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.

Svetlanka [38]

No, they are both incorrect by my understanding of your question use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 =c^, therefore, 7^2 +x^2 = 13^2 or 49+x=169 then solve normally 169-49=120  √120 =5

The answer is 5

Write the fraction as a whole or mixed number.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 1500 cellular phones per 1000 people, then the number of phones per person is:

\frac{1500}{1000} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{3}{2}

Now we know that \frac{3}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}

A wheel has a diameter of 21 inches. <br><br> Approximately how far does it travel in 3 revolutions?
RideAnS [48]
So each 1 revolution it travels the distance around the rim of the wheele aka circumference
circumference=pi times diameter
diameter=21
circunference=pi times 21 or 21pi
so distance=number of revolutions times circunference
number of revolutions=3
subsitute

distance=3 times 21pi
distance=63pi

answer is 63pi
or aprox pi to 3.14 and do 63 times 3.14=197.82
aprox 197.82 inches
