Rashid [163]

The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used

Answer:

Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.

Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W = hours of use by Lewis family

65 - W = hours of use by Perry family

Then;

15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850

15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850

(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600

-25W = −750

W = 750/25 = 30

Therefore;

W = 30

65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35

Hence,

Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.

Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.

(a) Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A(0, 545) and B(4, 726). (Let t be the independent variable and y

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is $y=45.25t+545$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

$y=mt+n$ (1)

where:

$m$ is the slope of the line and $m$ is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, $y$ in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope ( $m$ ) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}$ (2)

where $t_1, t_2, y_1$ and $y_2$ are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

$t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\$

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

$m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25$

Hence, the line equation is now:

$y=45.25t+n$ (3)

Now to obtain the value of $n$ you can follow two options:

You can substitute one of your points, $A$ or $B$ , in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is $n$

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero $t=0$ . Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

$45.25*0+n=545\\n=545$

Therefore, the line equation is: $y=45.25t+545$

The second option to find $n$ is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that $n$ is equal to $545$ .

See the attachment for a plot of the line.

45 cookies will serve 15 students.

You would multiply 15 by 2 that would give you 30, therefore you multiply 45 by 2 which will be 90.

90 cookies will serve 30 students
