Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

Find f(x)+g(x), given f(x)=x^2-8 and g(x)=-2-x^2
Gnoma [55]

\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)=-10

\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)

=x^2-8-2-x^2

=x^2-x^2-8-2

=-8-2

=-10

What is the y-intercept of the exponential function? f(x)=−32(2)x−3+3 Enter your answer in the box.
Bogdan [553]

y-intercept for x = 0.

Substitute x = 0 to the equation of the function:

f(x)=-32(2)^{x-3}+3\\\\f(0)=-32(2)^{0-3}+3=-32(2)^{-3}+3=-32\cdot\dfrac{1}{2^3}+3=-32\cdot\dfrac{1}{8}+3\\\\=-4+3=-1\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{y-intercept=-1\to(0,\ -1)}

A spinner has 10 equally sized sections, 5 of which are gray and 5 of which are blue. The spinner is spun twice. What is the pro
zhenek [66]

Answer:

P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sections = 10

n(Gray) = 5

n(Blue) = 5

Required

Determine P(Gray and Blue)

Using probability formula;

P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)

Calculating P(Gray)

P(Gray) = \frac{n(Gray)}{Sections}

P(Gray) = \frac{5}{10}

P(Gray) = \frac{1}{2}

Calculating P(Gray)

P(Blue) = \frac{n(Blue)}{Sections}

P(Blue) = \frac{5}{10}

P(Blue) = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute these values on the given formula

P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)

P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}

P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}

Need help again math 7th grade ​
Olenka [21]

Answer: 1/2 as a fraction

.5 as a decimal

Step-by-step explanation: The probability of them rolling a number would be 3/6 or simplified 1/2 because if there is a 6 sided dice the denominator would be 6 and there are 3 odd numbers on the dice which are 1,3,and 5 so if u have to simplify it would be 1/2 if not 3/6. Also 1/2 as a decimal would be .5
