Answer:
2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total work = X
Rate of work done = X ÷ time
Rate of A = X/4
Rate of B = X/6
If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.
X/4 + X/6
= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)
=5X/12
Rate = X/time
5X/12 = X/time
time = X÷(5X/12)
time = X × 12/(5X)
time = 2.4 hours
Shortcut:
Product of individual times/sum of individual times
= (4×6)/(4+6)
=24/10
=2.4 hours
Answer:
$30
Step-by-step explanation:
30 % + 10 % = 40 %
40 % of $50 = $20
%50 - $20 = $30
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write a equation.
5 ft = 20 seconds
(five feet is reachable in 20 seconds)
Divide both sides by 5.
5/5=1
20/5=4
1 ft = 4 seconds
Let's say the destination is d and f is foot.
d = 4f
5/4=1 2/4
So basically 5/4=6/4
