Lesson 5.3: Rational

Mathematics
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It will take 18 minutes to fill the trough using both pumps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by pump A = half hour = 30 minutes

Time taken by pump B = three quarters of an hour

One quarter = \frac{1}{4}

One hour = 60 minutes

Three quarters of an hour = \frac{3}{4}*60 = 45 minutes

Let,

x be the time taken by both pumps to fill the trough.

\frac{1}{time\ taken\ by\ pump\ A}+\frac{1}{time\ taken\ by\ pump\ B}=\frac{1}{Time\ taken\ by\ both\ pumps}

\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{45}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{3+2}{90}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{5}{90}=\frac{1}{x}\\\\\frac{1}{18}=\frac{1}{x}\\x=18

Hence,

It will take 18 minutes to fill the trough using both pumps.

What is the probability of choosing a burrito with cheese and a taco or a wrap with salsa?
neonofarm [45]
7:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one is to think about how often tacos are made. Tacos are made often. Now think about how often Wraps are made, not very often. After some research, the ratio is 7 burritos to 2 wraps. This would make the answer 7:2. Unfortunately tacos are more loved than Wraps.
