Two large and 1 small pumps can fill a swimming pool in 4 hours. One large and 3 small pumps can also fill the same swimming poo

l in 4 hours. How many hours will it take 4 large and 4 small pumps to fill the swimming pool.(We assume that all large pumps are similar and all small pumps are also similar.)
if u get this right i will mark brainliest

Let <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> be the unit rates at which one large pump and one small pump works, respectively.

Two large/one small operate at a unit rate of

(1 pool)/(4 hours) = 0.25 pool/hour

so that

2<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 0.25

One large/three small operate at the same rate,

(1 pool)/(4 hours) = 0.25 pool/hour

<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> = 0.25

Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>. We have

<em>y</em> = 0.25 - 2<em>x</em>   ==>   <em>x</em> + 3 (0.25 - 2<em>x</em>) = 0.25

==>   <em>x</em> + 0.75 - 6<em>x</em> = 0.25

==>   5<em>x</em> = 0.5

==>   <em>x</em> = 0.1

==>   <em>y</em> = 0.25 - 2 (0.1) = 0.25 - 0.2 = 0.05

In other words, one large pump alone can fill a 1/10 of a pool in one hour, while one small pump alone can fill 1/20 of a pool in one hour.

Now, if you have four each of the large and small pumps, they will work at a rate of

4<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> = 4 (0.1) + 4 (0.05) = 0.6

meaning they can fill 3/5 of a pool in one hour. If it takes time <em>t</em> to fill one pool, we have

(3/5 pool/hour) (<em>t</em> hours) = 1 pool

==>   <em>t</em> = (1 pool) / (3/5 pool/hour) = 5/3 hours

So it would take 5/3 hours, or 100 minutes, for this arrangement of pumps to fill one pool.

Orbet used 24 square tiles to make a rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 units. What would be the perimeters of the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The perimeter of other rectangles are 50, 28, 22 units

The area of all possible rectangles are same and equals to 24 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Orbet used 24 square tiles to make a rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 units.

To find -  What would be the perimeters of the other rectangles Orbet could make using only these 24 tiles? How do the areas of the rectangles compare?

Proof -

We know that

Are of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

And Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth )

Now,

Given that,

Orbet used 24 square tiles

And perimeter of the rectangle made = 20

So,

Possible Length of rectangle = 6

Possible breadth of Rectangle = 4

Or Vice-versa.

Total number of Rectangles possible = 4

Possibilities are -  1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6

Case I :

Length of rectangle = 1

Breadth of rectangle = 24

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(1 + 24) = 2(25) = 50 units

Area of rectangle = 1 × 24 = 24 unit²

Case II :

Length of rectangle = 2

Breadth of rectangle = 12

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(2 + 12) = 2(14) = 28 units

Area of rectangle = 2 × 12 = 24 unit²

Case III :

Length of rectangle = 3

Breadth of rectangle = 8

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(3 + 8) = 2(11) = 22 units

Area of rectangle = 3 × 8 = 24 unit²

Case IV :

Length of rectangle = 4

Breadth of rectangle = 6

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(4 + 6) = 2(10) = 20 units

Area of rectangle = 4 × 6 = 24 unit²

∴ we get

The perimeter of other rectangles are 50, 28, 22 units

The area of all possible rectangles are same and equals to 24 unit²

A product comes in cans labeled "38 oz". A random sample of 10 cans had the following weights:
KiRa [710]

Answer:

b. 35.9, 39.1 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

barX=37.465 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.27 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

barX +- t*[(s)/(sqrt{n))]   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_(alpha/2)=2.26

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

37.465-2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=35.9    

37.465+2.26[(2.27)/(sqrt{10))]=39.1

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (35.9;39.1)
