The answer is c) 13/60.

Explanation: the answer is 13/60. This is because in order to find the sum of the fractions you have to add them. In order to add fractions they have to have common denominators. The least common multiple of 3, 4, and 5 is 60 so your denominator is 60 now you have to multiply the numerator by whatever you multiplied the denominator by to get 60. For 1/3 the new fraction would be 20/60 for 1/4 the new fraction would be 15/60 and for 1/5 the new fraction would be 12/60. When you add these fractions together you get 47/60. Now you have to do 60/60 - 47/60 and you get 13/60. Because this is in simplest form the answer is 13/60

Answer:

2/5, or B.

Explanation:

Let's make the total work needed<em> </em>x. Then Worker A does 1/3x and 2/3x work is left for the other workers to do (we know this because 1-1/3 = 2/3). Thus, worker B comes and does 1/4 of the remaining work, which is 2/3x. So, worker B does 1/4*(2/3x), which gives you 1/6x. Then, to find the work left over for worker C, we subtract 1/6x from 2/3x, which gives us 3/6x, or 1/2x. Then. worker C does 1/5 of 1/2x, giving us 1/5*(1/2x), which is 1/10x. To find the remaining work, we do 1/2x - 1/10x to get 4/10x, which simplifies to 2/5x. <u>Therefore, the answer is 2/5, or B. </u>

A town has a population of 16000 and grows at 4. 5% every year. What will be the population after 8 years, to the nearest whole
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

21,760 or 22,000

Explanation:

Find out what is 4.5% of 16,000 which will get you to 720.

720 times 8 equals 5,760.

16,000 + 5,760 = 21,760

rounded to the nearest whole number is 22,000

a helicopter flies parallel to the ground at an altitude of 1/2 kilometer and at a speed of 2 kilometers per minute. if the heli
Murrr4er [49]

The Pythagoras' theorem and the uniform motion allows to find the answer for the rate of change of distance is

               v = 32.3 m / s

The distance is the length of the segment that a white house wing with the helicopter, this can be found using the Pythagoras' theorem

               R = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

Where R is the distance, x is the horizontal distance where the helicopter flies and y is the vertical distance that corresponds to the flight height

y = 500 m

Since the helicopter flies at constant speed, we can use the uniform motion relation

              v_h = \frac{x}{t}

              x = v_ht

Where v_h is the speed of the helicopter and t is the time

We substitute  

                r = \sqrt {(V_h \ t)^2 + y^2}

Kinematics defines velocity as the change of position in the unit of time

            v = \frac{dR}{dt}

           v = \frac{1}{2} \  \frac{2 ( v_h t) v_h}{ \sqrt{(v_h t)^2 + y^2} }

           v = \frac{v_h^2 \ t}{ \sqrt{(v_h t)^2 + y^2} }

This expression is the change in distance as a function of time for a given speed. In the exercise, this speed is requested for a time of one minute, for the helicopter speed of

        v = 2km/min (\frac{1000m}{1km} ) ( \frac{1 min}{60s}) = 33.33 m / s

Let's calculate

            v = \frac{33.33^2 \ 60 }{ \sqrt{ )33.3 \ 60)^2 +500^2} }

         

            v = 32.3 m / s

In conclusion using the Pythagoras' theorem and the uniform motion we can find the answer for the rate of change in distance is

               v = 32.3 m / s
