Answer: With 11 pipes, you need 31.82 minutes to fill the tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define R as the rate at which one single pipe can fill a tank.

We know that 7 of them can fill a tank in 50 minutes, then we have the equation:

7*R*50min = 1 tank

Whit this equation, we can find the value of R:

R = 1 tank/(7*50min) = (1/350) tank/min.

Now that we know the value of R, we can do the same calculation but now with 11 pipes.

Then the time needed to fill the tank, T, is such that:

11*(1/350 tank/min)*T = 1 tank

We need to isolate T.

T = 1 tank/(11*(1/350 tank/min)) = 31.82 min

With 11 pipes, you need 31.82 minutes to fill the tank.

Which of the following intervals represents the set (1,4) u [2,6]?
fenix001 [56]
Set is a sum of two intervals :(1,4) u [2,6] 
In the first interval it is open on both sides so 1 and 4 don't belong to this interval, the second is closed so both 2 and 6 belong to interval and numbers between 2 and 6
We can write it as 1<x\leq 6
summing both sets we have one set: (1,6]
so
a) represent our set
b) also represent because all numbers between 4-6 and 6 are in our set
c)also represent, all numbers are in main set
d)also represent
