Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

John can mow the same lawn in 3 hours.

In 1 hour he can mow 1/3rd of the lawn.

In 1 hour they can together mow (1/2+1/3)=5/6th of the lawn.

Together they can mow the lawn in 6/5 hours=1.2 hours.

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest, thank you!!

One container is filled with mixture that is 25% acid. A second container is filled with a mixture that is 55% acid. The second

algol13

Answer:

Therefore the third container contains $\frac{735}{17}\%$ = 43.23 % acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, One container is filled with the mixture that 25% acid. 55% acid is contain by second container.

Let the volume of first container be x cubic unit.

Since the volume of second container is 55% larger than the first.

Then the volume of the second container is

$= (V\times \frac{100+55}{100})$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{155}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in first container is

$=V\times \frac{25}{100}$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{25}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in second container is

$=(\frac{155}{100}V \times \frac{55}{100})$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{8525}{10000}V$ cubic unit.

Total amount of acid $=(\frac{25}{100}V+\frac{8525}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

$=(\frac{2500+8525}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

$=(\frac{11025}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

Total volume of mixture $=(V+\frac{155}{100}V)$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{100+155}{100}V$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{255}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in the mixture is

$=\frac{\textrm{The volume of acid}}{\textrm{The amount of mixture}}\times 100 \%$

$=\frac {\frac{11025}{10000}V}{\frac{255}{100}V}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{735}{17}\%$

Therefore the third container contains $\frac{735}{17}\%$ acid.

A triangle has side lengths of 39, 80, and<br> 87. Is this triangle a right triangle?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

39²=1521

80²=6400

39²+80²=1521+6400=7921

87²=7569

7921≠7569

so it is not aright angled triangle.

A recent poll of 80 randomly selected Californians showed that 38% ( = 0.38) believe they are doing all that they can to conserv

Elanso [62]

The margin of error given the proportion can be found using the formula

$z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }$

Where
$z*$ is the z-score of the confidence level
$p$ is the sample proportion
$n$ is the sample size

We have
$z*=2.58$
$p=0.38$
$n=80$

Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
$2.58 \sqrt{ \frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{80} } =0.14$

The result 0.14 as percentage is 14%

Margin error is 38% ⁺/₋ 14%
