Answer: 0.27£

Explanation:

9 apples + 9 bananas = 2.43
9(apple + banana) = 2.43
Apple + banana = 2.43/9
Apple + banana = 0.27£

Therefore, the cost of an apple AND a banana is 0.27£

Answer:

  • Apple - £0.12
  • Banana - £0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • 9 apples and 9 bananas cost £2.43
  • 2 apples and 3 bananas cost £0.69
<h3>To find</h3>
  • Cost of an apple and a banana
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • Apple  = a
  • Banana = b

<u>Equations</u>

  • 9a + 9b = 2.43 ⇒ a + b = 2.43/9= 0.27
  • 2a + 3b = 0.69 ⇒ 2(a + b) + b = 0.69 ⇒ 2*0.27 + b = 0.69 ⇒ b = 0.15
  • a = 0.27 - 0.15 = 0.12

<u>So the answer</u>

  • Cost of apple =  £0.12
  • Cost of banana = £0.15

From a thin piece of cardboard 30 in. by 30 in., square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box. Wh
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume =  height x length x width

considering 'x' as the length of the square corners that has been cut out from the cardboard and also, that is height of the cardboard box.

square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box, cardboard sides would reduce by 2x

therefore,

V = x  (30-2x) (30-2x) ---> eq(1)

V=( 30x - 2x²) (30-2x)

V= 900x- 60x² - 60x² + 4x³

V=  4x³ - 120 x²+ 900x

Taking derivative w.r.t 'x'

dV/dx = 12x² - 240 x +900

dV/dx = 4 (3x² - 60x +225)

For maximum dV/dx, make it equal zero

dV/dx = 0

so,  4 (3x² - 60x +225)=0

3x² - 60x+225=0   (taking 3 common)

x² - 20x + 75 =0

Solving this quadratic equation

x² - 15x -5x + 75 =0

x(x-15) - 5(x-15) =0

Either (x-15)=0

x=15

Or x-5=0

x = 5

if we substitute x=15 in eq(1), volume becomes zero.

therefore, x cannot be 15

When x= 5

eq(1)=>V = 5  (30-2(5)) (30-2(5))

V= 5 (10) (10)

V= 500 cubic inches,

Therefore, Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

A swimming pool holds 480,000 liters of water. The pool has two drainage pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe
sweet-ann [11.9K]
The answer is 96 min, here is why:

x / 240 + x / 160 = 1 
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min

(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>

mario62 [17]

Answer:

change below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would start out at in the middle of a number line (horizontal). After the first play, you would move to the left on the line 5 spots (to simulate 5 yards lost) and then make a dot to show your new position. You would do the same thing for the next two plays, moving 5 spots to the left each play and creating a new starting point each time. The total spots moved after the 3 plays is 15 spots to the left.
