Answer:

23/12 hours or 1.9167 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Sam can clean the pool in 5 hours. This implies 1:5

Also, his coworker Glenn can clean the same pool in 7 hours. This implies 1:7

Since it's the same pool, let's generate a workrate formula.

Thus;

(1/5)x + (1/7)x = 1

Where x is the amount of time used by both of them to clean 1 pool

Simplifying it, we multiply each term by 35 to get;

7x + 5x = 35

12x = 35

x = 35/12

We are now told that One day Sam

started to clean the pool by himself and worked for an hour.

Thus, remaining time after Sam worked 1 hour is; (35/12) - 1 = 23/12 hours

Thus, time they both used to finish cleaning the pool is 23/12 hours

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

$- 3 = \frac{7 - - 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3 = \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6} \\ - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\ - 3a + 18 = 9 \\ - 3a = 9 - 18 \\ - 3a = - 9$

Divide both sides by - 3

$\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3} = \frac{ - 9}{ - 3} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Complete Question

Answer:

the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 122$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 122$

The test statistics is $t = - 1.761$

The p-value is $p = P(Z < t ) = 0.039119$

$p \ge 0.01$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 122$

The sample size is n= 38

The sample mean is $\= x = 116 \ feet$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 21$

Generally the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 122$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 122$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as

$t = \frac { \= x - \mu }{\frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }$

substituting values

$t = \frac { 116 - 122 }{\frac{ 21 }{ \sqrt{ 38} } }$

$t = - 1.761$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p = P(Z < t )$

From the z- table

$p = P(Z < t ) = 0.039119$

$p \ge 0.01$

sharia has a full time job and earns 475$ each week but she starts looking for ways to increase her weekly earnings . sharia fin

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Full time job:

Earning per week = $475

Part time job :

Earning per hour = $11

Number of working hours per week at per time job to increase weekly earning to atleast $600 ;

Let number of hours = h

Full time earning + earning per hour * (number of hours) ≥ 600

$475 + ($11 * h) ≥ 600

$475 + $11h ≥ 600

11h ≥ 600 - 475

11h ≥ 125

h ≥ 125 / 11

h ≥ 11.36

Hence, sharia will need to work for 12 hours per week
