Answer:

72.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours be represented as: x

Fred's Fruit Stand has 252 pounds of fruit and sells 2 7/8 pounds per hour.

Convert 2 7/8 pounds to decimal = 2.875pounds

Hence:

252 - 2.875x

Gary's grocery Store has 285 pounds of fruit and sells 3 1/3 pounds per hour.

Convert 3 1/3 pounds to decimal = 3.333 pounds

Hence:

285 - 3.333x

How many hours until they have the same amount of fruit left?

This calculated by equating both equation together

252 - 2.875x = 285 - 3.333x

Collect like terms

-2.875x + 3.333x = 285 - 252

0.458x = 33

x = 33 / 0.458

x = 72.052401747 hours

x ≈ 72.1 hours

They would have the same amount of fruit left after 72.1 hours

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Apply the rule

\left(-64\right)=-64\\\\=\sqrt[3]{-64}

Step 2: Apply the radical rule

\sqrt[3]{-64}=-\sqrt[3]{64}\\\\=-\sqrt[3]{64}

Step 3: Factor the number

\:64=4^3\\\\=-\sqrt[3]{4^3}

Step 4: Apply the radical rule

\sqrt[3]{4^3}=4\\\\=-4

Therefore, \:\sqrt[3]{\left(\:-\:64\right)}\:=\:-4

A right triangle has a leg length of 12 and a hypotenuse length of 18. What is the length of the other leg?
lord [1]

Answer:

The length of the leg is 13.416

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse  = 18

a = leg 1 = 12

b = leg 2 =

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values  and solve

18² = (12)² + (a)²

324 = 144 + (a)²

324 - 144 = (a)²

324 - 144 = (a)²

√180 = a

13.416 = a

The length of the leg is 13.416

Find out by using binomial theory<br> (2y-3x)^3
AveGali [126]
Binomial theory : ( a - b ) ^3 = a^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3 ;
Then, ( 2y - 3x ) ^3 = 8y^3 - 36y^2x + 54yx^2 - 27x^3
