Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

It will take him

\frac{1}{2}

of a minute to fill the bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm really not sure this is right but..

we can solve using proportions. Cross-multiply and divide.

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{\frac{1}{6} minute} \:  =  \frac{ \frac{3}{3} of \: a \: water \: bottle}{x}  \\  \\  \frac{ \frac{1}{6} }{ \frac{1}{3} }  =  \frac{ \frac{1}{3} x}{ \frac{1}{3} }  \\  \\  \frac{1}{2}  = x

F(x) = -2x²-2x+10, find f(2)
beks73 [17]

Answer:

f(2) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 2 everywhere you see an x so f(2) = -2(2^{2}) - 2(2) + 10 so

f(2) = -2(4) - 4 + 10, so f(2) = -8-4+10, f(2) = -12+10, f(2) = -2

Sophie and Simon are peeling a pile of potatoes for lunch in the cafeteria. Sophie can peel all the potatoes by herself in 45 mi
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Short Answer: 18 minutes
Remark

The answer to this problem is less than the smallest time of the two people working together. that fact lets out C and D (38 minutes and 75 minutes). Now you have to choose 15 minutes and 18 minutes. There's a method. No guessing needed.

Givens
Let the time for Sophie = S
Let the time for Simon = M
Let the job to completion = 1 
S = 45 minutes
M = 30 minutes

Step One
Convert minutes to hours.
45 minutes = 45 / 60 = 3/4 hour = 0.75 hour
30 minutes = 30 / 60 = 1/2 hour = 0.50 hour

Step Two
Set up the Equation
The formula is a form of job / hour.
Let the time = t that they both have to work

job = 1 in these problems.
1/S + 1/M = 1/t
1/0.75 + 1/0.5 = 1/t

Solve
1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.33333
1 ÷ 0.5 = 2

1.3333 + 2 = 3.33333 
3.3333 = 1 / t                    Multlply both sides by t
3.3333*t = 1
t = 1 / 3.333333333
t = 0.3 of an hour


1 hour = 60 minutes
0.3 hours = x              Cross Multiply
x = 60 * 0.3
x = 18 minutes

Answer working together it took them 18 minutes  <<<<<
