Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 identical pumps working to fill a pool. If it takes them working  together 8 hours to fill the pool, the equation is:

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{8} and

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{1}{8} . Cross multiply to get

x = 24, which is the number of hours it will take one pump to do the job all alone. If this be the case, and we have 4 pumps WORKING AT THE SAME TIME, filling the pool will be <u>the number of hours it takes one pump</u> divided by <u>4</u>.

4 pumps can do the job in 6 hours.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (4, -3)(4,−3) to (9, -8)(9,−8) that partitions the segme
jekas [21]

Answer:

  (7, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find point X on the segment from A to B such that ...

  (X -A)/(B -X) = 3/2

  2(X -A) = 3(B -X) . . . . . . cross multiply

  2X -2A = 3B -3X . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5X = 2A +3B . . . . . . . . add 3X +2A

  X = (2A +3B)/5 . . . . . . . divide by 5

Filling in the given points for A and B, we have ...

  X = (2(4, -3) +3(9, -8))/5 = (8+27, -6-24)/5 = (35, -30)/5

  X = (7, -6)

The point that divides the segment in the proportions 3:2 is (7, -6).
