An expression is a combination of a number(s) and a variable.

Here, we simply need to write the expression from the word problem in mathematical form.

"Number" is unknown.

Variables are used to represent an unknown value.

(The variable in this expression is y).

The word problem says a number y divided by 6.

Next-door neighbors Bob and Jim use hoses from both houses to fill Bob's swimming pool. They know that it takes 12 h using both

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Jim's hose: 27 hours.

Bob's hose: 21.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent hours taken by Jim's hose.

Part of pool filled by Jim's hose in 1 hour would be $\frac{1}{t}$ .

We have been given that Bob's hose, used alone, takes 20% less time than Jim's hose alone. This means that Bob's hose take will take 80% time of Jim's hose that is $0.8t$ .

Part of pool filled by Bob's hose in 1 hour would be $\frac{1}{0.8t}$ .

We are also told that it takes 12 hours using both hoses. Part of pool filled by both hoses in 1 hour would be $\frac{1}{12}$ .

Now, we will add rates of both hoses and equate with $\frac{1}{12}$ as:

$\frac{1}{t}+\frac{1}{0.8t}=\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{0.8}{0.8t}+\frac{1}{0.8t}=\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{0.8+1}{0.8t}=\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{1.8}{0.8t}=\frac{1}{12}$

Cross multiply:

$0.8t*1=1.8(12)$

$0.8t=21.6$

$\frac{0.8t}{0.8}=\frac{21.6}{0.8}$

$t=27$

Therefore, it will take 27 hours for Jim's hose to fill the pool alone.

Time take by Jim's hose alone: $0.8t\Rightarrow 0.8(27)=21.6$ .

Therefore, it will take 21.6 hours for Bob's hose to fill the pool alone.

Here is the question...

Rom4ik [11]

Cos60 degrees=1/2, so AK/AB=1/2. Since AK=KD, AK=1/2AD=1/2AB. Therefore, AB=AD. This is a rhombus, with four equal sides. Triangle ABK is congruent to triangle DBK (SAS), since AK=KD, angle AKB=angle BKD=90, and BK=BK. Therefore, BD=AB. The sum of four side lengths is 24. Each side length is equal to 24/4=6. BD=6.
