5);

Divide the number of pieces (16) by this sum of ratio parts (8);

Multiply the value from the division (2) by each part of the ratio

Tip:

It is important to take note of the order in the ratio, so the ratio of black to red means the number that comes first in the ratio represents parts black and the one that comes second represents parts red;

If the wording was the ratio of red to black, the number that comes first would represent parts red and the second would represent parts black

PLEASE, I NEED THIS NOW!!!!
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

For the first one

x= About 32.02

y= About 27.58

z= About 55.16

For the second one

x= 6

y= 12

z= about 16.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Their all really simple

These are special right triangles, a 45, 45, 90 and a 30, 60, 90 triangle. The formla for these triangles are shown in the picture below.

Now for the first one ]

Lets find Z first

Now this is a 45 special right triangle so we know the other side s 39 but the hypotenuse is n\sqrt{2} (I’m using N becuase x and y is taken) So n is basically 39 (look at the image below) and just solve that. Now for x and y. We know its a 30, special right triangle. We know that 39 here is already the answer for  N\sqrt{3} so make an equation to find the n and you’ll get 27.58 for y. Now For x, its just doubled the y.

For the second one this is easier

We know that the x is (6) becuase its already in the radical number, now to find the hypotnuse, we double that and get 12. Now we know what y is becuase since the 2nd triangle is a 45/45/90, we know that 12 is y, the hypotnuse is just N\sqrt{2} and we just plug in the n with 12 and solve it!

The larger of two numbers is 33 more than the smaller. When added together, the sum of the larger number and five times the smal
VARVARA [1.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x and smaller number be y

according to this question

x=y+33----------(1)

y+33+5y=129----------(2)

6y+33=129

y=16

x=16+33(takimg equation (1)

Help me please i don't know what to do
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a. a = 1, b = -5, c = -14

b. a = 1, b = -6, c = 9

c. a = -1, b = -1, c = -3

d. a = 1, b = 0, c = -1

e. a = 1, b = 0, c = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

a. x-ints at 7 and -2

this means that our quadratic equation must factor to:

(x-7)(x+2) = 0

FOIL:

x^2 + 2x - 7x - 14 = 0

Simplify:

x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0

a = 1, b = -5, c = -14

b. one x-int at 3

this means that the equation will factor to:

(x-3)^2=0

FOIL:

x^2 - 3x - 3x +9 = 0

Simplify:

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0

a = 1, b = -6, c = 9

c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0

This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down

There are many equations for this, but one could be:

-x^2-x-3=0

a = -1, b = -1, c = -3

d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int

We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1

The equation will factor to:

(x+1)(x-1)=0

This is a perfect square

FOIL:

x^2-1=0

a = 1, b = 0, c = -1

e. x-int at \sqrt{3} , -\sqrt{3}

our equation will factor to:

(x+\sqrt{3} )(x-\sqrt{3)} =0

This is also a perfect square

FOIL and you will get:

x^2 - 3 = 0

a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
