Answer:

3 hours and 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 Workers complete a job in 4 hours

1 worker complete a job 12 × 4 = 48

15 workers complete a job = 48/15 = 3³/¹⁵ = 3¹/⁵

= 3 hours + 1/5 × 60  minutes = 3 hours 12 minutes.

Find a number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite ?

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

It's opposite is '-x'.

A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

i.e. x - 12 = 3(-x)

Solving the equation,

x-12=-3x

x+3x=12

4x=12

x=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, the number is 3.

900% of it is 450 ?<br><br> please help with this
charle [14.2K]
900% of 450=4050

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 450 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 900% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=900%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 450=100%
2) x=900%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
450/x=100%/900%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 900% of 450

450/x=100/900
(450/x)*x=(100/900)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
450=0.111111111111*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.111111111111) to get x
450/0.111111111111=x
4050=x

A 10 2/3 -inch long pipe is cut into 8 equal length pieces. How long is each piece?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Each peice is 1 1/3 (4/3) long.

Step by step explanation:

10 2/3 divided by 8

10 2/3 = 32/3

32/3 divided by 8 = 32/3 x 1/8

32 times 1 = 32, 3 times 8 = 24 =32/24

32/24 in simplest form is 4/3 (aka 1 1/3)

Hope this helped! :)

Express the equation in rectangular form<br> a) r = 2sin(2Θ)<br> b) r = 4cos(3Θ)
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a.  sqrt(x^2+y^2) * (x^2+y^2) = 4xy

b.  (x^2+y^2)^2 = 4x{ (x^2 - 3 y^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) r = 2sin(2Θ)

r* = 2 sin 2 theta

We know  sin 2theta = 2 sin theta cos theta

r = 2 * 2 sin theta cos theta

sin theta = y/r  and cos theta = x/r

r = 4 y/r * x/r

r = 4xy / r^2

Multiply each side by r^2

r^3 = 4xy

r * r^2 = 4xy

We know r = sqrt(x^2+y^2)  and r^2 = (x^2+y^2)

sqrt(x^2+y^2) * (x^2+y^2) = 4xy

b) r = 4cos(3Θ)

we know that cos 3 theta = cos^3(theta) - 3 sin^2(theta) cos(theta)

r = 4 *cos^3(theta) - 3 sin^2(theta) cos(theta)

Factor out a cos theta

r = 4 *cos(theta){ cos^2 (theta) - 3 sin^2(theta) }

We know that  sin theta = y/r  and cos theta = x/r

r = 4 (x/r) { (x/r)^2 - 3 (y/r)^2}

r = 4 *(x/r) { (x^2/r^2 - 3 y^2/r^2}

Multiply by r

r^2 = 4x { (x^2/r^2 - 3 y^2/r^2}

Multiply by r^2

r^2 *r^2 = 4x { (x^2 - 3 y^2}

r^4 = 4x{ (x^2 - 3 y^2}

We know  r^2 = (x^2+y^2)

(x^2+y^2)^2 = 4x{ (x^2 - 3 y^2}

maksim [4K]

Answer:

A). PR = 16.13 ft

B). QR = 9.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (A).

From the figure attached,

ΔPQR is a right triangle,

m(PQ) = 14 ft

m(QR) = 8 ft

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

(PR)² = (PQ)² + (QR)²

(PR)² = (14)² + (8)²

PR = √260

     = 16.125

     ≈ 16.13 ft

Part (B).

If PR = 17 feet

and PQ = 14 feet

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR,

PR² = PQ² + QR²

(17)² = (14)² + (QR)²

(QR)² = 289 - 196

QR = √93

     = 9.644

     ≈ 9.64 ft
