Answer:

7.2\; \text{hours}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of this cistern be 1.

The first pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{12\; \text{hour}}.

In other words, each hour, the first pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} of the cistern every hour.

On the other hand, the second pipe fills the cistern at a rate of \displaystyle \frac{1}{18\; \text{hour}}.

This pipe would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{18} of the cistern every hour.

Hence, when opened together, the two pipes would fill \displaystyle \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{2}{36} = \frac{5}{36} of this cistern every hour.

At this rate, it would take \displaystyle \frac{36}{5}\; \text{hours} = 7.2\; \text{hours} for the two pipes to fill the entire cistern.

Without graphing, determine whether the following pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicul
Tomtit [17]

Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form

y=\frac{2}{5}x-4

Second equation: solve y:

\begin{gathered} 4x-10y=-7 \\ 4x-4x-10y=-4x-7 \\ -10y=-4x-7 \\ \frac{-10}{-10}y=\frac{-4}{-10}x-\frac{7}{-10} \\  \\ y=\frac{4}{10}x+\frac{7}{10} \\  \\ y=\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{7}{10} \end{gathered}

Identify the slope of each line:

If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel

If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular

The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Productivity: My candy bar company made 100 million bars last year, sold for $1 each. I also paid [L] people last year, with an average salary of $100K last year. I have overhead cost of $10M. What was my TOTAL productivity (no units, rounded to 2 decimal places)?

Solution:

Total productivity is the average of labour and capital productivity weighted and adjusted to price fluctuations. It is the ratio of total output to the total input. The total productivity is given by the formula:

Total productivity = total output / total input

Total output = Revenue = number of bars sold * price per bar

Total output = 100 million * $1 = $100 million

Total input = Total salary + overhead cost

Total salary = number of people * average salary = 100 *$100000 = $10 million

overhead cost = $10 million

Total input = $10 million + $10 million = $20 million

Total productivity = total output / total input = $100 million / $20 million

Total productivity = 5
